Deliver us a double expresso.

Diliver us a double expresso.
THE PEOPLE SPEAK: Is your church doing what God wants?

Does your church follow a strict routine every Sunday? Does your bulletin dictate to you the way you should worship God? Is every Sunday the same old routine? Can you remember the last time you saw someone accept Jesus in your church or has it been so long that you can't remember? Does your church give an altar call after every service or does your congregation feel it isn't necessary anymore? As you drive up to your church, do you feel God¹s presence already there? Would the church you attend be happy to have Jesus attend every service you have, or would they hope he would stay away? In the Bible, Revelation 2 and 3 state how God treats churches that no longer honor him. Have you ever stepped back and taken a good look at the church you attend? Would your church pass the test of Revelation? Thomas Dick Fort Gibson, ok., last week phoenix.


We have two kinds of morality side by side: one which we preach but do not practice and another which we practice but seldom preach. Using Revelations God told me to stop criticizing organized Christianity, something about being His domain, myob, He did clear up the Luke-warm thing. The best device I have found so far to detect a hypocrite is my bathroom mirror, I guarantee, gaze in there, you will catch a glimpse of one. If you cant find one in yours? Come over to My house, said God and take a peep in Mine and find two. I always do. Remember, those eyes you see in the mirror are unmistakably the windows to the soul. You are looking into Gods eyes. God is in that mirror too, God isn't there unless you bring Him, sometimes you have to bring Him where He is not.

I love your Christ, but I do not like Christians. Your Christians are nothing like your Christ, said Gandhi. Gandhi's ideas and values were not unlike Christians: teach, preach, baptize and trust God clean house, help others clean house, clean house keep house clean, wash, rinse, repeat. Basic rules to follow.

 I am finding the sincerity of modern churches dubious, I went to one, a big church here in Tahlequah, walked in and looked around, thought I interrupted the judging of a beauty contest. I saw more cleavage in the main sanctuary than playboy Hugh Heffner's last pool party. There must have been enough silicon in that room to seal the asphalt cracks between Barstow and Needles. Vanity.......... 'A conceited person! These words are not exactly what you would call a compliment! Yet the highest goal of a conceited person is to be complimented. Externally he tries to have an attractive appearance and wear smart clothes. Internally he seeks the facade of a pleasant personality.'.........Mother Basilea 

 'I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.'

 Most times you can find a sincere church in rural areas. Jaded city living are spawning selfish people ignorant to the consequences of being indifferent to human suffering. At a country church they take care of their own; tending to each other providing an inner circle of love. Big city churches don't care bout individuals, only the abundance of conspicuous consumption. Some that claim to be temple of God and have a friggn starbucks and mini malls in them? God gets His coffee at star bucks? The rest of us, Moses and Aaron included, get wal-mart folgers. If God liked starbucks so much he would have put a good café latte recipe in exodus when they needed some motivation and a kick in the spiritual behind to get them the literal hell out of Egypt. What is up with that?

If we could just turn a few of the deacons to expel the money changers, abruptly dismantle those profit centers with righteous indignation. The people that sell this stuff(exploit God) for personnel profit cement their feet firmly in hell. Some target teens heavily, shameful. Those who choose vanity over God imperil their soul. Pry for their deliverance.
