CHURCH NOT CLUB






‘Today, church was enjoyably interesting;’ what do you mean? Are you implying the pastor entertained the congregation with funny folk tales; or there was a serious Spiritual impact the preaching made in your life?

Don’t turn your Christian assembly into a club; it is never an amusement center; and certainly not a recreation spot, but a life changing Kingdom of God Almighty!

How does the world react to your Christian life? Do some people hate you because you love Jesus Christ so much?

“And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved” Mt 10:22

When your Christian testimony seeks to please men; it will likely displease God! When you continue to remain a slothful believer; the people of the world will surely continue to be comfortable with you!

“If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.” 1Pet 4:14

Do you attend church because it is simply an avenue for meeting with acquaintances? It is better for you to join a club; because I know the church you attend is never one!

Our love for one another should drive us to their homes for genuine love, care and true brotherly expression. Genuine Christianity is never expressed when a member is deceased or when it time celebrations.

Do not fall into the temptation of being good for people to see you only; "But all their works they do to be seen by men…” Mt 23:5

The right Christian service must only be conducted under the supervision of God in Jesus’ Name or else it loses its legitimate benefit and reward!
