A friend and I got together for dinner tonight to fellowship and discus some things that have been on our hearts and minds since the last time we saw one another. I have been having alot of issues with the church lately, and the apathetic attitudes I see everywhere I turn. I have had conversations with fellow Evangelists and soul-winners over the past few months and one thing that keeps coming up is that it's crazy, and keeps getting crazier...in the church.
I can't say, "What in the world is going on" because I'm not really concerned with the world and what it does. The world is falling apart, getting increasingly corrupt.
But what I find is that the church is absolutely falling apart, and I haven't been able to put my finger on the reason. We put our heads together and came up with some solutions as to why we (my friend, other evangelists, and I) are so much different than others in the churches we worship at.
But one thing is certain, the church is strong, but those which we call the church, or those in our fellowships that are not believers are running the show. When the world influences the church, chaos happens, and one if the reasons I do not believe inviting unbelievers to church to hear the gospel. Church is for the believer to worship God and to strengthen His children.
