Bible Verse of The Day – 3-31-17

1 Samuel 2:2 (NKJV) 2 “No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.

Some Churches have become more about money than about how many souls we can reach. There is more focus on how many members we have than on God’s purpose and plan for that area. The music has become more like a modern rock concert than a time of worship and adoration toward God.

It’s not hard to figure out why the attendance numbers in churches have dropped. These types of things that have become established in the church will not help anyone. People come to the church to find answers, learn the truth, get help and find guidance to help them get on the right path.

None of these things will help with that.

This is about selfish ambition, greed, and pride. And it has become a big problem. How do we fix this?

We turn back to our first LOVE and allow Him to set our priorities straight.

When hearts get off the right track, it can mess things up big time. It takes some work and time to get it back on track again. It doesn’t mean everything will be back to where it was before. We may have lost some good things along the way. But, we can’t give up.

Today, the church as a whole needs prayer. It starts with praying for our leaders, our Pastors. If our leaders need help, they need to act responsibly and take time away to get with God. Let Him direct them to good Godly counsel that can help them through it. It’s not good to keep trying to steer the ship when the rudder is broken. Pull off and get it fixed.

Our heart cries out for the body of Christ today, especially for those that are sitting under a struggling leader. Pray that God will help us get back on track, back to the simplicity of His purpose and plan for the church.

Money can’t buy love. Fame can’t bring us peace, and entertainment is not the JOY that brings us the strength we need each day.

We need God’s simplicity back in the church today. He is our ROCK and our foundation!
