1 | Explain this to me | Bible general Archive 1 | MikeQQshel | 9379 | ||
Be not troubled - John 12:26 - If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. If you do as the Lord commands then it will be you who is honoured by God. If they reject Christ and the call to serve, it is God who they must answer. Look at how many gave Jesus the excuses not to follow --Luke 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. |

Good word of encouragement. But the fact remains Mormons, Jehovah Witness, and other can motivate their people to get off the pew and out into the world. Why don't Christians have that same type of motivation? Jesus gave us the command to “Go”. Don't we have an obligation to do just that? Jesus said if you love Me you will obey Me. Does this lack of willingness to “Go” speak also of our lack of love for Christ? | ||||||

Greetings EdB! Excellent question and observations in this thread! I have long believed that one reason cults are able to motivate their people more effectively than churches is that they expect more of their people. People want to feel that they are important! So, when a cult demands "big" things of them, they feel like they are accomplishing something. Churches on the other hand, apologize for even expecting people to get up on Sunday morning. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
