You are right ... there are no perfect churches, we are are sinners and selfish. You ask great questions: - How much of the Lord's presence is in the church? It depends on the people. Most of us have other concerns. - To what degree is Jesus Christ being given first place? We talk about careers, children and concerns more than Christ. - Is Jesus really being glorified in this place? No ... because if He was people would come to see the fire (of the burning bush). - Who is really in control, is it the pastor, the deacons, the people, or is it the Spirit of God? It depends on the church … but, I have not seen a true theocracy. People may think He reigns, but I think they base that on feelings, not facts. - Which church do you believe that the Lord is most pleased with? The one who is obedient, in love, faith and hope. -- They love Him first, with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. The love others as they love themselves. -- The live by faith and it grows daily as they study the Word. All three are seen by men, in and out of the church. -- They do not lose the hope, knowing He's working in and through them for the good of all and that He will return. - Are we in the will of God? Usually not … and we have had the opportunity to deny or die for Him. - Are we related to the Body in some way? We are suppose to be. But the eye does want to work with the foot. - Are we allowing Jesus Christ to be Lord of our lives? You mean give up all my rights? We do not have the time. - Are we living for Him or just living for ourselves? Most the latter, we think we have to do so much. I, too, have come across people who refuse correction … even after someone with more religious letters after his name said they were wrong. The Bereans did it to Paul and he accepted it (Acts 17:11). |

This doesn't have to happen in just churches - it is happening right here on the forum. This needs to be corrected. |
