mommapbs: Here are a couple of interesting quotes that address the topic we have been discussing "It’s sad but true that many churches today have turned to recreation and entertainment in an attempt to hold the people, becoming more and more like the world." (source unknown) "We have a lot of markings that look like Christianity these days, but we have drastically revised the parameters. People have lowered the standards in a vain attempt to make churches look more sucessful than they really are. The sermons have to be uniformly positive, and the services can’t go longer than 60 minutes. Even then church is inconvenient for some, especially during football season. Showing up at church is such a burden that soon people will be faxing in their worship. (Jim Cymbala - Pastor of The Brooklyn Tabernacle Church) So I would counter your Ezek. 33:32 with the following 2 verses. Matt. 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. In His service New Creature |

You can't! No one can win the world! "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." John 6:44 Blessings, mommapbs PS: However, there is a way to "gain the whole world" according to Jesus. Consider what we trade for it though! Mark 8:36 |

Amen memmapbs. Something I read in a book by John MacAarthur (Hard to Believe), which I recommend, goes something like this: "as the Father draws them, they hunger; as they hunger, they listen; as they listen, Jesus captures them; as Jesus captures them, He keeps them." Not sure about the accuracy of the quote (or my memory sometimes), but slavation starts and ends with God. - T |

Greetings "T" and welcome to the Forum - AMEN - salvation starts and ends with God. I'm so glad it was HIS idea - just imagine what it would look like if WE were in charge!! (But do keep reading; I suspect you'll catch a glimpse of this "bad idea" from time to time here!) Blessings to you! t |
