Does it make sense?
Does it make sense to cut your self out of church because there are hypocrites in church or "devils"? Let’s look at this logic:
-people abuse over the counter medicine, yet people don't cut that out of their lives because others abuse it.
-what about going to work, there are a lot of lies, cussing, perverse conversation and back biting that goes on there but we don't quit work.
-what about our tongues? With all the filthiness that comes out of the majority of people but you don't see people cutting off their tongues.
-how about other parts of our anatomy? People fornicate and commit adultery and all kinds of sexual immorality yet no one is cut that out of their lives or off their bodies.
So why is it when things happen at church that people are so quick to cut church out their lives? As Chad had stated earlier that the church is there for people to get right and to let God change them and shape them into the image of Christ. That means that these are not perfect people, they are human beings that seek to change (at least that's what is suppose to happen). But because of the lack to confront sin, the church has lost the effectiveness that it used to have because the leaders are allowing sin to continue in the church instead of dealing with the issues at hand. If all we are looking for is a large comfortable church that teaches good moral lessons. Then we'll miss out on what God really wants to do in His people...more personally YOU.
Don't let other people's actions dictate your decision to live for God. You need to find a church that will deal with sin and lead people to make a sound decision to pursue after God and His standards
Makes sense?
