Correcting With Love…
My wife and I once visited a Hispanic church for about a month. While attending the Sunday’s services I noticed that the pastor was also the worship leader. They sang for about 35 minutes, some announcements, passed the plate and he preached for about 30 minutes. The preaching was always about the God of love and promises to proper our lives. I asked to meet with him on a Monday for lunch. We met in the church so he can have home court advantage. My questions was simple. How come you don’t preach what Jesus, Peter, Paul and John the Baptist preached? Repentance of sins! Heaven and Hell? His answer was; well, I know they are all saved, so why preach about hell and repentance. I said, can I borrow your Bible? He said, sure. Then I went to the gospels where Jesus preached about repentance of sins, and hell and was about to tear the pages off when he stopped me. He said, what do you think you are doing? I told him, well, you don’t preach about it, so why have in inside your Bible. I dint tear the pages off. I gave him back his Bible. Shook his hand, thank him for meeting with me and I left. The word of God is what convicts. and corrects errors through human agencies. God corrected me very hard and humbled me to the lowest point. That’s the purpose of correction. It hurts your ego and pride so you can now share the truth and serve Him. Amen

Reading this reminds me of Ephesians 3:10 - the multifaceted wisdom of God may be made known through the ekklesia ... It is necessary for every believer to have a voice, because God has given us each different areas to focus on. As we all speak what God has placed on our hearts, everyone is encouraged. We must have this type of balance.... you have exposed a weakness that exists in most churches.
Ekklesia vs Church
Business institutions under a 501C3 who avoid taxes. They can’t preach the truth, and walk the fence. Jesus said, give Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God. Basically, pay your taxes to government and be a cheerful giver and help who God commanded us to help in Scripture. God has appointed Kings and Rulers according to His will to fulfill His plan. Romans 13:1 "For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God,"

@Rick Gimenez you too brother!
Make me weaker…
Everyday that passes I get weaker. My only prayer to My Lord, and my Savior is for Him to increase my weakness and keep there. To humble me and show me that I am nothing and can’t do nothing without Him. Grasp this, everyone is going to die one day. The strong, the wise, and the weak. Everything we do according to the flesh is going to burn. We must live for Christ and in Christ everyday until He calls us into His presence. May the Lord Jesus Christ give you His Peace, His Mercy and His Love. Amen.

Let's seek a reward at His return rather than riches and comfort in this life!
Genesis 6
How about where it says the sons of God saw the daughters of men and took them for wives and it's widely interpreted as angels and thats not the word used. Whereas in the scripture in Hebrew there is no validation for that. Nothing says the word giants in Hebrew either. All over the place scripture calls the sons of God those who know God especially through Yeshua. Hebrews challenges that theory by saying when does God call any of his angels his son. I can go on but you know the deal.

People are looking for monsters but the real problem is the flesh!
This is man’s all…
And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all. Ecclesiastes 12:12-13 Let’s not fall into many distractions by trying to find every answer. When we are with the Lord, we will instantly know all the things we think we know. Preaching to myself here as my investigative mind is always running… In the meantime, FEAR THE LORD AND OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. Live for Christ, help one another, comfort one another, pray for one another, edify one another, visit the widows, and orphans, feed and clothes the poor. Be a servant of Christ. The reward comes with HIM. May the love, peace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
