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

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,"

@David Doty thanks you brother.
Always Be Ready
Timothy 4:2 which commands, "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching," meaning to share God's message faithfully and urgently, whether convenient or inconvenient, always prepared to teach, correct, and encourage. Our duty is to share the truth no matter the cause. Have a blessed and peaceful day. Amen.

I had a pastor friend that went from Baptist to casting demons from born again believers, which is nonsense. Even the demons are not that stupid to try to possess a Holy Spirit filled born again believer in Christ. But they misinterpret Matthew 15:21-28 and keep unsaved Christians in bondage everyday Sunday in their deliverance session. Deliverance ministries often use the phrase "children's bread" (from Matthew 15:21-28) to assert that freedom from demonic oppression and torment is an inheritance for believers, a spiritual inheritance from Jesus, not just for unbelievers; they see it as part of God's provision for His children, contrasting it with pagan practices like sorcery and emphasizing salvation and Holy Spirit filling as foundational, though they often focus heavily on casting out demons for believers. While some argue deliverance is for the unsaved, many Pentecostal/Charismatic groups believe it's a vital part of a Christian's ongoing spiritual walk, breaking generational curses, trauma, and unconfessed sin.

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.

I was blind as a former pastor with man made doctrines but through the gospel of Jesus Christ I was born again and His truth has set me free. Amen.
