I wonder how many really want the manifest presence of God? A Continuous and conscious awareness of His holiness and righteousness, a fearful expectation of judgement when they do wrong. Yes He is abounding in love and slow to anger, but He chastens those whom He loves and scourges every son whom He receives.
And scourging is painful!
What many believers need today is repentance and obedience to the word of God they already know but don't practice!

Well, of course believers who are not practicing the Word need to get busy being a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.
but when I said "the people need a church" I meant that the lost need to encounter the true living church of the true living God in whose midst He truly dwells. They don't need a denomination, or a program, or a man made religion. They need the real deal.
Thanks for the input.
