Re: Come Out Of Her My People

IF you can find and attend a church whose sincere purpose and mission is focused on Jesus, that is a wonderful thing, and I believe there must still be those type churches out there.

But for every church that has the real heart of Jesus at their core, there are a hundred whose main focus is not about Christ, but more about a building, a program, a financial obligation, a social event, a preacher, a worship team... and on the list goes etc...

If there is a ministry or a church whose heart is such as John the Baptist... i.e. "I must decrease, but HE must increase"... that is the kind of church to be a part of. But when a church becomes all about who is the pastor, how great the worship team is, or what kind of building program is going on, and so on the list goes... I would not be interested in being a part of such a place.

Finding a church or a ministry that truly has an "I must decrease" heartbeat... now that is the challenge. That is why home churches are appealing to those who are tired of the shows that go on in so many of the churches today, and less of that is dealt with in a home church setting.

Home churches are not perfect, not by any means... but they are far better than going nowhere at all... or being a part of a church who has a "please me" mindset.
