As 2005 comes to a close and 2006 is to begin, here are a few words
for thought.
When picking a church to settle in, every christian should ask a
few very fundamental questions:
- can you see God's hand in appointing the leaders or the leaders
appointing themselves? Know that the Lord did warn us in Matt
13:1-2, 5-6, 21-23 about false "christian" prophets appearing and
performing signs and miracles to deceive.
- if you can't see God's hand in it, who/what are you really
worshipping?
- are you sure you're donating and building Christ's or someone
else's empire?
- how are the church leaders livelihood different from those
recorded in Scripture?
- what is it about the church that makes you go worship? Does it
sound similar to what the disciples said in Matt 13:1? What kind of
church pleases the Lord?
What displeases him?
Be a wise Berean christian and be on your guard (Matt
13:5,23).
