I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. I have thought about this for a long time but never wrote anything about it. And last night, it was consuming my mind. So here it goes!
In our small town we have so many churches. A good majority of them are good Jesus teaching churches. The thing is, it seems they are all in competition. Why?
Are we not all the church of Christ? We are all God's church. So here is my question, why do they all fight for people in "their" church? Can we not all support each other? I get that pastors need to have people in order to support the church but in doing that, do they have to force you to stay at their church or should they be okay if you want to visit another church.
We went to the fair in town and there was one church represented that is not a Jesus teaching church. I was wondering where all the churches were and then I thought, wouldn't it be great if there was one booth, ONE booth, that had a list of all the great Jesus teaching churches in our area. Maybe highlighting each's strength so people could choose or go to each of them.
~Why cant we all get together and hold events and outreaches?
~If we were all unified and did get together for outreaches, can you imagine the impact?
There are so many churches going overseas to reach to the lost, which is great, don't get me wrong, but I really feel like America is pushing God out and we are losing so many people. Even Christians are being pulled away. There is too much distraction and it is sucking His life away from us. It hurts my heart.
If "His Church" could come together and UNITE, image the possibilities! Imagine your city, your state, our America!!! If Americans could put Christ first instead of technology, instead of hate, instead of entitlement, instead of money, IMAGINE!!!
