When did we forget?
This post may make you mad... I apologize for that in advance but I feel like it needs to be said... I hear so many ppl call themselves Calvinist, Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Pentecostal, and so forth... I feel like this is so pathetic! When did we forget that we are Christians? Followers of Christ! Now don't get me wrong... I don't think its horrible to ask/tell others what denomination you are but when the main focus is about what denomination you are and not on the fact that we are Followers of Christ & in this thing together there is something wrong! Now the biggest problem with this is how when we have our minds set on our separate denomination we miss out on truly being the body of Christ! We as believers are called to the same ultimate thing and that is found in Isaiah 42 “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles,7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness." And yet we get so comfortable in our own little building where WE GET ALL SPIRITUALLY FAT HEADED ON OUR THRONES OF SELF SATISFACTION! And its absolutely ridiculous! Everyday ppl are dying and going to hell and we just sit around as to say "Who Cares..." I'm not trying to just beat you down but what I am doing is calling us all to action! There are so many churches and so many lost ppl yet we fight for the ones who are already in the seats... There is something wrong with this picture... Why not work together instead of against... Its not easy for me as a Christian... Its a daily struggle... And I know I'm not the only one! We all need support, Encouragement, & Accountability... When was the last time you asked someone how their Relationship with Christ was doing? I don't remember the last time someone asked me... And this is sad... I don't ask others as much as I should either so I'm not just getting on you! We all have those areas we need to work on! But let's take this one very serious! Your Fellow brothers & sisters need you! They need your friendship and your love... More ppl then you know drop out of the ministry everyday & I think that if we just gave some encouragement & started to Love them as Christ Loves us the number would be much different! I Love You Guys! Encourage & Be Encouraged! God Bless!

It seems you place a lot of emphasis on what's wrong, than bringing out the good things, that are happening. The tone gives off a fear in a sense, because people scramble to think that they are in a hurry, or that times running out. I don't disagree with what your saying, but the it sounds very nit picky and loses focus on loving those hippocratic people. Jesus wasn't running around, in a hurry to save people or call out slanders. He was hanging out with the low lifes compared to all people. And His followers, followed Him by his open presence, and His love. And the biggest act as Christians that we can do to overcome fear, is Love.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
