What Could Save the Church Today

                                     What Could Save the Church Today?


      I believe there is one simple phrase that could save the church today and that is “I could be wrong”.

Humility has been lacking in the church for so long that it kills me. I will say this and I want it to be

crystal clear and that is that pride is a cruel master and one of Satan’s greatest tools. We argue far more

than we ever discuss and that I find truly disturbing. Let me tell you Christ is coming back for one bride

not some crazy number in the thousands even more if you count none denominational churches.

      We all pray for healing and want to see God work. I know people who have been given a death sentence

live years past the months they were given. It was by the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit. Who cares

how we believe it comes about we all want to see it and believe that it’s possible. Does any one disagree

that God can heal where, when and how He so chooses? Then why do we let the rest get in the way.

     Let’s touch on an even more sensitive topic and that is spiritual gifts and why and how they do or don’t

function today. When you get right down to it does it really matter as much as we make it out to be? I have

 a friend who isn’t even a friend but a brother who believes slightly differently than I do but we both believe

in Spiritual gifts and that they ageist. Why is it so divisive of an issue today? Does it change salvation, does

it change the power of the Spirit, and does it change the power of the blood onto salvation. Do we really disagree

 on what matters the most? No!!! It’s not that massive of a deal we all believe in Spiritual gifts some disagree

on what ones may be functioning today. I may differ from many who read this but I’m not even going to share my

 stance because I don’t think it matters enough for some one to judge me. Some who know me are going to be

crystal clear on what I believe and the rest can just wonder because that’s how important I think it is.

     Here is another one that we fight like cats and dogs over and that is predestination. Personally I believe that

each and every reader of this piece has earned hell without exception in fact Rom3:23 confirms it, and because

 of that God is sending no one to hell we are doing it on our own. This is a point that is so sourly miss when we

start arguing over this subject. And that for what ever reason in God his infonaut wisdom reaches out to those

He predestined before the world became into being on to salvation. And called us for we had no desire for God.

 If this is a point of conflict to you check out Eph2:1-3. And that is the essence of Eph2:8-9 for me and the definition

 of grace. I am simply spelling out my opiyon put many will disagree and will back there own points with another line

of scripture and I have no problem what so ever just as long as they hold true to the bible and not the reasoning

of man. The point is that from my way of looking at it is I have no way of knowing who the elect are and I have the

 same great commotion than any one ells who may disagree so we are all to spread the gospel of Christ crucified.

My point is we disagree on a point of theology not on the means onto salvation or the mission God has given to all

 of us lets put away the stupid soap boxes we all get up on and put our feet to the pavement so can hold to out true

purpose spreading the gospel. Remember “I could be wrong” and how it could save us as a church body?

      I could go on much longer but I want people to read this. If we can agree Christ died on a cross and rose on the third

 day and salvation is by grace through faith, and that is the gospel than we can unite in a powerful way. Our goal

should be to spread that message through out the world but we are to busy arguing to work together. I want to make

this crystal clear again and that is with humility we should be able to say “I could be wrong” because pride is a terribly

 cruel master and Satan’s greatest weapon against the church today. So let’s unify the church and wage war with the

 devil and not each other. I’ve said more than enough for now, may the Lord bless richly all who read this piece.
