Revelation 2:1-5, “Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”
What I find so intriguing is that most churches today don't even hate evil. They don't expose false prophets. They don't do anything escept play church Sunday after Sunday. They might do some good works, giving out handouts to the needy and helping folks randomonly, but there is no contending for the faith. Nor do they go soulwinning. The church that I just described is WORSE than the church at Ephesus. If the Lord was frustrated with the church at Ephesus, I can only imgine how Jesus feels about today's pathetic churches across America.
Having said that, if we are not careful the church can actually become a type of inoculation which keeps us from walking with God and growing in grace. God never intended for the church to keep us spiritual. God never intended for the pastor to become our sole source of truth. What if your pastor is incompetent theologically? What if he is actually preaching the Devil's lie of Lordship Salvation? We need to be as the noble Bereans in the Bible, who searched the Scripture daily on their own, to verify if the things they heard taught were actually biblical (Acts 17:10-11).
Please don't allow Sunday morning worship at church to become your coffin.
The local church was intended by God to be a "called out assembly" (Greek: ecclesia) of saints for the purpose of encouragement, comfort, edification and to build up families; not a mere place of worship. We are supossed to worship God 10,080 minutes a week. It is also the job of the church to carry out The Great Commission.
I heard a pastor a couple years ago teach his congregation that it is NOT the church's job to go soulwinning. He said it is our individual responsibility as saints to go soulwinning. That is wrong! If a pastor doesn't organization, teach, schedule and lead his people to go soulwinning, IT WON'T GET DONE! Pastor Jack Hyles was so right, "The most important job is the one that doesn't get done." The job of soulwinning is not getting done nowadays, because pastors have slacked off and no longer want to do it. They don't teach, organize of schedule a time each week for the church to go knocking on doors.
All across America every Sunday congregations meet to honor, glorify and worship God; but the truth is not preached. Instead a false plan of salvation is propagated of Lordship Salvation and Wrong Repentance. The falsehood of Zionism is promoted, leading the churches into the Devil's New World Order. Those churches use the Devil's fake Bible revisions, which all attack Jesus' deity and pervert the biblical meaning of repentance, thus corrupting the Gospel of free grace by adding works to it.
It is the apostate lukewarm Sunday morning worship across the United States, which has sadly inoculated Christians from contending for the faith, go door to door soulwinning, reject Zionism, reject Satan's corruptible seed, run Bus Ministries and become "hot" for Jesus Christ. A "hot" church has soulwinning saved members (Luke 8:15). A "hot" church earnestly contends for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3; Titus 1:9-14).
The local church is one's surrogate family. I live alone in Pensacola. I have no family here. So, the local church is the only family that I have. They are special to me, not just because they are my kin in Christ, but also because they are the only family I have in Pensacola; and I am their family as well. I wish more churches would embrace people with this attitude, rather than quickly showing people the door for every little reason.
Truly, Sunday morning worship is the greatest hindrance to revival today. Nothing is going to change until we stop hiding behind our organized religion, and start walking with God in our private lives. When Peter and John walked with Jesus, they became bold to TELL THE TRUTH (Acts 4:13). I have boldly preached THE TRUTH against the apostate Bob Jones University cult since 2014, for which I was forced out and banned from attending the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam.
Sunday after Sunday most Baptist pastors go through the motions of playing church. No false prophets are exposed by name. No false doctrines are exposed. Lordship Salvation is not shunned. Wrong repentance is either taught, or not shunned. So the people (for the sheep that they are) believe eevry word and go unfed, malnourished. That is not to say that the pastor doesn't preach some great sermons. I have heard pastors preach excellent sermons week after week, but they don't warn their people about anything, except people like me who TELL THE TRUTH! Thus, they are bad pastors, at ease on Zion, complacent and indifferent.
Don't get me wrong, I love local churches. I love gathering for fellowship with my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. We need each other. If we don't pray for one another, God knows that no one else is going to do it. I love congregational singing, piano hymns, Bible preaching, offerings and invitations. The church on its worst day is better than the world on its best day. We need local New Testament churches.

The Apostle Paul in Acts 20:20 had, "a believer's 20/20 vision." ๐๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ:๐ฎ๐ฌ-๐ฎ๐ญ, “๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐ ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ณ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐, ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ด๐ต๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐น๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ต๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ, ๐ง๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ต ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ธ๐, ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐.” Paul went doot to door preaching the Gospel of free grace. That is the BEST way to build a church. Soulwinning takes work. Going door to door soulwinning requires laborious work, but soulwinning builds churches!!!

A "hot" church has soulwinning saved members (Luke 8:15). A "hot" church earnestly contends for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3; Titus 1:9-14).
A "hot" church unconditionally loves and cares about people, not just repentant sinners or their voted-in members (Jude 1:22). I am so tired of local churches treating non-official members as third party guests. If you are a born-again child of God, you are a member of the Church, whose foundation is Jesus Christ!
The local church is one's surrogate family. I live alone in Pensacola. I have no family here. So, the local church is the only family that I have. They are special to me, not just because they are my kin in Christ, but also because they are the only family I have in Pensacola; and I am their family as well.

I have been sadly banned from attending Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College for critiquing them. They deserve it! It didn't matter to their pastors and leaders that I apologized multiple times the next year in 2022, they are playing God with people's lives and wickedly refuse to reconcile with me. Since they still have the 9,999 sheep, they couldn't care less about the 1 lamb in need (me). PCC is a religious cult, a shameful disgrace to the cause of Jesus Christ, abusing whomever they want in their sinful huge wicked pride, egos and arrogance.
PCC are in trouble with God, a perfect example of dead Christendom today. PCC go through the superficial motions of playing church Sunday after Sunday, sporting with religious politics, raking in tens of millions of dollars, but they couldn't care less about INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE. That is why they won't allow me to come back to their Campus Church. What hateful people!!! I can name a handful of local churches that idolize PCC, defending them to the hills, no matter how wrong they are. That is wickedness, not the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is also why I was driven out by mistreatement and then banned from returning to PCC's Campus Church. PCC are in bed committing spiritual whoredom with Harvest Baptist Church on Gaum and BJU. PCC's leaders are wicked, compacent, indifferent and compromised. They have disgustingly become ecumenical, both BJU and PCC. Birds of a feather flock together!
On harvest's KHMG 88.1 FM radio station on Guam, they have Pastor Jeff Redlin;s name listed and they play his toxic sermons throughout Micronesia.

These are wicked religious people who are WRONG on repentance, and therefore WRONG on the Gospel. Jeff Redlin has blood on his hands (2nd John 1:11). Pastor Gary Walton at Harvest has much blood on his hands. These religious clowns all preach the Devil's lie that repentance means to forsake a sinful lifestyle to get to Heaven, which is wrong. I am the sworn enemy of PCC and BJU because they are enemies of a free grace Gospel. BJU uses, sells and promotes multiple different Bible versions, including the New American Standard Bible (NASB), and the English Standard Version (ESV). BJU have much blood on their hands for promoting Satan's corruptible seed.

The vast majority of so-called "Christian" churches today merely have churchianity without Christianity. What we have today in most churches is Cotton Candy Religion, that is, it tastes good at first but then quickly dissolves into nothing. America is literally spiritually dying. Our nation is dying for a lack of preaching preachers, who cry aloud without apology or compromise against sin and spare not (Isaiah 58:1).
I cannot remember the last time I heard a Baptist pastor preach hard against the sins of fornication, adultery, abortion, public nudity, Hollywood, stealing, dishonoring parents, et cetera. The average Baptist pastor doesn't preach on the subject of Hell once every two years. Is it any wonder why young people today have abandoned churches? Young people are smart. They know fraud when they see it. Today's pastors are impotent, yuppie, Caspar Milquetoast type cowards, afraid to say it like it is against the evils of feminism, aboriton, LGBTQ perversion, government corruption and other forms of prevalent wickedness.
Young people are drawn to Rock stars because those singers are energetic, exciting and speak their minds. In sharp contrast, your average Baptist preacher today is a Clark Kent looking nerd, an incompetent idiot who is afraid to offend people, only interested in getting paid. I wouldn't want anything to do with that foolishness either!
Say what you will about Pastor Steven Anderson, but he has an army of followers. On any given Sunday their church averages 400 people. Young people either love or hate him, because everyone knows where he stands on the issues. Although I don't agree with all his methods or teaching, I respect and love Brother Anderson because the guy is 100% real. What you see is what you get! Young people want a preacher who is real, not a phony.
Nothing is hurting the cause of Jesus Christ today like dead churches—theologically incomperent pastors, uncaring congregations, superficially playing church, et cetera.
