Why Leave Church? - Follow The Story

A youth went to the pastor and said “Pastor, I won't be going to church anymore.”

The pastor responded “But why?”

The youth said “Ah! I saw a sister speaking bad of another sister; a brother that can't read well; the worship team living wrong; people looking at their phone during service;among so many other things wrong in the church.”

The pastor replied “OK. But before you go, do me a favor: take a full glass of water and walk three times around the church without spilling a drop on the floor. Afterwards, leave the church if you desire.”

The youth thought : too easy!

And he walked three times around as the pastor had asked. When he finished he told the pastor he was ready.

And the pastor asked “When you were walking around the church, did you see a sister speaking bad about another sister?”

The youth replied “no.”

“did you see anyone looking at their phone?”

“No”

“You know why?”

“No”

“You were focused on the glass, to make sure you didn't tip it and spill any water. It's the same with our life. When our focus is on our Lord Jesus Christ, we don't have time to see the mistakes of others.”

Stay blessed

Tithing in the Bible - Is Tithing for the New Testament Believer? - Cortni Marrazzo

A few weeks ago Cortni Marrazzo wrote an article called " Why it's Important to Keep Tithing in Tough Economic Times " and, quite frankly, he was surprised by the many follow up comments from Christians who don't believe that tithing is for today. Many expressed the belief that tithing was only done in the Old Testament and thus it shouldn't be a part of a believer's life. Their comments made me wonder: Whether tithing is restricted to the Old Testament or not, is the practice of tithing such a bad thing for today's believer? Let's dive in and look at what the Bible has to say about tithing and more importantly, our heart. What is the Tithe? The word "tithe" comes from an Old English root meaning "one tenth." It is the common English translation for the Old Testament Hebrew asar word group. The tithe was an offering of one's agricultural income to the Lord as an expression of thanks and dedication. In the Old Testament agricu...

Who Decided Which Book Went into the Bible

Just about everyone wants to know how the sixty-six books got chosen to be in the Bible. Why these sixty-six? Why not a few more (or a few less)? Why these books and not others? In Persecution in the Early Church Herbert Workman tells the story of a Christian who was brought before the Roman governor of Sicily during the last great persecution of the church. His crime? Possessing a copy of the Gospels. The governor asked , “Where did these come from? Did you bring them from your home?” The believer replied, “ I have no home, as my Lord Jesus knows .” The governor asked his prisoner to read a portion of the Gospels. He chose a portion of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ” Next he read from Luke: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. ” At this, the judge ordered the prisoner taken away—to his death. Under Roman law new religi...
