I had a lil' cold so that I did not make it out today!
Mabel! Let me tell you something! I did not go to our Church today. I went visiting with Clarice and, Lord have His Mercy, tha' Church did hot! And not in a good way either!
Gracious, Patsy! What happen! Nobody ain' dead, nuh?!
No, no, nothing like that!
Well, Mabel, don't keep me in suspense! What happened?
Well, you know how Clarice is, right? Always out there looking, or as she likes to say: "Looking for the best way to find God!" Well, me and Clarice went down to the Crosswise Ways Church and Missions To Meet Jesus in Glory, Inc., Established April 1, 2015!
You kidding, right!
No! I kid you not! Me and Clarice went in and Girrrrrllllll, it was on!
On!?! What do you mean?!
Well, the Church was rammed! No room to move about and the music in there was better than in any dance hall I ever went to in my former days!
Mercyyyyyy!
Well, when the people were up into a frenzy, the Pastor tell them to speak in tongues!
What foolishness you talking? No Pastor can initiate talking in tongues! I thought that was the realm of the Holy Spirit?
Well, girl, that is when things went south, and in a hurry! People started screaming in some fancy languages, and using some words that made my skin crawl!
Patsy, what ignorance you really saying?
Girl, come inside here let me show what the Holy Bible say about talking in tongues!
Mabel yells through the side window for Clarice ...
Clariiiice!
Clariiiiiiiicceeee!
Yeaaaaaaaah!
Clarice, come over here right now!
Wha' happen?! I coming! I coming! Let me turn off the stove!
Clarice Appears In the side door ...
What you calling so hard 'bout!? Somebody dead?
No, Ms. I-Am-Looking-Every-Which Way-To-Find-God! Nobody ain' dead!
Clarice, what wrong with you? You keep looking for God but you seem to be going further and further away from Him! What you doing carr'ing Patsy to that Cross-Up House of Bedlam?! You should know that Almighty God is a God of Order - not confusion!
Sit down! You Know That Place Is Just Wrong ! Even The Name Is Wrong!
Whe'e Jesus Say He Is Goin' Meet He Peoples?
He Said In The Air! We - Still Living And The Used To Be Dead - Are Going To Him In The Air! De Deads Gine Rise Firs'!
So how come that "church" you insist upon frequentin' got that wrong name plaste' all ovah de place?!
You ain't got no mo' sense than a three-leg chick'n! ... And you does make me forget that I knows how to speak The Queen's English!
Uh hmmm ...!
When The Good Lord poured out His Spirit on His Apostles, they spoke in tongues aka other languages, and there were amongst those assembled, persons who could clearly understand what was being spoken!
Was there anyone in that madhouse who could interpret what was being spoken?
Why was the multitude speaking all at once?
And what was up with all the technicolor language that Patsy said that she heard being uttered?
Well ...?!
I, I, ahhmmm ...!
Has the cat taken possession of that red rag in your mouth called a tongue?!
A Profound silence is felt ...
Clarice Imelda Wilhelmina Eugenia Williams used to be Payne!?!
Oh, dear, Lord! The full name! I now know that I really in trouble!
What In The Name Of All That Is Holy is wrong with You?!
Haven't you learned anything from your travels in all these fancy places that you attend "church!?!"
Jesus Christ Is Simple, Gentle, Meek, True, Loving, Merciful, And Freely Available To All Seekers, and does not request that you give what you do not have to receive the Free Blessings Of Heaven!
Almighty God cannot Lie because Almighty God is not a Man!
All that the Living Eternal Holy God wants from you is your Faith, Belief, Love, Trust, Obedience and YOUR WHOLE HEART!
The Big Question Jumped Out ...
Why are you running after Shadows ... that seem to have talons!?!
Every new church you end up in always cost you something! When are you going to learn!?!
You keep running after The Lord Jesus Christ and, yet, you can't seem to come to a decision about what it is that you expect to receive from Him!
Sniffff ...!!
Ease up, Mabel! You mekking she cry!
She should indeed be crying! This nonsense has gone on long enough!
The Lord Christ says, simply:
Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor
And I, Jesus Christ
- The Only One Righteous -
Will Give You Rest!
He went on further to say to anyone willing to listen and learn:
Take My Yoke Upon You
And Learn Of Me
For I Am Meek And Lowly In Heart ...!
... And for the Grand Finals ...!
... You mean Grand Finale!
Same difference!
He said:
.. And You Shall Find Rest Unto Your Soul!
Clarice, You're running all about and I know you don't rest, neither your body nor your soul!
Isn't it time for you to come to the conclusion of your search into Spiritual Matters!?!
I Know! It's just that I sometimes think that if I choose one church I might miss out on something exciting in another!
When will get it into your head that serving The Lord Jesus Christ is not about hot and sweaty feelings and het up emotions!?!
Serving The Living God requires Reasoning Skills and the exercise of Faith, Trust, Love And Obedience and Willing Wise Worship!
We make our decision for Christ on solid Facts and not the Fantasy artfully sketched and colorfully painted by Overwrought Emotions!
Emotion-Based Worship needs more and more Exciting even Thrilling Emotions to maintain the present belief, and if you keep up this nonsense, you're going to find yourself Indulging in activities too shameful for even you to give voice unto!
I know that you are not ignorant of The Word Of The Living God so let me ask you this:
What is The Power Of Truth!?!
The Power Of Truth is to Transform one's Life and Character!
By beholding we ...!
... Become Changed!
Faith ...!
... Comes by hearing The Word Of God!
Are you really hearing The Word Of Almighty God in all of these different churches you are so avidly attending!?!
I, uh, ahhmmm ...!
Translation: No!
Clarice, I Love You! We Love You but Jesus Loves You More ... and for Eternity!
Please give up this Loose Goose Chase ... Jesus Christ is very near to all who search for him Truthfully!
I am certain that you know that we Cannot Conform or Transform Jesus Christ to our Rotten self-serving ways or to our Sinful character!
I know! I know! We are transformed, regenerated, to be like The Holy Jesus!
Please Help Me! Will you all please Pray for Me!?!
My Mouth Just Simply Dropped Open! My Heart did a Flip Flop! And I said to My Self: "Lord Almighty, I Sincerely Hope Not!" I had Always Believed that I went to Church to be Healed! I Obviously did not Understand that it was a place to have my Senses Tickled and Teased! They spoke of all The Feelings that would be Experienced on my Skin But I, what I really Need is to Feel Jesus Christ Within!
What's Wrong With Christianity Today?
Churchianity
and
Preachertainment!
The Church Building is a Production Facility! The Sanctuary is The Sound Stage! The Preacher - as Entertainer - is The Star of The Show! Opening Acts of "Worship" Dancers and "Anointed" Singers Set The Mood! The Congregants are The Paying Public! Tithes and Offering are Box Office Takings, and Almighty God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit are Popular Freaks in The Side Show! Jesus said: "I Am come to seek and to save that which was lost ...!" Preachertainer says: "Lost! You haven't got any reason be lost! You do love Jesus, don't you?! Then ... You Can't Be Lost!"
Jesus said: "Repent!" Preachertainer says: No need to "repent" like those Sinners in the World!" God made you that way! You are just being who God made you to be! You are not hurting anybody! Plant a Seed, and just move along - it will all work out at the end!"
Jesus said: "Confess your sin. I am Faithful and I will forgive you!" Preachertainer says: "Sin is just ... well ... subjectively objectively subjective! (You know he is a liar! ... And he is calling God a liar in double-speak!) To Sin is to be Human! God knows you love Him! God knows you, and He loves you no matter what you do! He sees you and He knows your weaknesses, so it's all good! Just keep praying and repenting, and paying your pledges, and it will all work out!" N.B.: If something is Objective it is Fact! - Almighty God calls Sin by its True Name! If something is Subjective is is Opinion! - Our Reclassifying Sin Doesn't Change God's Designation!
Based on the foregoing, can we say that The Popular Pastors, Priests, Teachers and Prophets of today, are au fait with The Oracles (Word) of God? Can we say that The Popular Pastors, Priests, Teachers and Prophets of today understand that The Oracles (Words) of God are alive and are not to be interpreted according to Man's own choosing? Can we say that these Men and Women of The Cloth are True Shepherds, sincerely seeking after the Salvation of Men's Souls, and that they are teaching and preaching the Undiluted, Unadulterated, Unvarnished, Unbiased Word of The True and Living God?
When Jesus Christ was upon Earth, never once was it told anyone to come and EXPERIENCE God! Never once in The Holy Scriptures are we told to come see The Gospel a/k/a The Good News EXPLODE! If this is all true, why is it that this Laodicean (Luke-warm) Church that Jesus Christ, Himself, PROMISES to spit out of His Mouth, deem it totally relevant, and a prescription, that this Church - totally offensive to God - make itself and it's works seem Rich, needing nothing from God, when it is abysmally poor in Spirit, with its shame nakedly exposed, and its nakedness shamefully laid bare, and is blinded by the accoutrements of corporeal complicity, and waxing fat, and gross on gain-saying gold!? If we are truthful, we will see that this Church Age is pontifically pitiful, and positively putrid in its preaching for profit and praise!
