VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Making God A Fake ... Again!?!

I Have Yet To Figure Out
How Christian Liberality

And Spiritual Prosperity
Tie Into Worship Experience!

I Think You've Got It Backward!
The Question Should Be
How Does The Worship Experience
Convert To Christian Liberality
And Spiritual Prosperity?!

I Believe You're Both Missing The Big Picture!

What Is A "Worship Experience?!"

Is It Like A Museum Visit?!
Is It Anything Like The Dreaded Work Experience?!
Job Shadowing?!
Heart Surgery?!
Root Canal?!
Childbirth?!
Divorce?!

But All Those Are Things You Experience ... And Move On!

I Believe This Vaunted 

Valued "Worship Experience" Phenomena
To Be Utter Rubbish!

Bite Your Tongue!
We Had One Last Week
And It Was Off The Chain!

Sooo, What Did You Gain?!

Well, Actually ...!
It Was Uh, Ahh ...!
... I Bought A Key Chain!

Lord, Save Your Children!

Don't You People Realize That 

There Is A Mind Game
Being Run Against You
With This Feeling God Worship Experience Nonsense
Called New Church?!

Picture It ...

Mood Lights!
Myriad Camera Angles!
Impressive Sound!
Smoke and Bubble Machines!
Nubile Dancing Girls!
Sound-Bite Preaching!
Intoxicatingly Immersive Music!
The Loving Jesus!
The Blessing Jesus!
The Giving Jesus!
The Touching Jesus
BUT
No Judging Jesus!

There's Even The Social Justice Jesus!
The Political Jesus!
The Match-Maker Jesus!
BUT
No Repent Of Your Sin And Be Baptised Jesus!

There's The God Made A Mistake When He Created You Jesus!
The Change The Bible If It Makes You Uncomfortable Jesus!
The No Need To Forsake Sin And Self Jesus!
The Piggy Bank Jesus!
The Real Estate Jesus!
The Too Blessed To Be Stressed Jesus
AND
The Biggie
The Egyptian Magician Jesus!

Experiencing God
Isn't About What You Feel On Your Skin!
Experiencing God
Is

About The Work
That The Holy Spirit Does Within!

Nobody And Nothing
Can Experience It For You
Because
It Is A Holy Spirit Work
And Not Those Kundalini Spirits
That Make You Behave
Like A Venomous Serpent Done Gone And Stung You!

Preach Brother!
Preach!

I'm Well And Truly Tired Of
The Lord Told Me To Tell You Movement!
The Lord Gave Me To Give You Movement!
The If You Don't Have A Reaction You Ain't A Real Christian Movement!
The God Gotta Save Us All Because He Made Us This Way Movement!
The I Feel De Spirit Move In Me So Jesus Sent It Movement ...!

... But, Wait!
Haven't They Read That
One Must "Test" The Spirits!?!

Test What!?!
They're Not Into Tests!
They're Into Experience!

They Must Not Have Heard That
Experience Kills!

If They Haven't

Then I Strongly Suggest They Should "Ask" Israel!

Israel Wittingly, Willfully, Chose 

To "Experience" Other Nations' Gods
AND

Many Of Them Experienced Death For Their Trouble!
They Didn't Die To Live Again
Because They Are All Well And Truly Forever Damned!

I Hear You!!

Straight And Narrow Is The Way To Life!
Step Off The Path
And Step 'Pon A Sharp Knife!
Ignore De Warnings
And Soon You Will See
Someone Else's Experience
Should Your Teacher Be
Just Because
- Truth Be Told -
The Life-Lesson Learned Second-Hand Is Always Pain-Free!

Indeed!

We Live In The Desert Of Sin
ANDWe Should Plainly Trust The Living God Of Grace
With Whom We Say We are Walking!
He Has Already Proved His Worth
So

• Follow His Lead
• Accept That There Will Be Challenges
• Willingly Accept Them As A Given 
• Believe The Word Sent
• Walk Forward With Intent
• Lean On The Faithful Guide
• Do Not To Ravening-Wolf Roaring-Lion Magazine Subscribe
• Receive Good From The Holy Hand
• Recognize Your Need

AND

• Let Him Design The Lay Of Your Land!

Brethren,

Let Us Pray Faithfully
AND
Faithfully Proceed
ANDDo Not To The Naysayers
Any Good Ground Concede
Even If It Means
Your Blood Will Be Seed
Because
For A Harvest To Be Had
A Seed Has To Die
BUT
In The Day Of Harvest
The Production Number
Can't
Won't
Lie!

Let Me Tell Y'All Something ...

It Ain't No Worship Experience
That The Congregation Needs!
It Needs To Get Into The Lab Of Salvation
AND

Engage With Hands-On Courses
In Free Grace
In Available Mercy
In Confession
In Repentance
In Walking Holy
In Working In Faith For Christ's Kingdom
In Doing Good
In Pursuing Righteousness
ANDIn Doing All The Needful Necessary

The Shepherd Of Rest
The Great God Of The Forever Blessed!

Wow!

Aren't You Glad You Got That Off Your Chest!?!

I'd Be More Than Glad
If You Would Study
AND
Show Yourselves ... Approved
Before Almighty God!

It's Time That You Stop Cavorting In The Popular Pastimes Church! 

It's Time For You To Walk Out Of The Itching Ears Temple! 

ANDIt's Time That You Get Out Of Bed With The Gross Fraud
AND
Into A Real Relationship With The Living Holy God!

Deed And Faith!
None Ah We Ain't Got Nuh Tomorrow's Put Down!

Look At The Signs!
See The Deceitful Wonders Being Performed
In The Church
AND KNOWJesus Christ 

Is

Coming Real Soon!

People, Get Your Houses In Order! 

This Ain't No Time

On The Shoals Of Life To Flounder!

Satan Is A Bold, Base, Bounder

So

Take Jesus Christ

And

Trust At His Holy Word

And

With Him

You Shall Range The Great Blue Yonder!

WHAT DO YOU SAY OF THESE THINGS? - Worship Experience and Gospel Explosion?!!

The Billboard Read:

Come to Church 
for a 
Worship Experience!

There Will be 
a 
Gospel Explosion!

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!

Jump  Up and Wave

Experience Spirits and Riches Crave

Plants Seeds and Get Paid

Is Not ... Christ's Christianity!
