I would like to know what other christians think of what is taking place in the church of our Lord Jesus. for many years different denominations have sprung up every where all beliving they have the true church, well here is my belief, I believe Jesus is the head of his church and he placed many leaders over his church,not to fight against one another. but to train and equip the body of christ to come into the unity of faith. To stand against the enemy and to prevail, the bible says no weapon formed against us shall prevail ,and yet every church who disqualifies other churchs for doctrinal issues unrelated to the bible are not in line with the teaching of the head of the church,who said those who are for us connot be against us. we are not in a battle against flesh and blood, and if the churches would remember that there is one body and one church and one Head of that church,then we could focus on the one commission our Lord gave us all .to preach the gospel to all, we need unity in the body .like paul said were you baptised under appollos or paul for that matter?one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, and if you are truly born again then He will fill you with His Holy Spirit who will lead you into all truth . Train them equip them and send them, and let the Holy spirit guide them, Jesus is coming soon we need to be about his business, remember one of uf can put a thousand to flight how many will the whole body of christ put to flight,the only thing that will matter on judgement day is how many were saved and hom many were lost, tears will flow from our saviors face i believe that day because he doesnt wish any to parrish . GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD MAKING DECIPLES OF ALL MEN,THEY THAT BELIEVE WILL BE SAVED THEY THAT DO NOT ARE DAMED ALREADY lets do his work while there is still,time. let me know what you think and God bless . | |

There were no denminations in the early church, the church is the body, the bride of Christ. THE BODY OF CHRIST
We the redeemed are the body of Christ, A people who should certainly put Jesus first, Yet so often we are struggling in a place of defeat, He will buildhis church and the gates of hell won’t prevail against it.
For a body to function it’s members need to worktogether, Yet in the church body we are often competing with oneanother, And we give the enemy a place that is not rightfullyhis, So the body of Christ become so weak and powerless.
Our eyes cannot hear, our ears cannot see, The hand cannot tell the foot how to function, Yet if all those members work together in unity, We like a human body can learn to function.
We have yet to learn to function like the Lordintended, It’s time for us to realize that we should his kingdomextend, He gave us a commission to go out into the world andreach out, Our arms aren’t reaching properly for we haveforgotten what it’s about.
For many of us want to be glued to our pews and therestay, But he asks us to go beyond the walls to take thegospel to the nations, So will we respond to his call and start reaching outtoday? Will we finally take heed and obey the greatcommission?
People are going to a lost eternity because we havestayed quiet, No-one has told them that God loves them and wants tosave them, Many have the wrong idea of God and who can blamethem? For they have looked at us his body who have not shownhis light.
So we need to learn to function as his body andfurther his kingdom, And let the world out there know what it is to havefreedom, For Christ died to set us free yet we behave likethose in captivity, Jesus sets captives free it’s true, he saves, healsrestores and sets at liberty.
We are free to walk the walk of liberty and freedom, Free to fulfil our purposes in his glorious kingdom, Proclaiming the full gospel message to hungry peopleout there, They need our Saviour and it’s time for us to showthat we care.
God’s Word says we will lay hands on the sick and seethem healed, The Holy Spirit came at Pentecost to baptize us andempower us, To do what we the body have been commissioned to do bythe Lord Jesus, So it’s our time to start functioning as a body andsee many saved.
If we will listen to his voice and heed his message, We will see many people reached for Jesus in this dayand age, The eyes will see, the deaf will hear, our arms willreach out, Our feet will step out, the body in unity, living byfaith and not doubts.
And we will be ignited by the fire of the Holy Spirit, As we take our eyes of off self and focus upon Christ, For our function as his body is to live for him alone, And to reach out so that Jesus by others might beknown.
