I believe it is tim
e for a total reformation of the way the Body of Messiah carries out its business in the earth. There is very little, if any difference between the way the Church operates and its commercial counterparts. We have bought into lies concerning profit from the gospel. We do not take the Word of God seriously, nor do we believe in it, in its entirety. We selectively twist Scripture into our own interpretations instead of allowing the Bible to interpret itself. We give our individual worship preferences higher priorities than Holy Writ. Christians have lost the ability to think critically for themselves in spiritual matters. It seems their Pastor's opinion is more important than the Almighty's. Much of our traditional practice has declined into borderline heresy.
I believe in the Body of Messiah. Scripture says that He (the Messiah) is returning for a church "without spot or wrinkle" (Eph. 5:27). I realize that although we can never be righteous in and of ourselves before our Heavenly Father, we certainly have a responsibility to live according to the grace that has been given to us.
