Acts 29 Today

Hi and welcome to another edition of ACTS 29 TODAY.

Before we dive into the subject of how the Church has gotten to the place it is today, I want to just share a few things to set this all up. I just want to take a historical look at how we got to this place that we call church, and the practices that we take for granted as Biblical, Scriptural, and acceptable.

So before we start that I just wanted to say this first.

The Bible says in Jude 1:4

THE PROBLEM

Herein lye’s a great problem, these people come in and NO ONE SEEMS TO NO THEIR THERE…… To the point of denying Jesus Christ.

My point today is simply this….if the CHURCH ( THAT IS…THE BODY OF CHRIST…NOT THE BUILDING ) would go to the WORD OF GOD and read the book, The Holy Spirit would take that Word which is SPIRIT AND LIFE thus revealing that word to them.

If Gods people ( the Church ) would just read the book verse by verse they would not be so susceptible to the errors of those who have CREPT IN UNAWARE. But sadly today most people don’t even no what the word says….

THAT’S A PROBLEM FOLKS.

Because if we don’t no what the word says….. FOR OURSELVES…..then we will have to take ……..SOMEBODY ELSE’S ……….WORD FOR IT.

THE CREEPER

And what if that somebody else is a CREEPER….!!!!!!!!!!! ( one who crept in ) then we are in trouble.

Case in point….when I was younger and my friend and I would be walking down a country road, sometimes someone would stop and ask us directions. Whether we new the answer or not….we thought it very funny…..to send people on a wild goose chase ( don’t judge me ha ha I have repented ) yea go 2 miles that way turn left and go 5 miles south and etc, etc and then laugh and laugh.

The word of God is the road map, the directions, and the owners Manuel, we don’t take other peoples word for many things in life, NO we check it out for ourselves. We research it and make our own decision on the matter.

But yet with the MOST IMPORTANT THING IN ALL OF OUR LIFE MOST, PEOPLE CHECK THEIR BRAIN AT THE DOOR, WALK IN SIT IN A PEW…..AND LET SOMEONE ELSE TELL THEM HOW THE WHOLE SPIRITUAL WORLD WORKS AND HOW THEY SHOULD LIVE, AND WHAT THEY SHOULD DO, AND WHAT THEY SHOULD GIVE, AND ON AND ON AND ON.

WE HAVE TO GO TO THE WORD FOR OURSELVES….OTHERWISE WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISCERN THE CREEPERS FROM THE REAL DEAL AND WE COULD BE EASILY LED ASTRAY.

ITS UNBELIEVABLE

There are so many things today being taught, preached, and seminared about that are not even close to what GODS word says about things and many have no clue if these things are true or not, its truly unbelievable.

If there were ever a time that we need to no what the road map says, it is now….THIS IS THE WAY TO GO….GO THIS WAY…..IT IS TODAY. The Bible says even the elect would be deceived IF IT WERE POSSIBLE…….. that tells me there is a high level of deception around.

ITCHING EARS

We are in the days of people NO LONGER WANTING OR LISTENING TO SOUND TEACHING, BUT HAVING ITCHING EARS ( WANTING TO HEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR ) GATHER UNTO THEMSELVES TEACHERS THAT WILL TEACH THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR…...EVEN IF ITS NOT TRUE.

Helping people to understand this and disciplining believers in this way will make a huge difference in the body of Christ JUST SAYING….NO….TO ERROR.

Thanks for your time and prayers as this time of transformation and reformation will be a most exciting time as the Church age comes to a close.

And remember…doing nothing….is not an option.
