"Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered, according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, indeed a church of God.” - John Calvin

Government Takes The Church Property- The last days.
This church took a stand and stood by biblical scripture and broke away from the liberal wing of the Episcopal Church and now must surrender it's property. The True Church of Jesus Christ, is now in a time when it will have to make a decision to stand by the word of God and suffer, or go along with a culture that is anything but Godly. Always keep in mind: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" Ephesians 6:12 CLICK HERE TO READ FULL STORY
Government orders church to hand over worship facilities because it refuses to agree with same-sex marriages and recognize active homosexual monogamous relationships.

Catering To The Consumer Rather Than God
The congregation where God is meeting with His people should bring conviction and a sense of awe -if those who are strangers to the gospel, congregate with His covenant people, who are there to feed from the word of God. Therefore the church looks different because it is different. As His people, the church, lifts up songs and praise that are pleasing to God -as His word is spoken to us through a vessel known as the Pastor. God then is pleased and worship is authentic. Therefore the service should appeal to God rather than human beings. This is what is important- as He meets with us as believers, each week in big and small places revealing the person and work of Christ that is served to us in the message of the Gospel. Those who are visitors are welcomed and loved as they too witness the message of God and experience how worship is given to Him as we welcome them in love and joy. Music can be culturally sensitive and various styles can be incorporated to reach our hearts with gladness and uplifting moods of joy. However the church worship service should never be changed to make humans who are un-saved more at ease with the God of creation who is a consuming fire. For we are apart of His story of redemption through Jesus Christ and we change for Him for He states: "Behold I am God and I change not"
The worship of God, to the natural man, should feel different to an individual as he or she enters the congregation of God's church. That is because

Welcome to the new folks!
We are definitely glad to have you as members of our fellowship and we believe that you are and will be a great asset to the Kingdom of God -as well as our local congregation. I know God has great things ahead for you as instruments for the advancement of His work and for the edification of body of Christ! I truly believe in the importance of church membership -it is what is biblical for believers that claim to be members of the body of Christ. Many in American society and western culture have an individualistic attitude, however American culture takes a back seat to biblical mandates as outlined in the word of God. Scripture not our feelings are preeminent. The Necessity of Church membership (Click Here and Read!)
I want to welcome some more new members to our church that joined this week and say blessings and whole lotta love from me and all the members of the church!

Pray for Muslims Everywhere!
Because this is the message of Jesus Christ that we must pray for our enemies and those that persecute us and say all manner of evil against us. We must show the love of Christ to a world that does not know Him. By showing how He loved even when all manner of evil was done to Him. We must also endure hardship and persecution when evil is done to us. Let us also pray for those being persecuted for the name of Christ as they suffer great loss for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
We must pray for people even when they do not like us or persecute us. WHY?

Why Islamic law like all religious laws can't save or improve mankind
Because humans are not good by nature. (Psa. 14:3-5; Rom 3:10-18) ). Men by their internal make up are at "enmity against God and are not subject to the Law of God" (Rom. 8:7) Only the Gospel of Jesus Christ works to give life to creatures that are "dead in trespasses and sin" and only the supernatural working of the Gospel through the Holy Spirit can supply the power to "obey" Him (Heb. 5:9). Therefore regardless of what "moral law" any society imposes it's futile- simply because they can not and do not want to obey the law of God, or moral laws, or civil laws, etc.. That is why Ezekiel 11:19 points out that God will one day give His people a new heart and take out the stony heart of stone and replace it with a "fleshy" heart that wants to do what God says is righteousness rather than some strange "moral" Islamic law imposed on people with fear and torture. Since the divine intervention of God is real, you don't have to threaten humans with Islamic laws or any other laws to force people to do what is good and moral because when they are "born again" it becomes part of their Christlike nature, to "do the will of Him" that made us. And this happens without the threat of jail.
This video shows a prime reason why the law can't save you and why God does not grant salvation by being good. How come?

Lutherans Doing What They Want to Do
Lutheran Church Abandons Biblical Teaching on Homosexuality
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, different from Lutheran Missouri Synod, has gone the way of the Episcopal Church and completely abandoned the Word of God in regards to behavior and mandates regarding human sexuality as you will see in the video. No surprise- this is what happens in times of church apostasy. They should remove the word "Evangelical" and replace with "Secular" because that's who they represent. What's next? The approval of adult child relationships?
