Church is a dangerous game

Churches play games. They entertain people instead of leading them to a relationship with Jesus. Church attendance does not bring us closer to God. There is only one thing that will matter when we stand before the throne of God: Does Jesus know me?

The real church is the body of Christ. Those who belong to Christ and live in a constant relationship with Jesus are part of the real church. They worship Him day and night and never let up on their devotion to Jesus. They are constantly in prayer seeking His will and listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit in their hearts.

Church organizations are a diversion, captivating souls unto service to the organization. The wolves in the pulpit rob the poor sheep in the pews and exploit them to their own advantage. They are hired hands, serving the organization and ruling over the flock, promising them a salvation of which they themselves have no part – they are fakes, cheats and liars, extortionists.

Jesus Himself is the good Shepherd, His sheep know His voice and they follow Him. He Himself appoints servants to care for His sheep, to feed them and put them to pasture. His sheep know His voice and they listen to Him, they will not follow a stranger. They will run away from the strangers because they do not recognize his voice. Few there are, who know His voice.

Wake up and discern: Do you know the voice of the Shepherd and follow Him or are you happy to be entertained by the wolves?
