The organized church is a graveyard where good souls are suffocated and entombed. The real church, the Body of Christ is alive and vibrant, guided by the Holy Spirit of God. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Body of Christ. Each and every member of His Body is active and fruitful, doing as the Master commands.
The church is full of stiffs, as in the days when Jesus preached. Jesus said: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.’ Mathew 23:27. That also describes the organized church today.
There is no difference between the church goers and the world. They watch the same filth on the TV, have the same interests and participate in the same worldly activities. The are adulterers and fornicators. There is no difference. The church goers may have Bibles but they do not obey what is written in the Bibles. They are hypocrites. Most preachers say: We are all sinners, that they are, on their way to hell.
Serious believers who seek the truth and find Jesus are quickly indoctrinated into the teachings of the church. The church occupies people with activities directed at the expansion and maintenance of the church. It is all done in the name of Jesus, or God. They are suffocated into dead fruitless works and never get into a relationship with Jesus. They become slaves of the church, not disciples of Jesus. They are spiritually dead.
Church members are zombies who sit in pews. They are pumped full of doctrine and knowledge to tranquilize them into slavery, “always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:7. “For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.” Hebrews 5:12. They never grow to maturity, they die as babes.
Those who seek Jesus are quickly branded as trouble makers and they are pushed out. These people either find another graveyard church or some of them start their own.
There is only one way to become a mature man in Christ be fruitful in the kingdom of God. Get out of the grave yard before you die and get into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Listen to His Holy Spirit. Be guided by the Holy Spirit.
Many church Christians have never been born again. They have never really repented of sin and invited Jesus into their hearts. They never experienced the cleansing power of the Holy Spirit, never been delivered from sin and got into a relationship with Jesus.
If you have not really been born again, repent of sin. Plead Jesus for forgiveness and ask Him to cleanse you of unrighteousness. Obey Him and be baptized in water for forgiveness of sins and ask Jesus for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. His Spirit in you will guide you into all righteousness. Continuously seek Him in prayer, be focused on Jesus every moment of your life. Read His words in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and obey. Stay with Him and He will reveal Himself to you.
Stay with Jesus and avoid the graveyard church and graveyard Christians.
