The Family As The Church

WARNING! I am NOT a "christian". I claim NO Religion."Religion" is putting Yahweh in a box and putting myself in a stereotype. Yahshua is FREEDOM from that. So gratify do not hold me to your "christian" traditions and/or legalism. It won't bring home the bacon. I am NOT a "christian". Yahshua sacrificed His Life to have a RELATIONSHIP with you.... NOT to start a RELIGION!cast aside the Religion. be AWAY from "church"! Yahshua is the ONLY MEDIATOR between Yahweh and Man. Get out in "The Wilderness". Get Alone with your Messiah and BEGIN the Relationship!DO NOT be Fooled!! Only RELATIONSHIP with HIM can deliver You and NOTHING else!
You don't need the "perform" you are the Church. His "Called Out Ones" and should you direct as such. Let me repeat you don't be the "church"."perform" today is mostly entertainment. You go to comprehend a good sermon and usually ordain only attend a perform that has a "good" (entertaining) preacher sing a few songs hear other people socialise you with songs. Sometimes it's even a break from the kids they are in the the nursery or children's church it's your time to conclude good have a break conclude all and warm and fuzzy. Halfway through the service you give your money away to pay other people to back up others for you to do your "alter" work (not work that is alter so to speak but alter because people don't like to get their hands alter they don't like to do the hard cram.. it's so much easier to just give some money away). And you conclude good about giving and it'a all about you. And for those who may yell out in protest let me just say. I experience what I am talking about... I grew up in "church".. from age 4-14 and then from age 17-19 I attended a Southern Baptist Church and then a non-denominational community church. I'm not a stranger to it and if your church is different that's great! But I just create verbally about what I experience based upon what I have seen and in my opinion the system stinks.. it's all about money it's all about self and feeling good and entertainment and there is a exceed way. I'm talking about the family as a church. A Christian Family can do all that the "church" does and they can do a better a job. create as pastor teaching and shepherding his little flock together they answer and give each other and they answer others.. a beam of lighten in the community a city on a forge. Causing REAL change interacting with REAL populate.. not giving their cater away paying someone to do the dirty bring home the bacon for them whilst they go about their business and live their life. Let me ask you is that how Yahshua operated?? NO! He went to the people and hung out with them and ate with them and talked to them and gave to them... He did the hard cram. He got His hands alter and we are called to copy Him.. to go as He walked. It's not about you it's not about looking good or feeling good living life and doing your own thing then throwing money at a church/ministry/charity once a month thinking you're actually serving or doing some good while you be comfortably relatively undisiturbed.. keeping your hands alter. Let me ask again is that what Yahshua did??Now it does act some work it just doesn't happen overnight but anything worth doing is usually hard.. at first. Your power to back up others lies in what Yahweh has given you. He has blessed you with money/material posessions and He has blessed you with talent/gifts. examine out and find practical ways to serve others with them. One thing that every family can do is start a "bill fund" in which each month you displace 10% (or more) of your be income. In our house we refer to this money as "the untouchable fund".. it's dedicated to Yahweh and can only be used when we have a alter write from Him that we should use it. And we're not picky basically if Yahweh places someone in our path who needs help we help as Yahweh has given us the capacity to help. This is great because it forces you to back up it leaves you with no forgive.. and once you get a good be of money in your bill finance you ordain actually begin looking for others to help in ways that can actually alter a difference in their lives. Everyone is unique and what one needs is not what another needs.. sometimes it has nothing to do with giving money or a material posession bought with that money but more to do with actually feeding that person's soul.. most people are so very lonely so very lost most people just need to experience that someone cares. It's a great lesson for children a great way for the children to hit the books what really is important what life is REALLY all about. And it's quite simple. Yahweh has undeservedly blessed you now it's your move to undeservedly bless others.. to be Yahshua to them and through you maybe they ordain come to know the real Yahshua. It's a beautiful thing and anyone can do it you just mouth where you are with those you know.. you look for ways to serve and when you are shown what needs to be done you do it.. no questions asked. Could you create by mental act what the world would be like if every family served from their homes in this manner?!?! This is what the church. His "called out ones" are all about... THIS is the real bring home the bacon of His Saints. Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his exuberate and all the holy angels with him then shall he sit upon the govern of his exuberate:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall displace them one from another as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:33 And he shall set the sheep on his alter hand but the goats on the left.34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand. Come ye blessed of my Father acquire the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:35 For I was an hungred and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty and ye gave me consume: I was a stranger and ye took me in:36 Naked and ye clothed me: I was egest and ye visited me: I was in prison and ye came unto me.37 Then shall the righteous answer him saying. Lord when saw we thee an hungred and fed thee? or thirsty and gave thee consume?38 When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in? or naked and clothed thee?39 Or when saw we thee egest or in prison and came unto thee?40 And the King shall say and say unto them. Verily I say unto you. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me.41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand. Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting blast prepared for the devil and his angels:42 For I was an hungred and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty and ye gave me no drink:43 I was a stranger and ye took me not in: naked and ye clothed me not: sick and in prison and ye visited me not.44 Then shall they also answer him saying. Lord when saw we thee an hungred or athirst or a stranger or naked or egest or in prison and did not minister unto thee?45 Then shall he answer them saying. Verily I say unto you. Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these ye did it not to me.46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
