We're in an age where touchy feely friendships and such between the genders are a regular occurrence even among Christians/Apostolics who should be living by much higher, more dignified standards.
Skirts and sleeves are getting shorter on the women and cleavage is becoming rather invasive as well. Yes I am talking about in the church!!! You think just because your skirt barely covers your knees that makes you modest!!?? If the skin isn't showing the clothes are getting sexier and tighter. Not to mention having nothing on UNDER them (tights or leggings) These new black styles with the sexy little designs in them look like something that should only be worn for your husband in the bedroom! And high heels were not meant for Christian women to wear. Worse yet they make your bodies move disgustingly funky and mess up your hips! Nothng Holy about that. I typically don't mind flip flops but don't come to church in them! Cover your feet! Its all become very distracting ...
My goodness we won't even talk about the hair and make up right now ... You don't want to leave youselves as God made you thats between you and Him!
Negative (even mouthy) attitudes are at an all time high as are the gossip filled stories fast spreading around in the fellowship of Saints ...
Oh don't worry I have a thing or two to say about men and their conduct as well ...
Men are becoming more loose and casual in their attire and have forgotten what it means to look respectable. What has become of the suit and tie? I see men of all ages coming to church in jeans and t-shirts or these new fashion printed styles of apparel. Some of that may be alright while you're out and about, but do you think God appreciates you coming to church looking like you're a gang member or part of some cult? And pull you're pants UP and put on a belt for crying out loud!
Our aggressive personalities from all the stress in our lives are hard enough to control without losing our roles in leadership as Apostles and Ministers of God ... NOT self indulgent, pride swelling popularity or people pleasing! Man Up, This is NOT about YOU or YOUR WAY!!!
.......
Parents (Namely Fathers) are allowing their sons and daughters to leave the house looking like hookers and vagabonds. Then they behave like there are no consequences while they are out in the world only to come home or to church acting all behaved and perfectly innocent for the benefit of Parents and Pastors. Do you really believe school doesn't have a negative aspect of influence on them? The Gay Agenda in taking over the curriculum and all we do is sit at home and wine about it!
.......
We are allowing so many man made traditions, forms of entertainment, WORLDLY style holidays, technology, LIGHT SHOWS and all sorts of devices (Instead of BIBLES) to enter into our churches, invade our services and distract us from the MESSAGE!!! ALL of it by OUR own hands ...
After the song service is over ... TURN OFF THE PROJECTION SCREEN AND MAKE YOUR CONGREGATION OPEN THEIR BIBLES!!! I find it acceptable during fired up messages, but we can still take notes the way we used to and I still do at times!
Get out your Bibles and read Malachi 2:2 and and Chronicles 7:13-14 Take those scriptures to your leaders and show them! Tell them that God Does NOT respect the separtion of church and state! Remind them that our leaders from the past have ALWAYS turned to God and God ALWAYS saved our nation ...
.......
Spend more time alone with God, meditate more than talk, pray more than gripe. Read the bible more than you preach about it. THAT is what GOD watches for. Not for the pleasure of others seeing you LOOK like you have a strong relationship with God only for them to follow you more than what you live by ...
We are to be an example and all we have done is allowed the world to influence US!!! We respect celebrities and obsess over them while all they do is drink and party and spread more sinful insipration everywhere ... We have become too PASSIVE and our AMERICA is falling apart because of it!!!
Divorce AND LOVE AFFAIRS I believe is a direct result of all the SATANIC SOAP OPERAS!!! Disease and mental retardation in our children are in great part due to SO MUCH SIN in our personal relationships with each other!!!
Where did all the agony of God's heart dissapear to? What has happened to the Prayer Warriors who spent hours at the altar crying out for someone else's soul? Or for their own congregation to come forward instead of sitting in the back pews chatter boxing ...
The devil is trying to drag us to HELL and we don't fight it anymore!!!
