What has happened to our churches?

What has happened to our churches, I cant believe in the day we are today, where no one stands for the bible any more. We have come to a time where church is another place to hang out, with no convictions, do what we want, no one can tell us what is wrong, or we will leave attitude. Are we even fundamentalist anymore, what would we classify our church as today. Seems when a revival want to break out the devil really attacks, & the sad thing is he uses Gods people to be the ones to do the attacking. Sometimes even the so called saved people, that don't realize how they are hurting other in their pathway of destruction, seeing what has been allowed in our lives, everything is OK, we will just do what we want, God will forgive us attitude. We are suppose to hate the sin not the sinner, that doesn't mean we compromise, & make them feel like its OK for what they are doing, we slowly are crossing that line of compromise, & don't even think twice about it. We have become so complacent, We don't want to offend anyone, We don't want to stand for anything anymore, do as you please, Gods will take care of it, HE will not be mocked, being the so called saved in sin, or the compromiser not saying anything about it. No confrontation, Heaven forbid you confront someone about their sin, but if they get you order wrong in a restaurant, man you blow a gasket, & let them have it, a piece of your mind that is. Pastors, Preacher, Sunday School teachers, Deacons, you name it church member, their lives don't even make a difference among the lost, that is why the world is slowly taking over our churches, then you become the bad guys for saying anything, but you know what just STAND, for what is right. I know, I love you really love you in the LORD christian in sin, but i have to draw the line somewhere when your still living in sin, & have no care about, you don't care who knows it, the world knows it, but you just don't care, because you rather satisfy the flesh. Sad thing is I am seeing people who I thought would stand for what is right, just let it go like if nothing is happening, you know it i know it, GOD knows its wrong, but do we even care, or do we just want to o about our business. The move of God is so real, & we just keep missing it, its like we expect God to do it, & when he does we don't even recognize HIM for it. Like the disciples asked John the baptist, " Are you the Christ or should we look for another?" Its come to the point where you have to ask about the church, are you the real thing or should we look for another/. Sad thing is where can you find another, they are like so far & few in between. People just going along with what the world thinks is holy, not what the Bible says is HOLY. I was talking to my friend last night about Uza, which also came up in my Sunday school, when they moved the Arc of the covenant, First of all they were moving it wrong, on a cart, then when it hit the threshold, it rocked a bit & Uza touched him, & the LORD killed him. Have we become like Uza, we go to church day in, & day out, have we forgotten what the church is, have we forgot, what the bible says, like Uza he got used to this Arc being in his house, in his living room, since he was small. It became like any other piece of furniture, so he had lost the respect, the reverence for it. Have we become the same way about our church, our bible, our christian walk, we do this christian thing day in day out, where has the reverence for GOD gone, we have become so used to this church its like a social gathering, "Yes Preacher, Amen Preacher," is what we shout, nod our heads with agreement, but what does our lives say, what does our prayer life say, our reading the bible time say, living like a Christian say, We have come to a time America, where the church, has not the full power of God, because we just don't care anymore, we don't give a rip about the things of GOD they have become a nuisance-1 A person, thing, or circumstance causing inconvenience or annoyance 2 An unlawful interference with the use and enjoyment of a person's land. We don't even enjoy working for GOD any more it is such a chore. We see other people living like the devil, & ask GOD why," Why God do you allow this? they are bringing such a reproach to Your Name,'" then we get even as worldly as them , & ask the LORD,"What if I do it, what if i go out in sin?", WHO YOU KIDDING CHRISTIAN, If your really a Christian you would be miserable, & if your not, your enjoying your sin, check up about your salvation, I would really check up about my salvation, about what happened that day when we claimed to be saved. Now in closing this post, I have tried to get past some thing, but Brother, Sister, when it is wrong it is WRONG. You know it, I know it, we all know it, Now that big big BIG question is what are we going to do about it, that's right, what can we do about, yes it really stinks, but all we can do is pray, & not take things into our own hands that belong to GOD to deal with, all we can do is pray, now the real questions are Have we Prayed? Or do we even care?

messing around with my blog

I deleted some stuff but not on purpose, it was an accident, OOooops, thats what happens when i star messing around with stuff

Been A While for Me

Haven't posted in a while, I've been so busy, lots of things going on in my life. My spiritual life has been at an all time low, due to me letting circumstances get in the way.
I struggle just as any man or woman does, i am not perfect by any means.
My best friend not being in church, my son not wanting to see me, my fiends that i thought were friends take things the wrong way, & it just gets all messy. Then of course i get in the flesh, & make things even worse, all i can do is pray, when i can get through. Revival started today at church it started great, Lord really dealt with my heart, I just had to swallow my pride, & make things right, turns out. I am the one holding out to stuff, everyone has gone past this junk , I was just dwelling on things that have no importance, or that are done with, gotten over. I want to make things right, by no means am i a compromiser, I know what I stand for, but I also know when the flesh has overtaken the situation and my eyes are so far from Christ, my Beloved. I preached on being religious this morning, I preached more to myself this morning in Sunday School. I just really want to serve God, but my flesh is always in the way, trials come, & i sink with them, I have gotten my eyes on other people instead of the Giants in suppose to be fighting. I have to be more of a testimony, I am excited of what GOD is going to do, but at the same time stand guard for the attacks. I love my teens, I pray to GOD i can have some kind of a good effect in their christian walk in their lives, Keep me in your prayer for the Lords will, i really need it. Just Rambling on,
Laters

Heart Broken

Today about 10PM, after coming back from fellowship from Texas Roadhouse, as my wife , & I were talking she got a text from her sis in law. She was asking if it was alright if Averie could call me because she was crying for me. You see my little niece has been in my life for a while it gets complicated at times, but I have learned to love her as my own. I just didn't realize how much I loved that little girl.

We have this bond when we see each other for some reason we put each others hands on each others face, I see how big my hand is against her little face, it makes me just want to squeeze her. She puts her hand against my big face, she can only cover my nose only. Then she just smiles. You see God hasn't given us a little girl, i say because God doesn't give us what we cant handle. See at times I was the threat, she would get, I would be the one they would say, "if you don't behave I will tell Tio Juan". She had a fear for me that turned into love, i have never laid hands on this little girl, but she was always afraid if i would someday. I think it would break my heart if I did.

Well she has moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to be with her dad, which is wonderful, she has her family. I just didn't know how much it would break my heart, or miss her so much, as I type, there is this huge knot in my throat. Well she call me, & i answer the phone thinking i can be tough Tio Juan, but this little voice on the other end is going hysterical saying ,"I love you Tio Juan, I love you." It just melted my heart away, i start crying, not wanting my boys to see my like this, I stay outside, I keep telling her I love her, she tells me she misses me, she misses her Tia DeeDee, she misses Johnny, misses Mikey, she misses David. I just keep crying trying to not let her notice I am crying,"Just keep telling her you love her," i tell myself. Well we hang up I walk a little bit around out side with this huge knot in my throat, then i make my way inside. I sit on the couch looking at the ceiling, my wife asks if I'm alright, I tell her, "She's gonna forget me".

I try to keep myself from breaking down, then my wife tells me she is gonna call me again, because I told her she could call me whenever she wanted too. So she calls again, all crying, so I start crying this time just like her I couldn't stop, She starts telling me she loves us all, she starts naming one by one. She also tells me If I could got to Oklahoma to go see her, I mean how can I tell her no. So I promised her I would go see her, she is also telling me she will behave at school, so I can go see her. She is telling me we will have lots of fun, I am just balling by know, i didn't care who heard me I just told her I loved her. I started thinking, man I am heart broken, I love this little girl, & I can't have her or see her anymore, but I WILL pray for her, I feel I lost her, & crazy thing is she is not even my daughter. I can't handle little girls breaking my heart, as tough as I want to be around them, I think they know they melt my heart, I love all my nieces.

After we hung up I just had to come , & blog, because maybe someday when she gets older, & she has forgotten me, she can read this, & know how much her Tio Juan loves her, and how close we were.
