The Church Needs an Upgrade

what I have found was He only did what He saw the Father do, He only said what He heard the Father say.

Hmm... reminds me of a song.

Oh they tore the old country church down
Built a big new church way uptown
With a steeple so high
It reaches to the sky
And pride has stepped in
Where love should have been

Last verse:
There's nothing wrong with that church uptown
It's the members that let God down
If they'd humble themselves and pray
They would hear from God today
In that big new church way uptown

No, just get rid of all the man-made “programs.”

The Holy Spirit FOLLOWS the Word of God to perform It or bring It to pass or manifest It.

Just think, say and do God’s Word…by doing so, the Holy Spirit will be in an atmosphere or habitat to give LIFE to those that are there.

Follow Jesus Christ- The Word of God…He ushers in God’s Holy Spirit.

So you do not like the example Jesus set?

I read your original post and all the things you suggested, none of which Jesus suggested or did as He taught.
Why not just do as Jesus did?

See post 120

This is your post #120:

What about when Jesus healed people, made a whip and drove out the money changers from the temple??!!!

Please read all the books of the Gospel- Mathew, Mark, Luke and John then discuss what Jesus Christ did.

So you heal people and drive out the money changers?

You are the one that brought up the healing and money changers.
I was saying we should conduct church service as Jesus did.
Not what you suggested in your first post.

Jesus did and said by the power of Holy Spirit as He received from John the Baptist, imparted to the 12, they to the 70, and on and on unto today.
Today I imparted to another at a local divine encounter He arranged.
Freely we were given, we are to freely give, no just talk about Him.
Thank you and blessings to you Lafftur, you handled the derail well.

Where, like to know...

On a point I disagree. That is what you describe that it should look.
We have what God said it should look like, and yeah I know that Daniel's temple is mostly allegory. But we can draw some ideas from it.
There are churches that are focused on the people because we are following an age old tradition. We have pastoral and deacon care in my church, where our pastor does visit our shut ins and those in hospital and our elders regularly call the Church members that maybe havent shown up for a couple of services. We have pastor and elder visits and so on. With out degrading the regular Sunday service, we call it devine service, because communion.

True and very sad.

Southwest tennessee. Small towns, small churches, good people.

Yup the best!! My dad was a small town pastor of a small church for awhile growing up. I just found a new church Lynx. It is small and so far the ppl are so welcoming. It is just down the road, so thankful.

How close to Memphis?
I go to church in North West Mississippi.

Uh... Nothing personal, but I like to avoid pinpointing. Southwest Tennessee is as precise as I get online.

It's just a little United Pentecostal Church in a small town, with some good people and a great pastor who used to be a pothead. His past comes up a lot in his sermons.
