I love God just as much as you guys, if not more!!! I was just making a comment on how some of the so called "religious" people are the ones who are
hypocrites at time...when i was talking about the preachy people, i wasnt talking about the people who are well versed in the word of God, because then I would be talking about myself! I know I definitely try to help people out and minister when God puts it on my heart to, so please don't get it twisted! I say that I dont care for church people...I am not literally talking about EVERYONE who goes to a church building to worship...i am talking about the ones who are in the church but not living it, thats what I meant by "Church folk" (in loose terms anyway)...yes, I have seen alot growing up as a preacher's kid, so I tend to hold on to my faith in God more than people...I grew up in a crazy church environment in which most of the kids I grew up in church with dont even go to church anymore as a result of what we saw...and that makes me sad, I want to tell them that God loves them despite all the craziness we saw growing up and that God is SOOO much bigger than that! I'm just saying I don't know if people realize it, but some are so over religious and over spiritual that they tend to be a turn off for those who are not saved! I just was stating how I felt, and how I can relate to people who are "REAL"...people who are not afraid to be transparent in their walk with God, who are not going to put up a front and act as if they can do no wrong but who are going to share the love of Christ with everyone they come in contact with without having to say a word! I've been around people who talk the talk, but when it came down to it, they could not walk the walk. That annoys the heck outta me, but I just pray for them! The people who have ministered to me the most have been the people I can confide in, the people who are not talkin about God every 30 seconds lol, if that makes sense...I guess I can't get judgemental because some people have that call of evangelism on their lives, so if it comes off that way, I apologize!
Sometimes I wish "church folk" would realize that instead of trying to shove Jesus down people's throats, they should let their walk do the talking...that is so much more powerful! Then again, everyone ministers differently, so I dunno...I guess all I really can do is do what God's put me on this earth to do and forget about everyone else and what they're doing...
Like I said, I dont think what I said will ever be understood, so I'm going to leave it at this...I love God and I am not concerned about how I look towards the eyes of others (as far as other Christians go), I may not be as OUTSPOKEN as the rest about it, but I know who I am in God and know that in myself, I will never be perfect, but thank God Jesus is!!!!! I know that my purpose here on earth is to bring glory to GOD, and I can do that without constantly having to feel like I have to "prove" it...*shrugs*
I actually understand exactly where you are coming from with the original post and this one. While ministering to people is to be done there are certain ways to conduct yourself. And as she said dont rebuke them or shove it down their throat tell them about who God is what he had done and cappable of doing teach them dont lift your self up in a self righteous manner to put them down because they dont understand thoroghly as you..and have an holier than though attitude. Some church people dont understand that. The hypocrites of the church is a different story....not every one you see quoting scripture and speaking in tounges are true christians.
Oh and another thing judge not less ye be judged (i think thats what is said) "church people" notice the quotation seem to love judging people on the outward appearance if someone dresses a certain way they have to be a heathen, ****, ****, or what ever the case its not true. A prime example i experienced a couple of weeks ago. While outside with some friends just chilling and talking after practicing a praise dance....a car blasting rap music was driving by then stopped right in front of us. The boy came out big t shirt, baggy shorts, gold teeth, and braids and asked us... do yall know jesus christ....we said yes...and he was like no really do you.... we said yes...and he made us listen to the rap music in his car which was actually his gospel rap and he just began ministering to us...then he drove off...another lesson to show dont judge a book by its cover.
Kumbayah!
