Christian churches

It's just about two weeks now until Christians around the world celebrate the day that Jesus Christ arose from the tomb, conquering sin and death that the first Adam foisted upon mankind through heredity. But how many ever stop to think how far Christian churches have fallen, from the blood-soaked cross of Calvary to air-conditioned sanctuaries housing cushioned pews, carpeted floors, "members" in their new Easter outfits, visitors who may attend one time and some "pastors" who have not been called by God to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Please be advised: Only those who have received Jesus into their hearts have been transformed from this Earthly body that will pass away into the eternal spirit that is nourished by the Holy Ghost, and they alone are authorized to tell the world around them that Jesus Christ was born for the purpose of becoming sin and putting sin to death, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life.

If the church you attend does not have a true minister who preaches the dynamic, soul-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ every time your church meets, then I suggest you find one that does, even if they meet in a stable.
