who we are is not enough

"What makes a Church "Spirit Filled," is the actions of the people in it, not the name on it, or the doctrine it says it believes. There is a difference between being spirited, and spiritual. Lets walk out what we say we believe." - Pastor Sergio

Actions.

Are we, as the Church, doing enough? We are called to go forth, and make disciples of all nations. To be salt and light to all the earth. To reach out to the lost, to love the broken.

But have we been doing so?

Yes we have. But only to a certain extent.
We are willing to move in our comfort zones. And that's it.

We're supposed to be bold and daring.
Jesus did things that weren't acceptable to the 'leaders' then. He was branded scandalous. For being morally 'wrong'.

This is the end times. We, as the Church, will be condemned. Scratch that, we should be condemned.

Anyone who wants to live all out for Christ is in for a lot of trouble; there's no getting around it.
-2 Timothy 3:12 (Message Bible)

But now, we are conforming to the ways of the world. We bend rules because we want to reach out others. No doubt, we must have the hunger for souls. But we cannot defy God's commandments.

Found this quote about the Church:
They are only social clubs and everything is all about comfort. Bring us in and make us feel good about our selves but don't you DARE address my pet sin and make me feel guilty!

We need to act. Act upon our own personal struggles. Leaders need to stop sitting on their bums and start doing something. I need to stop sitting on my bum..

Change starts from within.

We must go, live to feed the hungryStand beside the broken, we must goStepping forward, keep us from just singingMove us into action, we must go
