Don't miss out on the real issues
What are the real issues? This blog goes out to all the people who make the non-issues, issues in our Church, things that are so small but are blown out of proportion and stressed about!
It seems as though in Church today there are things that are so small but our congregation make so big.
In the Salvation army just like all denominations this is seen to be true.
The Salvatoin army uniform. Wow has this casued some debate, the uniform we wear is not designed for anything but to show that we are alligned in spiritual warfare and fighting the wars of injustice, If people choose not to wear it then that is there own choice, but if people choose to put on the uniform it should be to show that they are taking part in a greater battle. Lets not however make that battle in the church, sometimes we get caught up in the debates in our own Churchs that we miss out on bringing the love of Jesus to the world, thats the real battle.
In my own personal opinion the uniform shouldn't be worn if the person wearing it is not taking part in spiritual warfare or the fight for Justice, also it shouldn't be worn if you aren't sharing the gospel to un-saved friends!
So the reality is, it isnt a big issue, rather the issue is that the gospel isn't being brought to the world!
Another minor issue that we blow up is our worship style. Firstly it isn't 'our' worship, it belongs to God, we are just bringing it back to him in a way that is honouring, but if our heart isn't in the song then God doesn't hear our worship. The thing is God loves all sorts of music, from Scremo music to punk to brass, as long as its sung with a heart after God! So why do we care so much about eachothers style, Just bring your own song to the Lord, worship is about you connecting with God!
There is so much crap that we are focusing on in our Churchs that we miss out on impacting the world, Its no use being a Christian if you aren't prepared to take up your cross!
Ask yourself this question "are you willing to give you everything you love about church for the sake of the Gospel" If the answer is yes then go out into the world and see your friends saved, if you truely think you can answer yes to that question then we should be seeing Churchs growing.
Go and have a hard think about that.
SEE YOUR GENERATION SAVED
