Now, standing in the dark on that hill, he wept once again, shamed at what he’d seen today.
“God in Heaven, is this what has become of your people? Is this what has become of the body of Christ?” he prayed, pain evident in his voice. The church had lost its discernment. It had lost its will to stand for Christ on the truth of the Holy Word. There was no difference between the church and the world. The church had failed to guard itself against the onslaught of ungodly teaching and ideas. What he had written to the Philippians was forgotten and now, this chance to see what the church had become had pained him deeply. As he turned he heard a noise. A young man carrying a bible walked by him, not even knowing he was there. He kneeled down at the spot where Paul had stood and began to pray for the city and for the church. Paul watched amazed. Was there still hope?
Philippians 4:7 says “And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (NASB)

So many churches are "caving" into the "easy" way of getting people to enter the doors of the church.
The music of dancing and praising can be honoring the Lord. As David did in Psalms, dancing and singing in priase to God. However, NOT getting into the word, or scriptural reference is what really upsets me.
We should ALL be ONE body of CHRIST...and it is a sad how many are not being "fed" properly. I enjoyed this,and liked the ending. Profound. God Bless~
