The Church Of The World
A Loose Church


In this time we live in, Satan has told the Church Of Jesus Christ that it has to loose it’s standards, he has told us that anything goes. Well, anything doesn’t go. We are not a church without standards. Our standards has been set forth in God’s holy word since the beginning. His word remains the same today, as it was on yesterday. His word is immutable, it change not. People change, times change and circumstances change, but God’s word remains the same always.

The Church has become too loose:

(1). They’ve lowered or ignored the moral standards
(2). Anything goes, as long as the money is coming in
(3). They have adapted themselves to the world that they may be accepted

What God required at the beginning of mankind is now referred to as tradition and the old church. There is no old church, but there an Old Testament and it’s even complimented by the New Testament and attests to everything written therein.

In the book of Ecclesiates 1:9 the thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun.

Yes God do want to do a new thing in you, but that is to bring you closer to him, changing your old way of thinking and doing. Getting to heaven still requires the same thing today as it did then. The Bible is a guide map to Heaven, just like a map in an Atlas takes you to various destinations. People are not satisfied with just seeking the Lord and following the road map to heaven they have to veer off on a side road somewhere.

Solomon prior to his death in 931 BC tried to deal with the problems of life. He determined that of these six key ideas, three were negative and three were positive.

The three negative things are:
1. All is vanity
2. Man is limited
3. God is hidden

The three positive things are:
1. Fear God and keep his commandments
2. Enjoy life
3. Use wisdom properly

Taken together these illustrate and demonstrate that the purpose of the book of Ecclesiastes is to show men that they should lead godly and joyous lives even though we live in a world of divinely condoned mysteries.

Even the church back then dealt with the problems facing it as it concerned the changing of the times.

Concerning vanity, futility, meaninglessness, emptiness, breath, nothingness, absurdity, that which is futile or worthless, of no value or profit. It’s not to say that all is vanity, but the things we worry about in life is much about nothing.

Just as today, preachers in churches are faced with what should I preach or not preach. Should I deal with this or not, or simply rely on the Holy Ghost to do it. They ask themselves, do I deal with the issues or do I just let it go. They are so afraid that someone is going to get offended that they compromise their convictions concerning certain issues relative to daily living of the saints. Either you choose to love God; live like you love him and look like you love him or you perish. We must strive to be that walking epistle God has called us to be. We must put a difference between the world and those that say they belong to God. We cannot look like the world and draw a lost world to Christ. Not to say that you cannot use things in the world, but it’s a way to do anything. There is a way that seem right to man, but the way therein are the ways of death.

Are we motivated by what we see? No. What we see some things are due to a lack of teaching, and lack of enforcement of the word to the soul of the natural man.
