Fear and Guilt in the Church

Apologetics Index - An Examination of Kingdom-, Dominion-, and Latter Rain Theology - this page of a great article shows how in so many ways fear and guilt has made it's way into the church. yup, yup, yup.

it's refreshing to read something that says what i feel.... although i have never been one to point out any one particular 'type' of church... it's just everywhere.... *sigh* if i didn't know that my Jesus has a plan and a purpose for allowing all this, i would feel like there was no hope for the body of Christ at large..... but i DO.

God has a purpose and a plan.... and ultimately, He is gonna shake all.... everything that can be shaken will be shaken!!!! at what is not built on Him will not stand!!!!!

i think it's important for us to look at our own individual faith, and examine what we believe against the scriptures, regularly... and root out gunk like fear and guilt from our hearts.

i get so mad when i see the schemes of the enemy at work in christians.... we need to wise up, folks....

if after doing a thorough examination of scriptures, and you still believe what you believe, great. it's most likely true, or something that God will correct in His time. but LOOK at what you believe. EXAMINE it. BE BEREANS.

the Word of God is a powerful weapon... be sure you know how to use it.

don't just listen to other folk and go, 'oh really, i didn't know that was in the bible!?!' .... maybe it is, maybe it isnt... maybe it is, but taken out of context.... have you looked it up? studied it out?

we gotta put on our thinking caps, folks.... God gave us a brain for a reason.
