Man's Church

The history of man's church  (religion) is replete with violence and power seeking and the hunger for control - these are the desires and wisdom of the heart of man. Darkness is allowed to reign while the light is hidden. The role of the scriptures is relegated to a limited source of quotations used to justify a position in order to manipulate the 'followers' for man's own religious agenda. Dogma and doctrine take precedence while purposefully overshadowing God's living truth. An organization of man where the power of the Spirit has no welcome. 

The true church (the body of Christ), the city set on the hill, the light that shines in the darkness, is the glory of God. The Lord is lifted up and man seeks after His will - not his own. It is a present day living demonstration of the power of the Spirit moving in His people casting forth the truth and grace and power and glory of our Living God. It seeks after the mind of Christ in all things - not the new wisdom of modern man (which is foolishness to God). Church arise and yield to the power of the Spirit of the Living God and let your lampstands burn brightly for His glory lest they be extinguished from your presence.  

1 Cor 2:1-5

And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

1 Cor 2:12-16

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one. For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.
