While the church is calling the nation to repentance, God is calling the church to repentance.  “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:..” 1 Peter 4:17.  Discern the church today; it promotes a relationship with God but fellowship with one another.  Fellowship with the Lord in today’s church consists of small groups, home groups, Christianity class 101 and one 30 minute sermon a week from the preacher to keep us motivated. The church today is so busy promoting the relationship with God that they don’t give one time to fellowship with Him. It is impossible to fellowship without a relationship but entirely possible to have a relationship without fellowship.  Once the church has established their spiritual duty, a relationship with God, they step in the way and become the veil between God and His children.  Being too busy in the work of the Lord to fellowship with Him is the devil’s distraction.  Good works will naturally follow true Faith and not be a distraction.  Discern who and how much time we are spending in fellowship without “forsaking the assembling of ourselves together” Hebrews 10:25. If we spend more time fellowshipping with the holy rollers than the Holy Spirit, then we have a relationship with the Lord but it is our brothers and sisters, teachers and preachers that we are fellowshipping with.  God gave us teachers and preachers to teach us His Word and point us to Him for spiritual growth, not to teach us spiritual growth and point us to the church.  God bless all of you preachers and teachers who still believe in the power of Almighty God and trust Him to deliver us instead of trying to deliver us yourselves.   God have mercy on those who have allowed the world into the church. – Donna Warren
