Three P'S OF Worship

WORSHIP: IS IT?
Preaching; Praying; Praising The LORD… OR
Partying; Playing; Practicing Pagan Cultural Traditions
A lot of things have ~changed~ since the day when Solomon built the ~temple~ where the folks could come togather to worship the LORD… BUT Even then, IT didn’t take long for the very one that God gave permission to build IT, TO contaminate IT with the rituals of false gods and goddesses…. SOOOOOoooo…. Read: (I Kings 11: 4-10)….
~Just Maybe~ there ain’t much changed after all…..
Modern Day, Houses of Worship, where the people that call themselves after God’s Only Begotten Son, gather to: Worship, have succeeded in doing the same thing that King Solomon did… Only worse, and in a more subtle way…
Why do you reckon the Father had Penned down by the Apostles, what HE gave HIS Son to speak OF: Pertaining TO, & Warning OF: These Days? Of the god of this world? The roaring lion, the tempest?… (John 12:49)..
Paul, gave warning to the Christians of his time, Not to forsake the assembling of themselves together… So that they could and would be ~Exhorted~ in and by the Word, shared and interacted with each other in: the ~Lord, Jesus Christ,~ through the ~Guidance of the Holy Spirit~
(Hebrews 10:25)… “NOT Forsaking the ~Assembling~ OF ourselves together… BUT *Exhorting* one another.. So much more… as ye see the day approaching…
According TO: AS IT IS Written, Peter, Paul, John, nor any of the disciples of that day, DID NOT, gather the folks together to celebrate each others fleshly lives, events of the world, or play games in the Houses where they gathered TO: “Preach the Word” OF God….
BUT today, *IF* you get up and make the effort to dress yourself appropriately for an appearance before the LORD IN HIS House of Prayer, TO: assemble, with those that claim HIS Son’s Name, you just might get the surprise of your life….
First you will not be able to tell from the dress whether you have arrived, AT: a worldly sports event, a nite club dance hall, or a gathering of a street gang…. FOR there IS A Mixture OF: the world gathered there, even among the leaders in shorts: tank tops, with tattoo’s shining, mini skirts with bottoms glowing, lungs exposed down to the waist, baubles, bangles, painted faces and hair colored to reflect the appearance of ~Jezebel~…
You try to tell yourself that: This IS God’s House of Prayer and the services WILL Be carried out in ~Truth~ with the Three P’s being Prominent in here and then the, Next meeting everyone will have learned how to ~SHOW~ Respect, and have an honorable fear before the LORD as IT IS Written that they should….. BUT, WAIT… These are ~THE~ ones that stand before the congregation as teachers, leaders, deacons, their wives, and families that Paul Instructed IN: the proper way to fill these offices…. (I Corinthians 11:1-34)… (31) … *IF* we would judge ourselves… (act, dress, behave, in an appropriate manner) we should not ~BE~ judged…
NOW, we go back to the ~Day~ that each one of these came to the ~Alter~ before God the Father and the eyes of the world: Declared Christ to be their Savior, Accepted That God The Father sent HIS Son To die for their sins, walked into the view of the public to be Baptized, indicating a ~~NEW~~ Walk in Christ, putting away ~The Old Man~, and walked out in the same filthy garments of world that they were wearing when they walked into the pool… promoting the same false teachings, claiming to be liberated in Christ, TO: Continue in the ways of a lost and dying world, setting an example of the world of men’s traditions before those that come TO: Learn HOW to have a closer walk with the LORD… Those that the Father drew to HIS Son, and the Spirit led to be saved, and declare the Son to the glory of the Father…
Did the Spirit lead them into the mire of the world? What IS being offered here?
(Romans 6:6) & (Ephesians 4:22) & (Luke 5:37 - 38) … Jesus SAID: “No man putteth ~New Wine~ into ~Old Bottles~; Else the new wine ~WILL~ burst the bottles, & Be spilled…~~New Wine~~ *MUST* Be put into ~New Bottles~ ..; & both are preserved…
SOOOOoooo… If we are Baptized and we come up a ~new person~ in Christ, we must fill our hearts with a New Walk and not settle them or pour them back into the old walk or else they will break and the new life will be spilled out and we will perish in and with the world….
Read the warnings that John wrote by the Word of Christ to the Churches… IN:
(Revelations chapters 1-4)….Did HE NOT WARN: about the, “Jezebel” that calls ~Herself~ a prophetess, that IS Allowed to teach and seduce Gods’ servants, to commit fornication with idols? (2:20) … (3:14).. “I Know thy works that thou art neither hot nor cold” Churches that have become settled on their lees and just go along with their traditions, go back home and live as the rest of the world lives…..
ISN’T This the very same thing that King Solomon did? He did not bring the false teachings into the meeting in the temple, BUT he set up the groves near enough that the people could cast their eyes upon the false gods and goddesses, contaminating the ~True Worship~ in the temple…He offered sacrifices unto the false gods and goddesses… Folks want to teach that his sin was having so many wives and concubines, but that was the beginning of his sin, his sin was allowing them to turn his heart from the LORD, and then he paid homage to, sacrificed to their false gods, and false teachings….. TOO many times we look at the temptation as the sin instead of what the temptation leads to, resulting IN our failing to be ~Obedient~ unto God’s Commands.. Which IS Why we continue to fall, crawling, and wallowing around in the same sin over and over, and that SIN IS Simply being ~~Disobedient~ TO God’s Word, HIS Command, HIS Way… By trying to do things *OUR* way…
Isn’t that exactly what we do when we: color, hide, hunt eggs, a practice done before the very goddess that Solomon set up for the people to observe… that IS A part of a false worship, and we mix it all up in the Biblically Written Account OF: The One that gave His Life that we may live, but in doing this we will surely die……Because we reject the: Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, Because… IT Looks innocent, IT IS fun, and IT would be alright as a child’s game any day of the year, BUT, the thing that makes *IT* an abomination IS we inject *IT* into the blessed account of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, The Blessed Son of God the Father IN Heaven, Jesus Christ, thus contaminating the ~~Truly Written Account~ of THIS life Saving Event in God’s Holy Written Word…
God gave us a time and a place for ~all~ things… HE gave us HIS Word in seriousness, not to be mixed and wrongly taught by the false teaching of the ~antichrist~… AND When we mix any pagan custom with a Biblical Account of Christ, we are speaking Against Christ rather than FOR Christ, and IF we are not for Christ then we are WHAT?
(Romans 1:16) … States.. “For I am ~Not~ Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ” .. and folks circulate this message around as a testimony for Christ… BUT those same folks contaminate THE Very Gospel OF Christ with the lies of false worship and pagan teachings…. WHY?
Because IT looks good, it seems right, it sounds righteous… BUT!!
(Matthew 24:5)… Jesus Said: “Many shall come; ~IN My Name~, saying I am Christ, and shall deceive many”… Are we not contaminating the ~Name of Christ~, by promoting Christmas, as a season of Santa Claus? Why on earth would we not keep the seasonal gift delivering separate from the ~~Blessed Event OF The Birth OF God’s Only Begotten Son~, on this earth… What IS gained by this mixture? Eyes are cast upon the ways of the world, by the cunning lures of Satan the Devil that old dragon, who cunningly led Adam and Eve to believe that they could be as gods IF they did what they wanted to do Instead of doing what God said!…
AND many Churches can’t even spend one hour during that season giving the ~Message~ of Christ Birth, because they are in a rush to get to the ~~*PARTY*~~ of the world…
NOW! We are not to judge each other because that belongs to God… AND IT IS Written THAT Judgment ~First~ begins ?Where? …
AND IT IS ALSO Written: that these days will not come except there be a falling away… Reckon the leaders of the congregations are helping in that falling away…
(II Thessalonians 2:3-4) .. So that the man of sin, the son of perdition be revealed as he who exalted himself above all that IS called God, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God.. shewing *himself* that he is God… The same as Isaiah wrote of IN: (Isaiah 14:12 - 15).. Lucifer, the devil thought to exalt himself up in the heavens above the clouds to ~BE~ LIKE .. *THE Most High*… Exalting his throne above the stars of God:. So Satan IS working overtime going about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour… (I Peter 5:8)
I once heard IT Said: “IF” one congregation offers hotdogs and cokes for people to come join in their services, then the one down the street will offer, hamburgers and ice cream… to increase their numbers… And *IF* you look at the announcements, the ~Invites~ to these services, you will sadly see how this saying came to be… BUT…. IS this how Christ commissioned us to offer The Word of His Father?
Were we not ~Commissioned~ TO Come out from among *them*? AND ~WHO~ IS *THEM?
(II Corinthians 6:14-18)… “What fellowship hath *Righteousness* With ~Unbelievers~” This IS preached only to be interrupted as a union of marriage between a man and a woman of different belief’s, BUT IS NOT the congregations of THE Church supposed to be *Married* TO: Christ? And not the idols of pagan beliefs and cultural traditions?
What concord (peaceful coexistence, or agreement) hath: Christ with Belial? OR! What Part hath he that believeth with an infidel?… Here’s where IT Gets Sticky! Folks teach that we individuals are the temple of God and that this does not apply to the Church as a group of people… BUT! *IT* IS* we individuals that are the temple of God, In which Christ dwells in us and we in Him, THAT assemble ourselves together, to worship the LORD, God Almighty Father?… and yes, there are others of the world that come in, the tares, among the wheat, Jesus said, “Let them grow, together, until the harvest”… BUT we are to let them grow in the truth, that all may be won to Christ, not in an abominable false teaching that all may be lost and become tares to be burned in the fires of hell…. Examples SET?
This *IS* where we are to ~~Come~~ out from among them… TO Stand Firm on and IN God’s Will and Way that by our: True Teaching of the Word of God, they may be led to THE ONE that can and does save… for true we cannot save anyone not even ourselves, only Christ, THE Way, THE Truth, THE Light…. BUT! *IF* we the people don’t first obey God’s Way, and second teach the Written Word IN *Truth*…which IS the first because That IS What Christ Commissioned us to do, so IF we obey we will teach the ~Truth~ The Whole Truth, AND *Nothing* BUT THE TRUTH, where are we leading the lost, to Christ or the world of Satan, ~Already~ sentenced to destruction… YET, folks keep trying to ~~Save~ the world by changing IT, instead of working out their Salvation and leading others by ~Keeping and Showing *Faith* IN Christ… walking IN His Light, Obedient TO HIS Way…
(Ephesians 6: 11 -18).. Take on the ~~Whole Armor~ of Christ & AND & ~Take~ *The Helmet OF Salvation*, & *THE Sword of the Spirit*, Which *IS* ~THE WORD OF God…
BUT by, our mixing in false teachings for fun, play, party time, joking, comedy, good time in the ways of the world, we are neither ~Teaching God’s Way~, Setting A Godly Example~ OR even growing ourselves in the truth, but we are wandering around in the world as lost sheep, who could return to the fold, *IF* we *Listen* For the Master’s Voice, and not the sound of pagan music beating out a rhythm of the lost and dying world in out ears…
~These Scripture ARE Written, AS Clearly, AS IT Gets~… BUT OH, ONE thing you gotta do IS read, Accept, study, learn, Believe, take them to heart, AND Put them to USE in your walk through This fleshly life, for growth in strength in these last days..
AND IT would be wonderful IF we ~could~ assemble ourselves together for the ~Right~ Reasons, Instead of a good time in the world….
