A MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH
THE PROBLEM THESE DAYS WHEREBY OUR CHURCHES FALTER,
IS THAT THEY'VE STOPPED HAVING A PRAYER NIGHT AND NOT ONLY THAT
BUT THEY'VE REMOVED THE ALTAR.
THEY HAVE TRAMPLED THE LORDS NAME DRAGGING IT THROUGH THE MUD,
THE SERMONS NOW PREACHED NEVER MENTION THE BLOOD.
THIS MESSAGE IM PREACHING MAY BE A BIT SHOCKING,
BUT LET ME GO ONE STEP FURTHER BY SAYING THAT ACCORDING TO
SCRIPTURE JESUS IS OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH DOOR WHERE HE STANDS
KNOCKING.
