Here's my .02 cents;

I feel that like politics, people are tired of past performance. We get
tired of hearing about the great days. If you want the great days, they
start with you. Each and everyone of us can have great days. We need to stop
looking to the church and church body. We need to start ourselves with
prayer, fasting, and DAILY worship.

I see the church in some ways as the US government. We look to past and not
to today. We need to not forget the acient paths, not the ones setup in the
early 1900's, but the ones that were setup on the day of Pentecost. We need
to look deep at the roots that we claim. We need to practice what the word
of God says to practice. We need to be willing to go back to the beginning.
Nothing can be sacred enough to replace the word of God, and the moving of
the Holy Ghost in our churches.

Maybe the reason that we dont have growth, is 1) People are told the do's
and don'ts and see that there is no real power. 2) That we claim to have
something, and if you go to an AOG church, you can get warm fuzzies also. 3)
That there is no REAL LOVE left in our churches any longer. 4) We have no
real involvement in the communities that we live in, except to try to bring
people to church. There are reasons after reasons that the church today is
not growing. 

You want to grow churches, give up the isolated attitudes that are
prevalent. Stop condemning those that dont have the same standards. Learn
the true meaning of Love. Give to the poor, feed the hungry, care for the
wounded in spirit, heal those that are afflicted, then watch the church
grow.... You will growth unlimited.....

The question is "Who is my brother and sisters?" "Those that do the will of
my Father that is in Heaven"..

Think about it...
