SO FAR !!!

Good morning an update of what happens when we teach, the Bible in Sunday/School or in other venues of teaching scripture. Many have said they enjoyed my teaching, yet i must say all the glory goes to Jesus. I can only take credit for trying very hard to study,keeping a fresh desire to search scripture and then fill voids in churches that need teachers. I will mention some observations i have been effected by personally.
Sunday School seems to be the one event in churches today that can be done with or without. Food fellowship, music, and then Preaching, and all these have no time limit. Now Bible study of any kind takes a back seat to all the others mentioned. Bells ring for dismissal on only the Sunday School. Wow. Have you listened to some of your members views on Bible doctrine? So many people in the wrong denomination these days. So many are not even aware of the beliefs of the church they attend. Some just think they know.
Most churches have what they call Articles of faith, yet most of their members have no clue what they are, or what they say.
Most church goers do not support any teaching whatsoever in their church. Lets sing and feel good, lets eat and joke with each other and feel good, and lets hope the Preacher can make us feel good and just in case he does not....then we can tolerate anything for an hour. Teaching breaks down the preaching, to where the rubber meets the road. It explains to us exactly what certain Scriptures mean in our lives. The preacher merely acts as the cheerleader for the Word. My mention of the preacher is in no wise speaking bad about him. I can do that later if the Lord leads that direction. Let me end this this way.....A greater desire to study and share the Word of God will lead to a much closer walk with God. I know because it works for me. Also i must add that i am not just getting this off my chest(so to speak) because these issues seem to be of epidemic proportion. So i expect to have to deal with them more as i move forward.  I will next give a brief comment or two about proper behavior in church. It to has become more and more an issue. With God's help we will address it soon. Amen.
