Run from Gospels that focus only on success and prosperity. Run! Run from those who use the name of Christ only for personal gain. Run from those that are picking your pocket in the name of Jesus.
Run! Run from Gospels that only focus on self-improvement. How can I? Three steps to a better personality. Three steps to this and four.
Run! Run from churches where men and not Christ are glorified. Run! Run! Body of Christ, run! Get out! Don't touch the unclean thing. Run from churches in America and Canada where there is no Bible.
There's no cross in the theology. There's no soul-searching word. There's no repentance from sin.
There's no mention of the blood of Jesus. Run! It's unclean. Run! Run from churches where the worship leaves you cold.
There is no sense of God because they don't know God. Run! Run from churches where you're comfortable in your sins. That's a table of devils and you come into the house of God and you've got sin in your life and you're not convicted of it.
You're at a table of devils. Run from pulpits that are filled with political men who are using the pulpit of God for a personal political agenda. Run! Run from those who preach division between races and cultures.
Run! Run! Run! Get out! Turn it off! Get away from it! They know nothing of God. Run from ungodly spasmodic movements and endless empty prophesying. Beloved church, run for your life.
Run from preachers that stand and tell stories and jokes. Run like you've never run before. Run for those that are only after your money and they use one gimmick after another.
One foolish thing after another to get your money. Run!
