Church

God is totally changing my idea of church. My idea of church is only a mere human idea that exists in so many ways to glorify man, not the creator of the universe, the creator of church and all.
I realize that I have been carrying an unseen guilt this whole time. I am guilty...

For attending another churches woman's ministry...And I like it.
For attending another church the past couple of weeks.
For being able to discern the voice of God...sometimes so easily.
For listening to motivational speakers and other pastors messages.
For preaching and teaching that don't follow the order of the Book.
For seeing in the spirit.
For my enthusiasm when it comes to Him.
For being bored in certain christian circles.

Man, this list can go on and on and on. I have a lifetime of what man's idea of church is since I grew up in the church. With so many differences and different opinions I was taught that where ever I landed was the right one and all others are not in there right mind. Think about it, is this not what your church is teaching??
If you think not then I challenge you to think again. Oh they ain't gonna tell you straight up, they can't. But if you notice it comes out in other deceiving, manipulative ways. I am not saying that all churches are like this.
The guilt that I carry is man's idea not God's. And I don't want to be entangled in this humanistic, legalistic, prejudice thinking anymore. I want to follow His idea of what the church is and what it looks like. I want to be apart of the Holy Spirits church, the one most like Christ, the One that glorifys His name.
