It isn't the real church. It just is not. Perhaps a few of God's children are there. I'm not one to say how many, but the whole system is wordly and deep down I have always known it, in every church institution I participated in, in one way or another. The Lord would only lead me to each place for about a year max and then get me out, quick.
I believe God is calling many of his true children out of counterfeit Christianity, which has spread like wildfire. I will cover that some in the next post (the wildfire part). I saw the need of a transitional post and this is it, explaining my departure from the last church I visited in the last 8 months. I just wanted to clarify that I did not go regularly by any means and that the Lord kept me from getting "plugged in" or sucked into all their little agendas. Having said that, and confirming that I am not a part of that church, my following post will make more sense... Am thankful how the Lord always gets me out at the right time... I know there was a purpose in my going there when I did, and meeting some of the people I did. It remains to be seen whether or not the few individual friendships I thought I made will endure... I hope, but from experience I can't not hold my breath. I know a couple friends have shown real love and I believe that will endure and I hope the church does not corrupt them too much, sad to say. I want to pray for all my brothers and sisters, that they can discern truth from error, by loving the truth enough. And Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The Scriptures also say that the Lord rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). He must be Lord. He must lead, not man. Do we follow men or the Lord? Do we seek the Lord's will in all things, daily? Do we walk in the flesh, or the Spirit? Do we listen more to men than to God?
