Wow!
Hello world! Today I will be talking about criticism. It amazes me when lives began to change and people get involved in church that used to hate going. They had a drug problem! They had to be drug to church on Sunday and drug to church on Wednesday (Ha! Ha!) Jesus begins to move throughout the community and draw people to church and its wrong to some people. What is wrong with people criticizing another church when there church has not grown in 10 years? I used to get mad at critics but now I love them. They make me want to do more for Jesus! I’ve come to realize if your not getting criticized your not doing something right. I am a member of a fast growing hard working church and the criticism we get is awful. We get criticized by more churches than we do anybody else and that’s sad. We get all kinds of comments from people who have never walked in the doors to check out what Jesus is doing. They jump to conclusions and make up there on lies about it. That’s what most of them are lies! Scripture says that Satan is the king of lies. One place I always go to get advice is the word of God. I realize that Jesus got criticized everywhere he went. He got criticized when he healed the sick, and raised the dead. You know what’s funny the people (Pharisees) that criticized him were not even there to see what he was doing. They just jumped to conclusions and got angry because they were religious but could not perform such things. They could not take credit for what Jesus was doing and they got pissed! One question for you Did Jesus let them slow him down? The answer is NO! So why should the growing churches in America. As long as the Gospel is being taught and everything is about Jesus it will continue to grow. A move of God cannot be stopped! So next time you get criticized for following Jesus and being obedient don’t argue just smile! Have an Awesome day!
