Do Those In Church Want A Relationship With Jesus?

I know of a church that has a big “title.”

But, on the subject of holiness,

 they appear to be “idle.”

They can sing, dance, and “hit their groove…”

But anything that appears HOLY seems far removed…

Many of them seem caught up, in the entertainment.

When it comes to scripture…  They seem “complacent.”

As long as you “move in the spirit.”  “You’re cool.”

“Why should we go by an old fashioned set of rules?”

I wonder how many have a close

relationship with our Lord?

What kinds of treasure, in their hearts, have they stored?

Anyone can claim to be a Christian. 

And “have the power.”

Where would we be...

If Christ came this very hour?

To those who claim “to be filled with the spirit.”

It’s one thing to claim it.  Another to live it.

Our spiritual walk isn’t gauged by…

 “How we dance or speak in an unknown tongue.”

But our commitment and love

 for God’s anointed son!

Our hearts is what really

matters the most!

Not by how much one may

 “move in the Holy Ghost.”

God’s challenge to everyone

 across our great nation…

Is to return to our first love…  The God of salvation!

Serving Jesus with all of our

 heart is truly the key…

In being the kind of person,

that Christ wants us to be!
