Ok, so this subject is something that has bothered me for some time now.
I've always wondered why there are some "christians" out there that for some reason or another have decided that their purpose here on earth is to be other "christians" and churches critics. They are very sensitive to anything and everything about churches ways and christian beliefs. They will come to church. Sit alone, watch every move of the pastor, observe every light, chair, tv screen, analyze wether the church has spent too much money on equipment, wether or not the pastor delivers the message "the way they thought was correct" and so on.
They are usually the ones who don't have a "home church" because all they do is look for reasons to make a fuss about what the church did wrong, how the pastor spoke, how flashy the stage was...
Now dont get me wrong, certainly we have to search for a church that we connect with and feel we are getting fed from but why look for negativities every sunday morning?
If you look for flaws, you will find them.
No person or church is going to be flawless. The beauty of it is, we are all searching for one thing, one purpose, and one goal but why cant we do it all together?
1. God is our only critic.
-He is the only one to know wether or not we are living our lives right, He is the only one who knows all the answers to our questions, how we are supposed to do things and so on..
2. Isn't being the "critic" just another name for a judgement?
crit⋅ic
[krit-ik] –noun| 1. | a person who judges, evaluates, or criticizes: a poor critic of men. |
| 2. | a person who judges, evaluates, or analyzes literary or artistic works, dramatic or musical performances, or the like, esp. for a newspaper or magazine. |
| 3. | a person who tends too readily to make captious, trivial, or harsh judgments; faultfinder.
This isn't something im mad at, just something that confuses me. Why do people who talk about why they hate the way things are done not put effort into making a difference? Why do they continue to keep getting disappointed in people and church when its common knowledge that non of us have it all together?? We never will...
I apologize, i realize this post is pretty scattered around..
Anyway. Just a thought. Feel free to comment. I would love answers, input, advice...
"But why do you judge your brother? or why do you set at nought
your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgement seat of
Christ. For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow
to me, and every tongue shall confess God. So then every one of us shall
give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more:…"
