Dr.Owens Give Me One Good Reason Not to Leave the Church!

Posted on 29 September 2010. Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

This question was presented to me by one of my readers who is currently challenged in her faith. She mentioned that as a result of all  the media blitzs, videos, statements and blog-posts(www.askdro.com and I approve of this commercial) she has become a little disenchanted. Below is my response.

I can give you more than one reason, I can give you  three reasons  you should NOT leave the church:

  1. Relationship-By the fact that you need to ask this question, let’s me know that you KNOW HIM!
  2. Faith-Faith is to be tested and tried. Not to lay dormant…
  3. God is not a man that he should lie…. However man/woman will! Remember that the soul is willing, but the flesh is……

Now readers I need your HELP.  I need you to help me generate a list to be published for the soothsayers.  We need to blow- up this blog post with reasons why people should stay put and not leave the church. I am sure that many of you have some ideas, so hit up this post and help me create a comprehensive list to encourage this young lady and others who are considering leaving the church!  No silence please…..

    A good reason not to leave, references of the original Christian church is found in Acts 2 and Romans 16:16. Open invitation, meet me over at West End Church of Christ one Sunday off Ralph Abernathy :) Leadership, structure, and business ran as Bible commands

    One good reason not to leave the church is because the church has never gone wrong. The church has never lied. The church has never hurt anyone. The church has never molested or abused anyone. Christ is the true church. The problem is some of the fools who join the church mess up and then tarnish the image or reputation of the church. The church as an organization is a place to seek solace, comfort, fellowship, peace and joy. No one should ever leave or join a church because of the people…they are fallible. The organized church has come to be used as a social outlet, a dance club, a dating service and an entertainment center. I do not believe that was God’s purpose for the church. Church attendance MUST be about God and His Son or it is a waste of time.
