Greetings and welcome to A Simple Layman. If you are satisified with the status quo in the Church today, this site is definitely not for you. However, if you have ever wondered if there is not more to the Christian experience than what we know........read on.
Is the devil the real problem or are WE the real problem?
If WE are not the real problem then we certainly are the devils biggest helper.
I personally do not think that God has ANY problems with the devil, people ( that is you and me brother) are the only REAL problem God has!
So, what do you think is the REAL purpose of church? If you said to complete the 'Great Commission', you have been listening to too many preachers who missed the point of Paul's gospels!
In the espistles, we are instructed again and again, to pray that we will GROW in the knowledge of God.
Be honest now, how much have we GROWN in the knowledge of God, since we first believed?
What does most preaching these days, have to do with GROWING in our knowledge of the LORD?
One serious problem as I see it, in the Church today is the fact that the primary focus of most teaching (?) is how to access the Blessings and Favour of God. While almost NOTHING is presented on how to encourage His PRESENCE!
If you were to acquire each and every Blessing in the natural realm which God can bestow and miss the Blessing of His Presence..............you have NOTHING!!!
