i wish i could print this out and distribute on sunday.
How long are we going to go on like this … people play politics in church to become deacons or heads of units, yet they come out of church and fold their arms.

People, i just came across this speech (questions and answers) involving Pastor Tunde Bakare and the church. I hope you will check it out.

It is here: http://www.pointblanknews.com/os2482.html It supports what CM has been saying. This is one of the many things he said

“In Nigeria, I don’t see the difference between the man who goes to church and the man who doesn’t. I don’t see the difference between the one who calls the name of God and the one who doesn’t anymore. Why? Because immediately there’s crisis or corruption, you find area pastors and senior leaders participating in it. So you have status quo churches and churches who are asking for change and neither is exclusive to any denomination. I’ve seen Anglican priests and bishops who are very forthright. I’ve seen Catholic priests who are very forthright. I’ve seen Penterascals, who call themselves Pentecostals. I’ve seen Pentecostals who are upright. So you cannot really say who is where. But if that is going to change, all hands will have to be on deck.”

But my points exactly, we should make our investments in the head! The Church shouldn't be you and I, the church is you and I. The organized church is the organization of you and I and our kind… and we need to move… or we'll be replaced.

Very simple thing to do @Deolu,(We can give billions to support certain courses, but if the head is sick our investments on any part of the body will soon rot.)
the church should be you and I not the building. the bible says the disciples were called christains because they were christlike.
@Okoromogba, wow you hit the nail on the head and your definition of judas is hillarious.
May God Help us

Interesting…I didnt know i have missed out in issues like this. Church relevance, i think i am the church and if i am not relevant in pursuing the right thing and doing it, then i am setting a part for illusions. Its a pity that many of us dont understand scriptures and have become dogmatic due to what have been given to us as doctrine. There are so many pastors who dont believe the church has a part to play in gorvernance and they teach their congregation such. The shameful thing is that, the christians so called believe such and leave as such. God want us to praise him in all areas of our lives including gorvernance. Rulership is of the lord, but today, the story is different. Judah and Judas means praise but the difference between the two is that Judas is Praise that betrays God. May God help us to see beyond doctrines and learn to worship God truely.

This is a wake up call to the church as a group and the church as individual. At time to dare the so called game-politics and turn the table around from dirtiness to cleanliness so generation to come can say politics is a clean game. only the church-light can do it.

I guess we need to personalize the ‘church’ to each person…what happens in politics, economy, education etc is the fault of you and i

Yes, we have to rise to the occasion. However, our political arena is not save for a lone ranger righteous man. We all need to go together so that we can constitute a majority, because politics is a game of number. Deolu, thanks for the post.
