Why I Do Not Attend Religious Organizations...

9/25/2024

I am an individual with a strong faith in God, and my walk with him is a very
personal walk. 
For years, I attended religious organizations, and their services. 
Now, in my latter years of life, I no longer attend religious organizations or synagogues.
I am not going to say, it is bad to go to a religious organization, because even Jesus said
that we are to listen to what "they" the preachers say, for they speak the truth.
There is another part, of what Jesus said...
If you attend a religious organization, I hope it is to learn the truths that are spoken.
I hope that you use those truths in your own lives, to be a better human being.
I hate to say it, but I think we all know, there exists a lot of politics in a religious organization.
Notice, I do not refer to a religious organization, as a "Church"...
That is because, you can NOT attend a "Church"...
You can attend a religious organization, and you can attend a synagogue.
I believe God refers to the "Church", as his people.
We are the Church, Me and You, the believers in Christ.
So why do I no longer attend religious organizations?
Years ago, I approached most of the largest religious organizations in Charlotte, NC.
I asked those who commanded those religious organizations, to help me build great
initiatives for God, in so, those initiatives could help the lives of the less fortunate. 
These leaders, of these great religious organizations, are what I call, "Doubters and Dividers". 
They are leaders, that fail to remember God's command for God's church, that it work as
one, and NOT apart. 
They also doubt that greater initiatives for God, can be created by anyone other
than themselves. 
These are leaders, whom ask communities to help them build million dollar life centers,
that are paid for within six months.
I ask a question, If I had stood in the presence of Jesus, and asked Jesus, to help me build 
great initiatives, that would magnified God's will, would Jesus have denied me?
I think we all know the answer to that question.
I am not saying, that all religious organization leadership are "Doubters and Dividers".
But I am saying, those I asked, they are.
I will close to say, we all know, politics play a great role in our society and politics are alive
and well at religious organizations, as it also plays a role in businesses.
I believe, God, does NOT want politics to be within the hearts and minds, of his Church.
God's will is simple, "That a life would be saved"...
I have watched most my life, where the people and leadership of religious organizations
​failed to work together with others, to broaden initiatives, that serves God's will. 
But let us not be burdened, by the choices of others.
Each of us, must do our best, to go into the world, even if we stand by ourselves,
to do the simple will of God.
Do not hold bad against others, for they will one day see the truth, which they
​can't see now.
They will one day see how "Unity" is defined through God's own eyes.
So, if you feel, you were let down by a religious organization in some way, let that not
discourage you to continue your own individual walk with God, and doing good along
the way.
Go speak to the lost, that a soul is found, I assure you, God will hold that action way
above the actions of those who raise a 10-million dollar life center in his name.
Your individual walk with God, it can make a difference.
 Go out and be the light and the truth.
