I've been landing the cut for like three days They thought it was sweet and started celebrating They ain't even a deep high, I was orchestrating Raise their toes to the canvas, especially a cave And so this is yet another reason why you need to be careful about the type of church that you go to Even the type of preacher that you listen to I know that he's Hey, demons now let's get in formation In and of itself, I am not opposed to a church having a play A little Easter service even with the lights and the smoke and so forth and the dancing I don't really have a problem with that It's just that when you do it and then why you do it when you want to kind of as he says Push the limits to the edge I want the person who feels lonely and isolated and like God doesn't care I want them to see how amazing Jesus actually is and what God actually did for all of us So I said we're gonna go to the edge on this and they said pasta How far on the edge are we gonna go? I said we're gonna do everything short of sin Oh, y'all I felt the religious people they booties got tight right there And they're in a lot of the issue how far on the edge you want to go Even to the point where you may offend some people or as they say the the religious people Which it makes me wonder who does he think or who does he call the religious people Is it the people that what a whole to the word of God that think that there's something Holy about the word of God and you don't want to kind of dumb it down Those people you know the people that may think that you want to hold to a certain standard and not bring the standard down just for the sake of Reaching people in the world That one that you are bad Yeah, but that's who he got to have a fatty Friends I don't have a fatty You're all we keep telling you it's okay You're a little booty matter too free Yeah, no that don't be discriminating Yeah Not know that friendship with the world is hostility towards God Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God This desire to want to reach the world that's fine we should all want to do so but to what cost Do we compromise the word do we compromise our standing do we present ourselves in a light that makes the world think that Come on in and be exactly what you were How you are as you came in there there is no need to change or as this church. There's no need to be transformed So no you may not wear a yellow and blue checkerboard suit What I do And we can be ourselves in this place and I just thank you Bishop for creating the atmosphere For us to have what you're about to see today in 2015 I became the pastor and I didn't know what a pastor did I don't think that you still know what a pastor does I don't think that you get that I don't think that you get it I with all due respect I just don't think that you get it I'm not sure if you know how a Christian is supposed to behave how a Christian a growing Christian is to comport themselves Let alone a pastor you seem to want to either if you will happen to be saved There's some doubt about that but if you happen to be saved you seem to want to stay in the area or the place of a immature Christian one that's not growing And if that's the case then guess what's going to happen to the members to go to your church Same thing they're going to follow the leave of the pastor and if the pastor skirts the issues and the traditions and the trends of the world Once be like the world and so forth. Well, they're going to want to do they won't see the difference and they're going to want to be the exact same way Peter says that in first Peter 2 2 he says like newborn babies long for the pure milk of the word So that by it you may grow in respect to salvation if you have tasted the kind of the Lord In other words let the word be more important Desire that what's wrong with giving people the word of God on Easter in all places they're going to be there Now if they came to see a show and you give them one they're going to miss our promise you they're going to miss out on the actual word The folks is going to be all the lights all dancing all the scene wow we had a wonderful time That was a super demonstration but then asked them about the word and they'll be excited because they will not know what was said Give them the word you have the ability I think you do the ability to give the word in a way even where it's Entertaining to where it holds them if not then practice that instead of practicing the stage plays and performances and so forth Work on how you deliver the word so that it captivates them let them understand the point of all of this the reason why he died The fact that you as comfortable as you are in your sin will be comfortable on your way to hell but Christ died he paid a price that you couldn't pay Give them the gospel and tell them why he died why he was buried why he was gone for three days Why he was resurrected and then ultimately why he ascended let that be the message that's what they came for You've got people you've got people that you've never seen that tend to not show up here's your opportunity to give them the pure unadulterated Gospel Paul says though speaking about these types of churches that the time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine But rather what they have are itching ears they want to hear something see something Well, they do they will go to find people to preach what they want to hear and the way they want to hear and let's make sure it's Entertaining let's make sure as he says it's not dry or born it's exciting I think I'm getting too much money everybody dead And so while normally I really don't have a problem honestly I don't have a problem with these sort of theatrics in church During a certain I'm doing a service but after a service maybe a special concert or a special play I don't have a problem with that is just that when that takes the forefront of a service and that be the main thing Then we have a problem because we've got people coming to see a performance rather than hearing the word And so I would say I would cost people to avoid those types of churches because this isn't the only one Avoid those types of churches and go to a place to where they appreciate the word because I can promise you that people in the few Rather than being entertained for an hour or two hours these are people that when they hear the word it will take root in their heart And look at their licensey how the word God is growing them growing in them and growing them So I was caution anyone from going to or seeing seeking out places like this And if that's your church you might want to reconsider being at that type of church You might want to go to a place where the word is the most important thing Why? Because it is the most important thing Amen?
