I felt closer to the Lord, was filled daily with His Word, and grew in my faith. Plus many other gifts were bestowed upon me. One of the earliest negative memories I had, even in my infancy as a believer, was that people seemed to be spewing out scriptures either in some strange harsh authority or in a flippant manner to make a point. These expressions were hollow. I am convinced that believer and unbeliever recognizes authentic heart felt conviction. If we all fell down on our knees and begged God to give us a right spirit and create in us a clean heart and stayed in prayer until it really happened – and stayed in prayer to remain in this wonderful condition – then I believe these “monsters” (on either side) would soon be dispelled for how could they endure such Light and Truth. The issue, to me, is the church. I believe the church is every believer in Jesus Christ. Until we become Christ-filled and Holy Ghost filled these and other problems will constantly infect the Holy Body of Jesus. Often the leaders in churches simply reflect the congregants.

My words are offered as my opinions. This is one of the most important topics for Christians today. It is the very reason many Christians simply cannot abide attending church. We are all losers because of corrupt dogma. My prayer is that we will have a Holy Spirit revival and every Christian will become full of fire and glory.
