The Type of Church Satan Loves

I saw this on a friend's site and couldn't help but share it. There is so much truth in this.

  • Sit in pews and wait for the sinner to come to you
  • Preach about God but prove you don't know Him
  • Preachers and teachers aren't a Voice, just an echo
  • Stress membership but not relationship
  • Doesn't make repentance and righteousness necessary to follow God
  • Spend more money on themselves than the poor
  • Spend their time convincing themselves they are OK
  • Lives don't really have to change
  • Aren't known for prayer and fasting
  • Known for programs and ad campaigns
  • Don't believe in healing or miracles
  • The only fellowship is looking at the back of heads and a handshake out the door once a week
  • Exalt individual ministers
  • Forget the priesthood of all believers
  • Spend lots of money on average Christian entertainment
  • Don't seek a move of the Holy Spirit
  • Focus on the cares of this life
  • Feel impressed by the famous and wealthy
  • Don't expose sin
  • The women do all the work of the Church
  • Where the opposite sex are not brothers and sisters but potential suitors
  • Where you do not work out your salvation with fear and trembling
  • Where you will not learn a new song but squeeze to the old ones
  • The scripture is not read
  • Missionaries are not sent
  • Leaders are not raised up
  • Discipleship is delegated to a Sunday School class
  • Men have no integrity
  • Women have no purity
  • People have no modesty
  • You laugh at sin instead of weeping

The devil loves that kind of church!
