Churchianity vs. Following Jesus

Albuquerque NM

Description

I'm looking for a fellowship of people who love and follow Jesus (at least to the best of our ability.) I'm not personally interested in a conventional church with non-profit status and a specified building. I am of the strong persuasion that the American church has gotten things backwards. We are expecting secular culture to beat down the doors of our establishment to participate in what amounts to not much more than entertainment. There's very little substance left in the American church. If there were, the thought of church would make us think of in-between Sundays with "boots on the ground," shutting our flapping lips most of the time and displaying love in action instead of in words. We've had enough to say and, quite frankly, it has caused secular culture to metaphorically vomit. Jesus' love was displayed in sacrifice, but we sacrifice very little. I've seen "Christians" on both the right and left side of the political spectrum place their agendas higher in priority than God's Kingdom kissing earth. Jesus unequivocally said that His Kingdom was NOT if this earth. Make no mistake, all governments with their various factions are doomed to nothing better than total failure. We're it not so, Jesus wouldn't have to return a second time to make everything right again and rule on this earth. He is the one and only person who is truly qualified to sit on any throne. Therefore, I cry out Maranatha! Lord, come quickly. If you look at the first church in Acts, ministry was primarily done in the streets with periodic meetings (usually in homes) to reconvene and encourage each other. The works of Jesus are not being done to simply love people and show His power. It's far time that we are too be SEEN and not heard. This is what changes lives. I want to connect with people in my own community here in the South Valley of Albuquerque. I would encourage others in this area to do the same. Go out in groups and just love people where they are at in life. It's not that hard. As for me, if you have noticed the decades-old paradigm of American "churchism" not being effective, there is a reason for that and I want to connect with you since noticing its lack of substance would have to mean that your priorities are in good alignment in terms of God's Kingdom and it's differentiations from the status quo of Churchianity. Let's talk if that's you. Let's MAKE things happen instead of talking about it once a week on Sundays.
