Looking for perfect church???!!!

I was looking for the perfect church, so I decided to call the Apostle Paul and ask a few questions. There’s no one better than him to help me find a perfect church, after all, he is the founder of several churches and knows them very well. 🙂

👱🏻‍♂ - Hello! Is this, Paul, the apostle?

🧔🏻 - Yes, it's him!

👱🏻‍♂ - May the peace of Christ be with you! 😅

🧔🏻 - Amen, brother!

👱🏻‍♂- Sorry for the inconvenience, Apostle, but I need your help. It's just that I've been so disappointed in the church I’m in, that now I am looking for the perfect church. I was thinking about the church in Corinth. Is this the perfect church? 😳
🧔🏻- Look, the Church in Corinth has little groups (1 Cor. 1:12,13), envy, strife (1 Cor. 3:3) and issues that end up in the court of common justice (1 Cor. 6:1-2, 4-5), and there are even some people there who commit sexual immorality there (1 Cor. 5:1).🤷🏻‍♂

👱🏻‍♂ - How about the Church in Ephesus? 😁
🧔🏻 - It's a Church based on the Word of God indeed (Acts 20:27), but lately there is a lot of unloving people attending services there (Rev. 2:4).😕

👱🏻‍♂ - I will probably go to the church in Thessalonians then.🙂
🧔🏻 - There are some people who don't like to work there (2 Thess. 3:11).😒

👱🏻‍♂ - Wow, it’s hard, huh, apostle?! What if I go to the church of the Philippians?
🧔🏻- It is a good church, but there are two sisters there called Euodia and Syntyche who have a disagreement and are not talking to each other (Phil. 4:2).

👱🏻‍♂- So I think I'll move to the church in Colossians.
🧔🏻- Well, there are some heretics who are causing confusion there. There is also a group there that is worshiping angels (Col. 2:18).🤷🏻‍♂

👱🏻‍♂- What! 😱 What if I go to the church of the Galatians?
🧔🏻- Well, there are some believers biting and devouring each other over there (Gal. 5:15).😞

👱🏻‍♂ - I didn't know it was so hard to find the perfect church.
🧔🏻- I was even talking to Apostle John and asked how the church in Thyatira was doing, he told me that the members are allowing a woman who calls herself a prophetess to teach about prostitution and idolatry in the church (Rev. 2:20).

He told me that in Laodicea, the church members are far from perfect, for they are proud, materialistic and lukewarm (Rev. 3:14-18). In Pergamum, there are some who follow the doctrines of the Nicolaitans and Balaam (Rev. 2:14-15).

👱🏻‍♂ - You know, Apostle Paul, I've thought of going to the headquarters in Jerusalem, but I heard that there is a lot of prejudice going on there (Gal. 2:11-13), as well as murmurers (Acts 6:1) and some who lie to the apostles (Acts 5:1-11). And now, where do I go, apostle? 😟

🧔🏻 - You need to understand that there is no perfect church as it is made up of human beings! 😌

My advice is, stop constantly criticizing the church leaders and other brothers and sisters of faith always wanting to be right about everything; stop spreading unnecessary negative comments about others' conduct and begin to cooperate with the church to achieve perfection in Christ (Eph. 4:11-13) just as I have been doing (1 Cor. 11:1). Stop seeing people with bad eyes and see them through God's eyes.

Don’t stop going to church just because people are imperfect (Heb. 10:24,25). 😌 Rather help your brethren by counseling and exhorting them in brotherly love (Heb. 3:12,13).

Make yourself available to God (2 Cor. 8:5).

When you go to church, don’t worry whether or not the message will please you, but do so to offer your life as A PLEASING SACRIFICE TO THE LORD! (Rom. 12:1)

*“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.”* (2 Tim. 2:3-5)....

Thank God everyday for what we have!

🍁A repost from someone worth reflecting on: The beginning of 2020 has revealed enough for deep reflection: That giant Australia is not at all invincible from fire… That mighty China could be shaken by enemies that are too small to be seen… That what we view as small is a fully destructive Volcano… That what we see as a basketball star could fall into a deadly crash… Things are, indeed… never too big nor too small… never too high nor too low… never too powerful nor too faint… never too wealthy nor too broke… never too famous nor too ordinary… Whatever our condition is, … we are all equal… the rain falls on the just and the unjust... the sun rises on the evil and the good... we are all important… we are all gifts… our current status does not define us at all… what we have or possess is never a mighty protective armor… So, in life… don’t be rude… don’t be greedy… don’t be selfish… don’t be ill-mannered… don’t be crabby… don’t be wicked… don't be unemp...
