Comparing church to business

YEAH. There is pretty no difference between church and business. They are both run alike

Guilty of 6, 7, 9 and 12. Father please forgive me for i know not what am doing.......... Promise to turn a new leaf as regards these. Thank you for you have answered my prayers....... In Jesus Name i have prayed....... Amen.

HMMM The same thing with me, am almost guilty of all but the only different is that i used to go to church early, Do you know i have to bookmark it. The reason why i left my former church was because i was ask to write a letter. May God forgive us and strengthen us. Today i almost not absent from the church because of my clothe. And u would not blame me much for that, due to the way people will look at you if you did not dress properly. I left home on Thursday morning, my work is 24hrs in and out only for my colleague to called me on phone that he was very sick and my church is very close to my office in v.i do you know i was relieved this morning, yet today is the day of our anivasery, it is not possible for me to go home and comes back again, so i just have to made up my mind and summoned courage to enter into the church. Yes they were all surprised but no one asked me any question why i dressed that way to church even on the anniversary day.

Moreover the love of the brethren have actually waxed cold.

Question:
Is there anyone in your church? .

Go back to the scripture and read the new testament to find out who qualifies as a Pharisee ..... But to help you , they actually are the opposite of everything you scribbled here ..The only point of departure is that they believe that salvation is by work whereas Christ and the apostle says salvation is by grace , faith on the finished work of Christ in the cross
