altar call.....
« on: September 01, 2003, 09:45:17 AM »
altar call....is a special time of the service, it is the time when people can reflect on their lives and make a choice. i feel altar call is for everyone..including the so-called saints! why do i say it like that? is because i believe in my spirit that a lot of times people who feel they have it, sit back and act as though we are waiting on someone else to join the pack.....but god isnt trying to fill the church with hipocrytes....thats our problem......altar call is for everyone to reflect and make a change! now, people wonder why does the preacher have to talk like everyone is on crack, or strung out on somthing, or is messed up.......i say it is because everyone is........if you are human, you are still holding on to somthing, because it is holding on to you...........i beleive the only thing that can seperate a person from his god is sin!!!!!!!!!and i still am crazy enough to believe people still dont want to deal with sin!!!! but sin is the reason why a lot of us arent where we are supposed to be at in god! in fact the reason why the preacher talks so much after the message is because you wont come on up and change your ways! yes you! the one who thinks you got it together, the one who sit back and feels like we are waiting on you, the one who feels like why dont people get it together, im talking about you, the one who is always looking at someone else..instead of you......you are the one who is messed up! sin sick, and needs jesus!!!! remember.......god said in his word, he uses the foolishness of preaching to confound the wise! so you think you are are so wise, and the preacher is still waiting on you, god is still waiting on you....it doesnt matter if you are the organist, or drummer, or even the preacher himself!........god is waiting on you!everyone is messed up, and needs jesus!!!! when i go to church, i actually walk through the doors as if i still need to be saved, if for nothing else i need to be saved from what i've been through this week, or yesterday! so i walk in the door with expectation of the move of god in my life........i dont have time to worry about someone else.....its me, standing in the need of prayer......lord deliver me from my self.........and my attitudes towards how you choose to deal with your people.........we all need help every day........and all of us have fallin short of your glory!! i realize you are waiting on me!! so talk on preacher, until i decide what i need to do......remember, god chose preacher for you!!!!!!!!!....god doesnt need to preach to himself........lol it's because you wont get it together unless the preacher does a flip over the pulpit! after all...its the only thing you keep remembering from the many messages he has sweated and labored to orate!!!!!!!!! this is why the preacher talks so much after the message, this is why the preacher talks like everyone is messed up......its because you are and you trying to fake like you got it together because you been playing the organ for twenty yrs, and playing the drumms for fifteen yrs, or preaching for forty yrs.....god has been and still is calling for a church wothout spot or wrinkle......or a blemish.....jesus came to wash our sins away, but we wont allow that, because we are still holding on to somthing........when are we going to get it together? so preach preacher,,,do what god told ya to do!!!!!!im still deciding......but i know god is waiting on me!!!!!!!!! gieres
gieres.....

SOOOOOOOOO TRUE. I agree 100% with you on this one. There have been times that I have refused to do the altar call so I could get out of the pulpit and get on the altar. My Pastor allows me to do it now after I explained to him I'm no longer interested in looking holy on the outside when I'm sin sick and messed up on the inside. God Bless and keep on keeping on.

Glory to God in the highest.  You have just preached a sermon to me.  I thank you for allowing God to use you to speak to me.  For a long long time I have been telling people that we ourselves are our BIGGEST problem.  Yes, we are sinners saved by grace and we keep on sinning and that's why we need to keep on coming to the altar.  Nooooo, but we're afraid that people might thing we're not saved.  We keep allowing the enemy to play mind games with us.  Thus we sit in church a perpetrate a Spiritual Fraud, like we're all of that.  But I hear Paul saying, He who thinks himself to be something is NOTHING.  He that exalts himself shall be abased, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted.  Coming to the altar let's God know that you know you're nothing without Him, you can do nothing without Him, it signifies to God that you know you have not arrived.  So to those who sit back and refuse to keep on coming - my prayers are for you to come to the realization that until we have made it into heaven we have'nt arrived yet.  Hey, I think I'll have to speak on this topic "Keep On Coming".  Yea, we need to keep on coming because we keep on sinning.  Just like you said, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, only one is perfect - what's His name?  JESUS.  God bless!  And to all of you have a great Memorial Day!
