My thoughts today....  

 When sick and hurt people go to the hospital, the nurses and doctors don’t continue to tell those they are meant to treat, that they are sick and hurt making them feel worse. They treat them and love on them. Why is it that in some of the church buildings people are treated the exact opposite? Those who come already know their sick and need a savior, they don’t need to be constantly reminded of it, condemning them and telling them how wicked they are. They didn’t come to be attacked. They came to hear about JESUS!!!  For he is the one who heals and transforms. The church buildings are a hospital for the broken. Not a house of pain and condemnation.

The Bible clearly says: “So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.”
Romans 8:1-2 NLT 

If your a church who constantly condemns those who come, I pray they stop coming!!!! Your nothing but a pit of vipers. A bunch of self righteous pious Pharisees looking for someone to bully cause they aren’t as SICK AS YOU!!!! They don’t need you, You need them!!! Apostle Paul wrote this story told by Jesus, in Romans 8. 

The parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. 

“Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’ “But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.””
Luke 18:9-14 NLT
