What changes would you like to see the churches today? wHy? and How?

Question

changes in the churches now? why do you want to change? and how? i need a long answer...

Answer 1

I'd like them to get out of my sex life and to stop telling me who I can love and who I can't. They could also start by focusing on charity and forgiveness. Concepts that the currect forms of Christianity seem to have abandoned.

Answer 2

The churches today have become too much worldly and are not taking the word of God seriously. They have gone aftervain commandements of men and have taken the things of the world and encorporated them into the church. The church has become weak and more of a society or club where people get to meet instead of them meeting God in the Holy Sanctuary.
There are so many things in the Bible which people are not doing and are disrespecting.
Churches of today have become more people oriented rather than conforming to the true word of God. Its more of what does society think? This is the 21st century! But God says "I am the Lord and I change not" and "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever."
The thing which the church was raised up to destory has rather taken the church captive just like Samson of old. I guess its time for the true church of God to cry out "Just once more Lord!" for a complete victory against satan and the world.
The church ought to change and take the complete word of God. This is the main problem with the church, they do not want to take on the whole word because its a hard way and very unpopular with the world. The church chooses popularity rather than follow what the word says.
Its time the church stopped referring to what man says and go back to what the word says. Go back to the original seed, that condition which the church was at pentecost. When Jesus comes back He will not be looking for anything else but that which is like Him and that's the word. The church has to go back to be living epistles read of all men.

Answer 3

The vast majority of Churches today have their focus on the wrong things. They are focused on such things as becoming rich, losing weight, running a business, and other things of things of the world.
We must get our focus on what Gos is concerned with and that is souls!!! We should be doing everything to reach the lost and deceived people with the good news that is Jesus Christ. Time is far to short to be messing around with other things.
Ever since Jesus ascended into Heaven people have said we are in the last days. I am telling you we are no longer in the last "days", but rather we are in the last DAY, maybe even hours, or minutes. Gabriel is tuning his trumpet right now, and Jesus and the Father are talking about His return for His bride.

God is dealing with a lot of Pastors, preachers, evangelists, and others all over the world about this very thing right now. Watch and you will soon be able to see which pastors are hungry for God and those who want to please man. I am and will remain in the first group.

Answer 4

I beleive a church needs to change with the times (like that will ever happen), people can't help who they love, or when they love, and that should be nobody elses business. To me the church and some of the people in it judge more so then others.
I guess I feel like this stronger, b/c I should be shamed to hell b/c I had a baby before I married his father. Doesn't make me anyless of a mother who is married.

Personally I agree with some of the others. Stay out of my sex life, or I may stay our of your church....

Answer 5

lose the old testament laws and focus on christ's teachings--especially the whole whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers that you do unto me thing, because jesus is supposed to live in everybody's heart and you ARE doing it to him--preach compassion and acceptance and quit judging people based on words in a book that was written by men from thousands of years ago. Take part in the community and try, once again to make your community better for all who live in it instead of just protecting the members of your church--gte people involved in helping other people so that they can feel like they are part of something important again instead of just dropping money into the plate--give teenagers a things to do and a place to hang out so that they have something better to do than hang out in the streets--you're right, you do need long answers on this one, because the church seems to have lost everything it had that made it appealing in the past 10-20 years here

Answer 6

I would like to see the churches begin to make disciples instead of church-goers. I rarely hear a message on the subject of denying yourself, picking up your cross and following Christ. I think the American church at least is in a scary state of affairs, and if real persecution ever comes to this country as it has in many parts of the world where believers are paying the ultimate price - 3 pastors were just executed by the Chinese government a few days ago - falsely accused of being involved in a murder plot - anyways if that comes to this nation I'm afraid we are going to see the Scripture fulfilled that says "the love of the many will wax cold". We need a real revival in the Fear of the Lord and we need to stop our eclectic Bible reading - Christians seem to think of the Word of God as a kind of smorgasbord - pick the stuff you like and leave the hard passages - the ones that demand self-denial and obedience. May God have mercy on us !

Answer 7

I would not change anything about the Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses. I believe they are directed by God and see evidence of his blessings in so many different ways. We never pass a collection plate--we know that God will motivate enough people to willingly give that the work will continue until Armegeddon. Our ministers donate their time and work secular jobs for money rather than receiving a salary because we all received the truth for free and believe we should give free. We love everyone--regardless of color, race, country of origin, etc. and we welcome them. We are the same in this country (the United States) and every other country that I know of in that we are willing to die for what we believe and for eachother if that becomes necessary. We use the Bible as our letter from God, reading and studying it daily to make certain we understand and we use the example of Jesus Christ to pattern our lives. Of course, no one is perfect as we all inherited sin from Adam and Eve but we work together and we love eachother in spite of our flaws. It is the best that anyone in this wicked world under Satan's governmental system could possibly hope for and soon our God Jehovah will act on behalf of all who love and obey him.

Answer 8

I would like the Churches of today to teach tolerance, but not to the extend that they allow for the desecration of marriage as many of them have on the issue of same sex marriages. Accepting that this is ok does not make it so in the natural order of things.

Answer 9

i would like to see churches stop practicing anything that Jesus never ask for.

- never put images or status in a church
- don't call this religion christianity, because Jesus didn't give a clear name to his religion.
- get ride of the cross sign, Jesus never said that the cross sign represent my religion, neither will it's a sign of bless. but it's a sign of death.
- charity should be given to the poor, and not only to the church.
- pray directly to God from anywhere.
