Lead People to Jesus Not to Church If someone has a fun personality, persuasive speech and elegant words, they can convince practically anyone of practically anything. Pastors are NO exception to this. Many Churches have many members because they have a very charismatic preacher. They get a lot of people into their church and they get a lot of people “saved”. I want to read to you what Jesus said of the religious order in His day, this is Matthew chapter 23 this is verse 15; “WOE to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte (which is a new convert), and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.” Just because pastors and churches are wining disciples into their church does not mean they are winning people into the Kingdom of Heaven, that doesn’t mean they are making disciples of Jesus, they are making disciples of their church. My church when I was a pastor would boast about how many people we brought to Jesus. If kids went to camp it was, “We made this many people Christians.” It is not difficult to get people to believe what YOU want the to believe by giving the ice cream, by giving them bread, chocolate, coffee… If you speak soothing words and THEN ask everyone to raise their hands if they want to accept Jesus, chances are you will get a good alter-call. But that doesn’t mean you have won anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven. In fact, quite the contrary. Even though I worked with students for a long time and supposedly led kids to the Lord, after 7 years of church service Jesus spoke to me and asked me, “How many people have become a disciple because of your ministry.” And in good conscience I could not name Him one name because I just KNEW that those students who had supposedly became Christians where no longer following the LORD, rather they were off smoking pot, partying, getting drunk, living life for themselves. If we really are following Jesus we are fishers of men. It is by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT that we lead people to the LORD. It is NOT because of our church ministry and because we have many elegant words. Are you really with Jesus and are you really leading people to the LORD because you have the Holy Spirit in your life and you are a fisher of men? Or are you like the churches that make proselytes, twice as much a son of hell as themselves? May the grace of Jesus be with you. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGamP1GYHOc

But Still the World Will not Repent God gives His children plenty of time to repent.  The problem is many people are still stuck in the world.  When we read Revelation we see that God allows all sorts of calamities to come upon the face of the world, yet still men and women do not repent of their evil, their witchcraft, their sorcery, following after demons.  Because the world refuses to repent God will let the surrounding nations bring punishment and destruction.  Throughout history God has used the tyrant nations, He has used the infidel, He has used surrounding nations to PUNISH even His OWN children.  Will we serve Jesus Christ and repent of our sins?  Or will the Judgment of God also come upon us because we refuse to humble ourselves before the one true Living God?  Do we serve and obey Jesus Christ?  Or do we worship idols?  May the grace of Jesus be with you. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8q73K22hUU
