Poison

What is there to do other than pray for someone who is poison in a church?  When people leave a church because they do not agree with the change that is happening, or lie about why they are leaving.  Is the church better off without that person?  Or should the church contact that person and try to get them to come back?  I personally believe in order for a church to grow for the better it is sometimes better for the poison to leave.  If those people cannot come to grips that life changes everyday and a church needs to change to become appealing to people who need him more than anything.  Plus is the poison of the church just wants to be at the church and that is it, then they truly are not part of the church.  To be a part of the church you have to be part of the church.  You should want to volunteer your time, whether it is to be involved in greeting, nursery, children's ministry, a life group or the service projects.  People who just want to be at church to say to the world I am a Christian I go to church on Sunday's and that's it, may not be a true Christ like follower.  Now if those people leave the church and get involved at another church you can be thankful that they are still following the teachings of Christ and pray they are finding peace in their decision.  I am very excited about the road my church is on and those who are not should get off the ride at the next station because in order for us to reach the lost we need to all be united and be excited for what God has in store for us.

Have a blesses day
