Is it Church Hurt Or You Didn't Want To Be Held Accountable?

 Is it Church Hurt Or You Didn't Want To Be Held Accountable? 

 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”

Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ ”

20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.


I had a "friend" the apostrophe meaning they're no longer my friend, who stole from the offering, they were troubled as they say so the pastor would hold them accountable, unfortunately, they left the church, how many people do this they leave the church angry, bitter or upset because they didn't get what they want or didn't want to be held accountable like the rich young ruler in the above church Jesus told him what to do, but because it wasn't what he wanted to hear he walked away never to hear from them again, just kike many ex Christians who were held accountable and are screaming church hurt, and making all sorts of disgruntled social media posts or Youtube episodes about their ex-church?


Church hurt leads some people to leave the presence of God for example cases like being molested, abused, raped even being bullied and harassed which are understandable and we must pray for healing and justice for these people but there are some reasons like being rebuked by a church leader, pastor not saying hello to them or someone trivial, and this is where the devil puts pride in people to leave, we don't like to be corrected or rebuked, we like to be in our ego, and this is sad we don't leave our jobs, family or sports team when they let us down or correct us so why would leave the presence of God? 


Our salvation can't be toyed with and I'm not talking about a church or spiritual institution, we can't leave for trivial reasons because we are in our feelings, or no one can tell us anything, let God use the ushers, pastor and church leaders to hold us accountable, a rebuke is sometimes is what's needed to shake up our faith, sometimes it's even God speaking to us through that correction don't be like the religious people who were offended by the gospel of Jesus then they plot to kill Jesus.

Church Hurt

Church Hurt   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 For week’s I didn’t know how to start this blog, as many pushed me to do this blog, because church hurt is a sensitive subject to talk about where many have given up, many are bitter and many like me, not anymore gave up on the church and questioned the Christian community (DISCLAIMER - THIS IS NOT TO EXPOSE ANYONE WHO I FELT ATTACKED BY AS NAMES/ORGANISATIONS WON’T BE MENTIONED THIS IS TO HELP NOT PUT DOWN OR CRITICIZE). So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I got over my church hurt 5 years ago, and I compare church hurt to one of Killmonger (Yh I’m using a Black Panther analogy, don’t cry, don’t beg about spoilers you’ve had more than a month to watch it!!!! Lool) so back to my point Killmonger is those who’ve gone through church hurt, Killmonger who is Black Panther’s long lost cousin and arch neme...

Spiritual Priorities

If you ask me "what's the main principle of being a Christian?" I would tell you it's to put God and the things of God FIRST!!!!!!! But this is the thing that I don't see much of Christians in this era, most of us don't value our spiritual priorities or sadly don't have any. What do I mean by spiritual priorities? It's how we prioritize the things of God and how we serve God in our day to day lives. This is what saddens me, slowly and slowly many Christians put God and their faith as the last thing on their list of priorities. There's always an excuse why we didn't go to church, why we didn't pray, why we don't seek or fast and so on and so on, because we put our lives, the things of this world and our busy schedules before God. Okay it doesn't help that we live in the era of technology and demanding work and commitment schedules in life but surely if we serve a great God surely we can make time for him in a 24 hour day???

The Same Energy You Have For Beyonce, Have For Jesus

The Same Energy You Have For Beyonce, Have For Jesus “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ” Matthew 6:33 Disclaimer: What I’m about to talk will be sensitive as talking about spiritual priorities will offend some as it can be a touchy subject; this blog is to educate, help and inspire other Christians to put God first in everything. As someone who didn’t have any spiritual priorities over 3 years ago I have no right to judge or shade anyone, which is not my purpose or aim of this piece. The title must’ve got heads spinning and this is what I intended to do, because like I do, I always point out what wrong goes on in the Christian community and give a solution. We Stan celebrities, and when I mean Stan, if you don’t know the term from the iconic Eminem song, I mean radically idolize celebrities such as Beyonce where her fan base goes to far as insulting people online who don’t like her music, to even take a...
