Building the Church in 2008

Intro
-An important subject for the new year

-The building of GOD's house
-Most people aren't concerned
-Alcohol sales are phenomenal in this, our debauched, child murdering nation

-The only hope for our nation is the building of GOD's house one convert at a time

1 There is a house to be built
-The temple of GOD
-Made up of saved people (the spiritually alive)

2 The LORD builds his house
-Using methods that He chooses (found in the Holy Scriptures)
-Anything else is just an hindrance (dead wood)
-Gimmicks, drama, puppets etc.
-How careful was Moses to stick exactly to GOD's plan for the tabernacle

3 There is also a vain way that men try to build GOD's house
-Replacing GOD's work with human ideas
-Worthless conduct
-Labor in vein

-Willow Creek
-Source of the marketing techniques and purpose driven rubbish

-A recent survey by themselves reveals
-They aren't creating solid Christian disciples

-They even admit that they were wrong, calling their plans a 'mistake'

In conclusion

-Forget about the nonsense

-Honor God

-Stand up for the truth

-Stand up for Jesus

Amen
