i am going to have to find a new church to go to
the one i've been going to was (imo) SUPER WACK tonight i don't like traditional religious church.. i just don't.. i never have.. i like a church that is Bible oriented not TRADITION oriented this imo is a big problem with churches today.. u go and its boring because the people who are the head of the church are fulfilling traditions as opposed to just teaching something real and applicable there is an unsettling undercurrent at a lot of churches.. "we are going to play the wackest music of all time but if you don't sing along and raise your hands and look like ur into it then something bad will happen to you" a lot of church is for show in my opinion STOP TRYING TO FORCE PEOPLE INTO THINGS WITH MANIPULATION AND PEER PRESSURE IN CHURCH JUST SAY THE MESSAGE AND GO ON ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS i get tired of the awkward silences that are explained as "someone is getting a 'touch' from God" i get tired of the person with the mic never having a message prepared and and they say "i'm going to let the spirit move the message" .... PEOPLE NEED WISDOM NOT YOUR FREESTYLED SERMON VOID OF ANY SIGNIFICANT CONTENT!!!!! i get tired of them pressuring people into actions "come up to the altar and this or that will happen" when in reality God is likely going to deal with each person individually and in different ways at different times blah blah blah <--that's what all this traditional stuff sounds like to me... like it all sounds good on the surface but it has no real power or substance behind it to me lot of church is madd weird and madd fake.. i feel like God changes people who are willing to follow Him and He will change them in His own way, from the inside out and everyone has a different relationship with Christ but the traditional church says: you ain't singin loud you ain't saved you're not doin backflips you're not saved you didn't do altar call and the preacher preached about it for 30 minutes so you must be a sinner STOP WITH THE POLITICS PREACH THE WORD, STOP WITH THE GIMMICKS im totally not going back to the church i've been going to YUCK!!!!!!!!!! so much of church to me is an outward expression when the Bible clearly says MEN LOOK ON THE OUTSIDE WHILE GOD EXAMINES THE HEART STOP TRYING TO IMPRESS PEOPLE AROUND YOU WITH "HOLINESS" NO ONE CARES.. I MEAN WHAT, DO YOU WANT ME TO COVET YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST!? HOW NONSENSICAL WOULD THAT BE!? DONT SHOW ME, SHOW GOD!!!!! my frustration is at level BONKERS right now THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SAY CHRISTIANS ARE SO FAKE.. BECAUSE SO MANY CHURCHES PUT SO MUCH VALUE ON OUTWARD EXPRESSIONS OF 'HOLINESS' IT IS WORTH NOTHING TO GOD.. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? PRAY ALONE IN YOUR CLOSET SO THAT WHAT YOU DO IN SECRET MAY BE REWARDED OPENLY WHEN YOU FAST, DONT MAKE IT KNOWN TO MEN HOW YOU SUFFER, WASH YOUR FACE AND LOOK ALIVE BE CAREFUL NOT TO PRACTICE GENEROSITY IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHERS TO BE SEEN BY THEM, IF YOU DO, YOU WILL HAVE NO REWARD FROM YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN a lot of things in your walk with Christ will be private (not everything, but a lot of it) so stop with the garbage.. at the end of the day, just because ur doin backflips in church DOES NOT MEAN that u didn't fornicate the night before stop praising outward stuff.. stop pressuring people into outward stuff.. if i ever start a church it will be real, everyone will feel comfortable and the word of God will be number 1... NOT TRADITIONS AND FAKE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LOOK HOLY IN FRONT OF OTHERS

Love this post!! And another thing that irritates me about most churches today is the fact that they are most concerned with who has the most members to receive the most money to have the biggest church and of course the preacher can only preach "feel good" messages because if he makes anyone mad they won't do tithes and offering.
