CIC26: Celebrity In Christ Episode 26.
TOPIC: *Sunday Church COULD Be A Distracting Community*
The Church, while offering community, can drown out that *still small voice of the Holy Spirit with noise, programs, and activities.*
When Chosen Ones step away from the church, they often find they are able to hear God's voice more distinctively without the distractions of organised event and hassle and bustle of church life.
The Soul is free to connect with the Divine in a deeper way.
*SOLITUDE FOR THE CHOSEN ONES ISNT LONELINESS, IT IS A SACRED SPACE WHERE COMMUNION WITH GOD BECOMES MORE INTIMATE AND MEANINGFUL*
Luke 5:16 says, "But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray". This verse shows that Jesus made a conscious effort to find time alone to pray with God, even though it was difficult for him with the crowds.
This verse encourages people to find time alone with God. Fight to find that time. Trust that even when it's not possible, do the best they can to withdraw and pray.
*SOLITUDE IS NOT ONLY NECESSARY, BUT IS ALSO A GIFT*
It's in the quiet moments, free from distractions that we come to understand our purpose more and fully.
Stepping away from the church doesn't mean stepping away from faith. Many people find that their faith grows stronger outside of the institutions called the churches.
Without the pressure to conform to church norms, there is freedom to explore faith on a more personal level.
*THIS ALLOWS FOR A DEEPER EXPLORATION OF THE SCRIPTURES, PRAYER, AND MEDITATION* Practices that are often rushed or overlooked in the busy schedule of church programs.
Matthew 6:6 says, "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you".
In this verse, Jesus teaches his followers to pray in private, away from the crowds and distractions. He explains that God knows what people need before they ask and that praying in secret allows people to focus on God and sense his grace.
In Matthew 6, Jesus also explains that good deeds should be done out of sincere devotion to God, not for other people's approval. He also warns against excessive worry, which can interfere with faith in God.
In SOLITUDE, we believers can focus on developing a direct relationship with God rather than relying on intermediaries like pastors or church leaders. A compromised CHURCH, pastor, or leader will only lead you to COMPROMISE, AWAY FROM JESUS.
*REMEMBER:* 1st Corinthians 15:33 says "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners."
