Stay away from Churches that do not preach the Gospel.
-
Stay away from churches that teaches sugar coated Gospels.
-
Just bcuz u go to church, doesn’t mean ur saved!
To be saved you have to have a one-on-one personal relationship with Jesus Christ and claim him as your personal Lord and Savior who died for your sins so that you can be free.
-
You may have been baptized in the church, have been raised in the church, served in the church, you could have married in the church, dead in the church, until you have been veiled in the church and still end up in Hell. Perhaps you were only in church and not in Christ.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 (KJV)
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. -
A church without a foundation is a bottomless pit.
-
You’re saved by Grace through faith and not by being a church member or doing good works
-
That the artist is sanctimonious and believes that Christianity is a relationship, not a religion.
-
It is obviously a rather jaded and cynical depiction of what the Christian church is to someone who does not understand it.
-
Not all who say “Lord, Lord” will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Many will fall away ? -
Being a faithful member of a church “building” does not mean you a member of the ekklēsía of scripture.
-
not all who go to church are heaven bound.
-
Narrow is the path!!
-
“Spirit is willing but the Flesh is weak”
-
In the last days there will be a great falling away of the church. Real faith in Jesus is found on the streets or with friends. You’re welcome to go to church but a lot of churches are lukewarm and twist scripture.
-
Living religiously is different from who live in the Gospel.
-
Instead of a cross on the steeple it should say Mainstream Media in neon lighting
-
Catholic! Any church that preaches, anything besides the gospel and Jesus being the only way!

Being in Christ and in the church are two different realities. Being spiritual and being religious are two different realities. Worship Prayer, bible reading, fasting, meditation, going to church, doing offering, etc. and practicing the commandments of Christ Jesus are two different realities. It’s not true that every church goer necessarily is a Christian, he/she can be hypocrite, terrorist, mischievous, murderer, disobedient to the parents, dishonest to the neighbours, indiscipline in life and irregular in work, etc. It’s true that Christ Jesus doesn’t like such people but still He loves them and waits for their being in Him so that they may become a Church of faithful, obedient, honest, sincere, disciplined, loyal, sacrificial, practical People.
Church labelled people will not survive and church-like and Christ-like living people will survive.
In this picture the building known and seems as the church, even being on the edge is not falling but the people going in the church are not the church that’s why they falling down to death. If the people going to church would be the church, they might not be falling as the building is standing even being at the edge.
Survival is not in the church, rather being the church. -
Sadly, our culture can be very “churched” and go through the motions. They like the idea of heaven, “fire insurance” and be a part of a happy group. That does not help yield the heart to repentance and sanctification! Many will say, “Lord, Lord..” and in response he will say, “depart from me, I never knew you”!
-
Christ must be the foundation of the Church!
-
We don’t earn status in God’s eyes; God must credit righteousness on the basis of faith. Psalm 32:2
-
Depart from Me, I never knew you!
-
It’s only the expression of opinion by someone who lacks understanding of biblical beliefs.

Church is not something you go to, church is not a building, “church/ekklesía(greek)” means a people called out, assembly. The church is the body of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ did not die for a building, He died for people/sinners, the church is a spiritual building build on Christ as the corner stone. Church are the regenerated people, born again christians, so, attending church meetings or going to church buildings does not save you are make you a christian, God gives eternal life to the believers in the bíblical gospel of Jesus Christ and they are the church, sealeb with the Spirit(Holy Spirit) of the promise. Eph. 1:13; 2:19-22; John 3:15; 1 Cor. 12:27; 1 Peter 2:4-8; Titus 3:5.

people in the 21st century have lost knowing God through the Bible by just going to church 1-2 hours a week. God is looking for those who are “devoted to him” (Jeremiah 30:21). it is a spiritual happening of what happened during King Josiah’s reign when the people of Israel cleaned the temple and finally found the book of the law which was in the temple the whole time! the Bible has been lost in simply going to church! there are 40k+ Christian denominations nowadays, it’s has become CHURCHianity and not CHRISTianity. the challenge is to go back to the roots, the original way of following Jesus. my friends, I study the Bible with many christians, atheists, agnostics, muslims, jews, etc to really help people get serious about their relationship with God. is there anyone here that would be interested in studying the Bible Virtually, I’m willing to bend my schedule! please, PM me.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21
-
Without personal relationship with God, going to Church still leads to hell.
-
There are religion that seems lead to heaven but at the end thereof is hell.
-
Is that Joel olsteen church ?
-
Churchianity and Christianity are two completely different things.
-
The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord. In Him, true believers are united by faith and are compelled to fulfill His Great Commission.
-
It’s a big problem with the foundation!
-
It’s a foundation less church!
-
The church house is not built on a solid foundation.
-
What shall we do if the foundations are removed
-
Putting your faith in the building and those within instead of God is like willingly walking off of a cliff. The minute you see your church doctrine as infallible and can’t read the Bible without this lense that’s when you are already gone.
-
The church is failing it’s people.
-
A strong visual of the current situation of the church : apostacy v v.
-
this picture is an illustration of many who go to church and sit in the pews, who will die and go to hell because they are not born again, or they are going to a building which looks like a church, that doesn’t preach THe message of the cross. “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God”. Thats what the illustration of the picture is. Acts 17:30 ,The times of ignorance, God overlooked, BUT now commands all people everywhere to repent..
-
That’s the system of false religion Satan has build through centuries to dammed people into hell.
-
The church building can’t save you, salvation is through Christ alone
-
A church that it’s message is man centred not Christ centred
-
not a real positive picture, people go to church and fall off a cliff? there should be a ladder into heaven.
-
A building can’t save you, but Jesus can.
-
A church without the message of Biblical salvation
-
There is a river at the base of the cliff. Baptismal service today?
-
APOSTASY OF THE CHURCH
-
That 90% of people in church or church members are hell bound and don’t know it as they walk in the front door!
-
There is a way that seems right to a man yet the end thereof is death.
-
