McChurch

We do McChurch today, pure and simple. We visit churches like we do fast food restaurants and we want a menu that fits our felt needs rather than what Jesus desires. Give us a little McReligion, but not too much of it. We will tolerate a McSermon if the McPreacher doesn't go overtime or scatch us too often where we don't think we have an itch. Church had better be exciting and entertaining and filled with lots of McGoodies, or we will take our two dollars someplace else. "Meet my felt needs or else." This is not, I repeat NOT, what the Lord had in mind, in my humble McView.

The Bible Takes Division as Serious as Sin

Sinful—1 Corinthians 1:10-13, John 17:20-21.
Only one body—Ephesians 4:4 & 1:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12:13.
To support false teacher is sinful—2 John 1:10-11, Isaiah 5:20, Proverbs 17:15.
