This is so true. Remember what Paul told the Corinthian Church to do to the guy who was sleeping with his mother in-law?

"(3) For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed, (4) In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, (5) To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." {1Co 5:3-5 KJV}

Can you imagine if a Church did that to somebody today? It is sad how far we have fallen in the last 2000 years, and yet it seems that it was predetermined to be this way.

"(11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." {Mat 24:11-12 KJV}

I do wish though, that more Churches would come closer to walking in the light, or at least try harder. For all of my life it has been this way. The crazy thing is that if you don't put on the mask and pretend to be righteous, the Church will kick you out. So the "Stay as you are" part isn't even actually true either. I think the more accurate phrase should be "Come as you are, pretend to have changed".

It literally makes me sick to walk into most of the Churches today. Everybody is walking around in their best clothes, drinking coffee, big smiles on their face, and talking about everything but Jesus. On the outside they pretend to be walking in righteousness, but inside they are wolves.

But I digress, this topic gets my blood boiling.
