@Passionofawriter Of course keeping the commandments will not make us holy because "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). But Jesus told us "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). Obedience will not justify us, but our obedience is a thermometer to test if the relationship is where it should be. We cannot approach God without submitting to Him.

@sainted168 but don't forget that keeping his commandments will not make you holy in his eyes. It will not make you righteous. The book of Romans talks about that - only having a relationship - a full time personal 1 on 1 relationship with JESUS will make you righteous.

This is sad but true. Too many people want to call the shots when they themselves are lost.

wow When Did The Cameras come To Our church , Me And My Wife Do Give Alot But We Wanna Know Who Does,, love it

It's amazing how many actually missed the point here. The point being, too many of us want to get from God, instead of totally worshipping and adoring Him, without expecting anything in return. After all my precious brothers and sisters, He gave His life for us and has given those of us who have received Him, eternal life already. What more could we possibly need?

I especially appreciated the part about the couple with the screaming baby. It frustrates me when the parents just sit there and let them. Most churches provide cry-rooms and/or a nursery, but some parents are so consumed with being glued to their babies, that they don't see how inconsiderate it is to distract others from the message and ministry that those around them might desperately need at that moment. Yes, babies do cry, but that doesn't make it ok to just sit there & take away frm others.

@lakebay972 For a start the "Church" is the global body of Christ, not any one man-made organisation/body. Secondly, ministry isn't done for a Church, it's done for Christ. Invest your time, money passion and dedication in him and He will reward you according to His eternal riches in glory. Not that you should need any reward. If you love someone you should take no greater delight than the natural delight that comes from serving them - John 14.15. Church isn't about you - its about Him.

@QuisSeperabit60 not really, the message is about investing your time, money, passion and dedication toward a ministry and actually getting something in return. Just a simple way for a church to say "Thanks"
i went to this church, but it had a split when I got mad at myself because i was talking while i was preaching...

Sadly, It's all true. God help us to realize that it's all about God, just as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 12:13:
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
