Albany Georgia … Take off the Mask

To the unbeliever or bitter and broken x church attender in Albany, Georgia

I am sorry that you have watched worship leaders sing about being in love with Christ on stage and stepping off and living something totally different.

I am sorry that you have walked into some churches and were never greeted or welcomed

I am sorry that your “Christian” friends do everything that you do and then try to say it’s wrong.

I am sorry that some preachers in this town wear masks and can’t stop competing with other churches.

I am sorry that you have had to hear other churches bash Sherwood I threw this in cause I like the Catt and Garrett. I don’t go there

I am sorry that no one came when you were broken and that the church didn’t pick you up when you were down.

I am sorry that all you have heard about Jesus is a list of rules.

I am sorry for being in love with my ego for a season and some of you having to stomach that crap.

I am sorry for every idiot that tells you if you give the church your money God will give you more money and good health as if that Is the gospel.

I am sorry for the preachers I this city that would rather you attend their church and be a number on the role then ever tell you the truth and challenge you with holiness.

I am not sorry for living a life that strives for integrity and honesty

I am not sorry to write and tell you I care about you. I don’t know you, but I know and remember well what a life without Christ was like. It was like I was drinking sand hoping it would one day turn into water.

I am not sorry to write and tell you Jesus loves you beyond measure and wants to be your greatest treasure.

I am not sorry to point you back to the verse no one uses because they say it’s elementary. If you are reading this and haven’t been to church in a while… Go grab the bible crack open John 3:16 and just read it. If you are a long time professing Christian who is reading this… do the same… and be moved!!!! You should be!

I am not sorry for following Christ.

I don’t have anything else. I just always want to be transparent with my friends and family. I want to apologize to every unbeliever or bitter church member who has ever been hurt by church…

The real church binds up the broken hearted,preaches unashamedly the Gospel of Jesus Christ.. that he died, was buried and rose again and He is the only way to heaven, feeds the homeless, holds hands with the dying, speaks to the prostitute and loves them in spite of it. We as a church have been commanded to love, be truthful, and share the gospel, He will separate the wheat from the tares. Our precious Jesus, my greatest treasure. If you are at a church doing something other than this last paragraph the it’s not the church. It’s a building called church.
