Acts of The Church
“I find it incredible that Christ would die for the sinner in all their mess yet we’re the ones who look at them and scorn.
Only Heaven will tell how many people we turned off to The LORD by how we treat the unsaved and newly saved.” — Linda G Bennett
“I find it incredible that Christ would die for the sinner in all their mess yet we’re the ones who look at them and scorn.”
If ever there was a statement to condemn the hypocrisy in churches, this is it.
I have heard the questions — “Do we really want people like that in church?” and “Oh, I didn’t realise you were like that.”
Where has the love and compassion gone from our faith?
Did Jesus not die for ALL, or was it only for the saved?
“Only Heaven will tell how many people we turned off to The LORD by how we treat the unsaved and newly saved.”
How we condemn ourselves by the way we treat others.
Not-yet Christians, and new Christians need to be loved into the Kingdom, not shunned away or out of it.
It starts with the shepherds and spreads down through the flock.
When you stand before the Throne of Judgement, how will you answer for the way you treated people who turned away from God because of you and your attitude?

Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
How true what you said, Chris & Linda. The parable Jesus gave about ‘the highways and byways, bringing the lost in’, especially the part about the others being too busy to come to the Wedding Feast – it’s so telling.
May we not turn any away from the Master’s table because of their outer garments.
I think this ‘lost’ generation as they are called, the under <30 group that pharma, drugs, gender-ideology, AI, media-bombarded has targeted, I think heaven has the biggest rescue plan in place to bring them home to Papa-God. May we be there with open arms to welcome them in, when they show up on our doorsteps. It's coming.
Church…let people come to Christ – and pray as the Word sanctifies ALL our hearts Eph.5:26
