Satan's Plan On How To Destroy Your Church.

Satan's plan on how to destroy your church.

Intro: There are things we are all responsible of doing to keep our church alive, since we are the body of Christ. We must work to keep it working and healthy. If we ignore such responsability then we are helping the church to be destroyed. The same way if we don't use an eye, it will go blind, if we don't use an arm or a leg, it will go limb. We must colaborate with God if we want his church to grow and continue, failling to do so is cooperating with the devil to destroy it.

I. Don't attend church.

Hebrews 10:24-25 (KJV):

"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

Acts 2:42 (KJV):

"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."

Colossians 3:16 (KJV):

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

Ephesians 5:19-20 (KJV):

"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Psalm 122:1 (KJV):

"I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD."

A. show everyone in your church comunity that going to church isn't that important by simply not going and giving them the bad example so they too may miss church from time to time.

II. Live a carnal life.

Romans 8:5-8 (KJV):

"For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God."

Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV):

"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

Ephesians 2:3 (KJV):

"Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."

1 Peter 2:11 (KJV):

"Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul

A. There is no need to be a "holy man", you do enough by attending church and praying on the services that is enough. listen to unGodly music, watch unGodly movies, live your way. It's your life and you are not affecting anyone not even your church with your actions. It's all about talking the talk, no one knows what you really do in private and outside of the church so furthermore you don't need to live in holyness.

III. Don't worry about the youth.

1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV):

"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV):

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (KJV):

"And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."

Psalm 78:4-7 (KJV):

"We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments."
