Family of God: [FamilyofGod] Cowboy in Church

There are too many churches like this one and they are like the churches in the
days of Christ. they are more interested in the beauty and wealth than in
God. They teach and practice man not God. Many can not understand why many are
not in their church and they are so busy that they never ask,"is God here".
They just assume He is for it is a church. No it isn't. It is a building. God
is in the people and they light up without being told. jerrya

>A Cowboy in Church
>
>One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church just before services were to
>begin. Although the old man and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore
>jeans, a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged. In his hand he
>carried a worn out old hat and an equally well read Bible. The church he
>entered was in a very upscale and exclusive part of the city. It was the
>largest and most beautiful church the old cowboy had ever seen. The people of
>the congregation were all dressed with expensive clothes and jewelry.
>
>
>As the cowboy took a seat, the others moved away from him. No one greeted, spoke
>to, or welcomed him. They were all appalled by his appearance and did not
>attempt to hide it.
>
>As the old cowboy was leaving the church, the preacher approached him and asked
>the cowboy to do him a favor: "Before you come back here again, have a talk with
>God and ask him what he thinks would be appropriate attire for worship in
>church."
>
>
>The old cowboy assured the preacher he would. The next Sunday, he showed back up
>for the services wearing the same ragged jeans, shirt, boots, and hat.
>
>
>Once again he was completely shunned and ignored. The preacher approached the
>cowboy and said, "I thought I asked you to speak to God before you came back to
>our church."
>
>
>"I did," replied the old cowboy.
>
>"If you spoke to God, what did he tell you the proper attire should be for
>worshiping here?" asked the preacher.
>
>
>"Well, sir, God told me that He didn't have a clue what I should wear. He said
>He'd never been in this church." Glitter :)

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy
to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son
of man

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all
the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Luke 10:19)
