“REVIVAL CENTRES CHURCH”

 

Dear Reader, I got a letter box drop from REVIVAL CENTRES CHURCH Cannon Hill Qld 4170, outlining how life can be so much better, happier, fulfilling and joyful.

 

“Wow!” I said to myself “let’s have a gander at this! Maybe I could learn something?”

 

And so I perused the pamphlet.

 

What could I expect:

* Meet people from all walks of life

* A talk from the Bible relevant for today

* Personal accounts of lives changed by God

* Music and singing


                                 “OK” I said “let’s read further.”

 

There won’t be any:

* Requests for money

* Pressure from anyone

* Religious theatrics

                                                                                                   “Alright, let’s go on.”

 

Read what the Bible says:

BAPTISM:                                             

Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 10:47-48


                                     “OOOOOPS! CAR CRASH!”

 

HOLY SPIRIT:                                     

John 3:5; Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-46


                                     “OOOOOPS! CAR CRASH!”

 

SPEAKING IN TONGUES:                      

Mark 16:17; Acts 19:6; 1 Corinthians14:12 

                                      “OOOOOPS! CAR CRASH!”

 

HEALING:                                            

Acts 3:1-9; Acts 5:16; Matthew 4:23


                                     “OOOOOPS! CAR CRASH!”

 

CHRIST’S RETURN:

Matthew 24:14; 2 Peter 3:9-18 Revelation 3:20

   

                                         “OOOOOPS! CAR CRASH!”

 

“Dear Oh! Dear Oh! Dearie me!”

 

What came to mind was a boy doing “Lucky Dip” out of five barrels at side-show alley.

 

Barrel #1 containing 22 occurrences of the word “BAPTISM

The boy pulls out the above three verses at random

 

Barrel #2 containing 20 occurrences of the words “HOLY SPIRIT

The boy pulls out the above three verses at random

 

Barrel #3 containing 24 occurrences of the word “TONGUES

The boy pulls out the above three verses at random

 

Barrel #4 containing 14 occurrences of the word “HEALING

The boy pulls out the above three verses at random

 

Barrel #5 containing 22 occurrences referring to CHRIST’S RETURN

The boy pulls out the above three verses at random

 

Fifteen reasons not to go to a REVIVAL CENTRES CHURCH:

 

The fifteen verses mentioned above, are correct, but they apply to different dispensations.

 

It’s like a doctor applying a rash cream for broken leg or taking out a kidney instead of advising a patient to use sun cream for future sun exposure.

 

Or a plumber fixing pipes in a house when all it needed was a paint job.

 

Wrong remedy for the complaint.

 

Ah! Dear Reader, dispensations are absolutely important when picking up the Bible.

 

Honestly Dear Reader, I though these churches had died out years ago.

 

You know what their two ‘mouse-in-a-wheel’ mottos are?

 

1. “If it doesn’t work the first time, just try harder.”

 

2. “If we keep doing the same things, we’ll get a different result!”
