CHURCHES CLOSING THEIR DOORS by James Baker When churches shut down, that is a very terrible thing for mankind. The ark of safety has now been shut, because the bible teaches man must be in the church to be saved from hell. Acts 2.47. John 10.9. Col 1.13. Eph 5.23. Acts 22.18 If the church goes out of business because of lack of interest, there will be no salvation in that area. John 8:21. Acts 18.5-6. Matt 10.14-15. Man has failed to understand how the devil is pulling the wool over his eyes by having him think church is a bad thing. The church is the ark of salvation, it is safety for those inside, but no one can be saved outside the church. Mankind needs to wake up and take an interest in the local church. Mankind needs to start loving church and seeking to be a member of the blood brought body of Christ. Acts 20.28. Eph 5.25-27. After a person has obeyed the gospel he will be able to help lead others to the church so they can be saved. Jude 22-23. Jesus built His church. He shed His blood to make the purchase and He did not do all of that, for them to dry up and die in our communities. God wants the churches to be around. We must take interest to make sure that churches do stick around. If you know of a church of Christ, why don’t you become a member and devote your life to keeping the church alive in that neighborhood. In cities across America, there are huge church buildings empty. A shell of their former selves. Empty because man has moved from the house of God. We are on the road to hell. We cannot allow the house of God to become an artifact of a museum. . e to edit.
