Today Christians are tired of the pimp mentality in the church. We've gotten away from the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. It tells us, "go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in hte Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age"(Matthew 28:19-20KJV).
The Great Commision rests on the authority of Jesus Christ. His Gospel needs to be taught to all. Making disciples involves three steps: going, baptizing, and teaching. The actual first call for World evangelism can be seen in Genesis 12:1-3. The Lord said to Abram:"Get out of your country, from your family,and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed"(NKJV).
We all know what those two Scriptures means. Many times in life we're at a standstill. What is the message of Jesus Christ? How does pimping play into that? Why are so many Ministers of the Gospel are being referred to as a pimp? We all know that this type fo behavior has no place in the church. Yet, it has creep into it.
We must pray for this mentality to be removed from the church. The Church should be a place of of worship. We shoud magnify and Glorify God at all times. We desperate need to minister to those who are hurting. It's about souls being saved. The world should see the church as being different form the norm. But instead we pimp the saints. We are not following Jesus' message about soul's being saved and delivered. The message should poin the listeners to the Cross.
It's time for the church to be restored and the pimping spirit must leave the church. It has no place in Jesus Christ's church. Annie Eskridge, author of Sin Abides..http://www.ruthplace.com. Be Blessed
