Me: I’ll do anything you want, for free.
Church: no thanks. Be on your way.
Me: you don’t even want me to lick your toilet bowls? For free?
Church: no. Be on your way.
Me: Okay. I have a few things in mind that my boss told me. I’ll leave them for your review.
Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. As you enter the house, greet it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
Matthew 10:9-15
The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.
Luke 10:16
I think you’ve found an answer as to what to do about some churches, and some people. They get a pretty harsh judgement from God. I don’t think it could be any clearer.
