Goats who know they are goats and yet desire to be the sheep. Will do as the sheep do except absent of any love for those whom they serve. The goats may be the ones who become weary and burnt out before the finish line is even seen.

Have you ever seen a devout Christian and a pretender do the same works for those who need more than any other. The devout Christian seems to be like that never ending battery bunny. While those who don't really have the heart for what they do and maybe even absent of love. Seem to just become weary and burnt out. It is all about love for one another and the source of all of our love is from the Holy Spirit. When all of you is focused on the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ (Word) and your Heavenly Father. All of that energy is perpetually given to you. Even then the physical and mental body can only handle so much. So when a genuine devout sheep is alone doing all of the work tirelessly. Their bodies and mind will eventually give out even though their heart is full of the outpouring of love. The devout sheep do need their rest. But, the sheep who have been doing and doing all alone. Do need the help from others even if it is from a goat who may or may not ever become a sheep.
The whole body of Christ all have their parts of required duties and if the body of Christ only have a few parts doing all of the work. Then the whole body cannot function in whole holiness. But, it is important for those who do works within and outside of the church to have as a first intention of love and then the duty will be there. Those who are duty minded only are the ones who may burn out and become weary. Use those who are duty minded. For while they are still alive they may become like sheep full of love for what they do for others. Will 99 out of 100 fail you and go away into the dark? maybe. It is that one sheep or that one wolf who transforms into the sheep full of genuine love which is something which should be focused upon.
You pastors, preachers and theologians. You who have churches where the flock is undivided with sheep, goats and wolves. But, then again your church may very well be divided as the sheep will desire to be among their own as well as the goats and the wolves will always want to be a part of their pack. So if you the church leader allow the goats and wolves to be in authority. Then the sheep will depart from the church.

The New Shepherd: (Unedited): 01 June 2018:
The new shepherd, one with the love of Christ within is one who will not flee from the flock who are encircled by wolves, snakes and leopards.
The new shepherd, with the passion of Christ will freely submit to His will and obediently care for all of those who are suffering and in misery.
The new shepherd, becomes Christ like in total sacrifice to others. Not because of force or duty but from an outpouring of love.
The new shepherd, will lead many to everlasting life and joy. So as long as he keeps the love, the passion and the sacrifice of Christ.

A friend and a brother has become a pastor today. This is for him. Actually, His small poor church just had a total of ten graduates. So this small church of maybe 70 people now have more than a 11 pastors. Who is the star of the show at your church? Is your pastor a Judas who is only interested in enriching himself/herself instead of perpetually splitting the church so that the people become empowered enough to go out into the world to spread the good word with love, mercy and compassion.
-----------------------
Always repent for every sin. Stay in the Holy Bible as if you are both hungry and thirsty. Pray, fast and meditate always. Worship because you need and want desperately. Become holy and righteous in the eyes of God your Heavenly Father only. All without any pride, ego, arrogance, supremacy or entitlements. Always do for others out of the overflowing of Christs love through you. Become that overflowing fountain of Christs love for all who are willing to drink.

Humanity can never be trusted. While a snake will always be a snake and a wolf shall always be a wolf. Even an oak tree will never decide to become a palm tree. It is only human beings who become deceived into believing that they can be anything they want to be with total disregard of their specific physiology.

Prosperity Snake: (Unedited): 01 June 2018:
A prosperity snake in their silvery suit and gold trinkets will from time to time call upon the congregants to give millions more for their excessive obscenities. The deceived will happily give all they have so that the snake can have more than ever.

Playing Church: (Unedited): 20 June 2018:
You preachers and teachers of the faith. If you who are inside of the holy place is different than you who is outside in the world. Then know that your God knows that you are only playing church.
C.J.MacKechnie
--------------------------
Humanity is really good at not only deceiving those in the world but also themselves. Even to the point of falsely becoming a person just to make the right friends or to network into the correct relationships. It is the same with reverends, preachers, teachers, pastors, clergy and theologians of the faith. They each are playing the game of getting people into the church by any means possible. Which includes teaching their congregations what they think they want to hear. Just to get more and more inside of the church. Is this how the successful churches have become entertainment centers instead of places of holiness and righteousness? Is this how prosperity teaching has become a relevant teaching tool when the evidence in the Holy Bible contradicts this false belief. It is what the people want to hear. The people do not want to feel bad. The people want to be entertained. The people want to feel good. The people want to be sanitized from the ugliness of life. Which is why those who are desperate in the perpetual sense are pushed out of the church.
---------------------------
A strategy that the desperately poor use. Is the internet. They figure out what days churches will have their free food services. Then they make their way to those churches and wait for the meals. Most churches have figured this out and thus no longer update their websites about the free meal after church services. Because, The people only want to go to a clean and sanitized church. If the church caters to the fundamentally poor, the permanently disabled, the unbathed homeless. Then those who actually financially support the church will disappear without a word. So the church leadership must make a decision. Give the worldly rich people what they want or become a church in which only the poor, disabled and homeless attend. That is until you run out of food and then many of them will go elsewhere. So what can a pastor do? The shepherd can't keep the whole flock together because of the pride, ego, arrogance, and selfishness of each and
every sheep.
Did you make it this far? And you thought I only bash the shepherd.
