1 Corinthians 12:25-31 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

THREE REASONS CHURCHES BECOME COLD AS ICE Because Talk Is Cheap!

TALK IS CHEAP! 1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

You might say: “I Talk In Tongues” TALK IS CHEAP! You might say: “I Talk In Tongues”

My question is: “How Do You Talk To People?” TALK IS CHEAP! My question is: “How Do You Talk To People?”

TALK IS CHEAP! What You Say With Your Mouth, To Men, Women, Boys And Girls, Matters Most!

Religious Speak Is Cheap! TALK IS CHEAP! Religious Speak Is Cheap! Not Real Not Caring Not Going The Extra Mile Not Making The Extra Effort

Because Of Information Overload! THREE REASONS CHURCHES BECOME COLD AS ICE Because Of Information Overload!

INFORMATION OVERLOAD! 1 Corinthians 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

Because Of Dead Sacrifice! THREE REASONS CHURCHES BECOME COLD AS ICE Because Of Dead Sacrifice!

DEAD SACRIFICE! 1 Corinthians 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

DEAD SACRIFICE! Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Giving Without Love Is Cruel & Weird DEAD SACRIFICE! Giving Without Love Is Cruel & Weird

Sacrifice Without Sincerity Is Dead DEAD SACRIFICE! Sacrifice Without Sincerity Is Dead

It Does Nothing For You That Is Of Lasting Significance DEAD SACRIFICE! It Does Nothing For You That Is Of Lasting Significance

DEAD SACRIFICE! Listen To Jesus… Matthew 7:21-23 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

DEAD SACRIFICE! Listen To Jesus… Matthew 7:21-23 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

DEAD SACRIFICE! Listen To Jesus… Matthew 7:21-23 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

DEAD SACRIFICE! Also… 1 Corinthians 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
