It is not a once upon a time kind of thing, not \"I used to love it\" kind of thing. One would feel guilty about the above. <strong>This proves many members in churches today are not saved<\/strong>. Their worship is a <strong>committive<\/strong> one, not a <strong>faithful<\/strong> one; their fellowship is a <strong>social<\/strong> one, not a <strong>family<\/strong> one; their proclamation of faith is an <strong>insurance<\/strong> one, not a <strong>rejoicing<\/strong> one.
