Pastor Jeremiah Steepek (pictured
below) transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member
church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning. He
walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with
people for service....only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to
him. He asked people for change to buy food....NO ONE in ...the church gave
him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church
and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit n the back. He greeted people
to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him
and judging him.
As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such. When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation........"We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek"....The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation.....The homeless man sitting in the back stood up.....and

started walking down the aisle.....the clapping stopped
with ALL eyes on him....he walked up the altar and took the microphone from the
elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment....then he
recited
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came
to
visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you
hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see
you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we
see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning...many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame.... he then said....Today I see a gathering of people......not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples...when will YOU decide to become disciples? He then dismissed service until next week.......Being a Christian is more than something you claim. I'ts something you live by and share with others.See More— with Joyce Corrick Warden, Kirsten Garrison and Kaitlin Garrison.

This is exactly why I am not a member of
any church ...I see lots of people going to the churches but hardly any
practicing anything about what Christ taught ..I saw it in my Babtist. preacher
Uncle and see it in the majority of every church I have ever gone to and that's
a lot of churches of different denominations ( I was trying to find a true
church that believed and carried out the teachings of Christ , never found
one ! ) . I saw a lot of hate for those that are different , I saw a
lot of wealthy people who are so , so stingy , they can't even give to those who
are less fortunate and stuck up assholes who think their churches are the true
church of God ... What a bunch of pure , evil bullshit ! .Yes ,
Christ would not be welcome in those churches , he would not fit in
!!!!!!!!!! ...This preacher , taught them all a good lesson and gave them
enough time to think about what had just happened . I'm glad he did and
wish more would do this but many of them are just as rotten as their
congregations .....I am not without sin but I gotta tell you , I follow more of
what Christ taught than many so called church going Christians do ..Where's the
love Christians ??????
