The church (lower case) is the Physical plant.   It is buildings, denominations, adminstrations.   

The church is responsible for all failures in society.   All churches fall into "form of worship" practices to a lesser or greater extent.   True Worship is in Spirit and Truth - not form and ceremony.   Very little of the "power to transform lives" Message has been preached until lately.   Instead, the "save your soul from hell" message along with the "do social work" message has just about covered it.   

The real Message of Christ Jesus was the notion of New Birth and the potential for Abundant (super-human) Life.   The Abundant Life manifests as a well spring of the Character and Blessings of God gushing from within the new creature to be poured out upon all those they encounter.   

Though the New Birth has been believed in and superficially taught, it has not been the focus of the church.   As a result, though the New Birth is not aborted, it is stunted in terms of its effect on subsequent life.   

Christ intended for the New Birth to initiate new Life - not an improvement on the old life.   This is profound!   What the church has focused on is the cleaning up of the old man to make him Christ like.   Jesus told us you do not put new wine into old bottles.   You do not sew new cloth into an old garment.   Yet, this is what the church has been about.   

Since we have occupied ourselves with a failed process (new cloth in old garment) it is no wonder that we have been ineffective in convincing young people to participate.   Something has not been ringing true and young people are sensitive to superficiality and insincerity.   

For example, many in the church occupy themselves addressing the material needs of the poor.   Jesus did not occupy himself with material needs.   Rather, he focused on bringing the needy to wholeness.   He Healed them and forgave their Sins and set them Free.   He told us that we would always have poor people implying it was futile to solve the problem of poverty from the outside in.   

The Gospel is powerful and effective.   The Gospel is the Good news of the Kingdom of God.   A Kingdom , if it is anything, has Power and Authority to affect the lives of its subjects.   We are a Kingdom of Priests , a Royal priesthood.   This means that we are to exercise the Power and Authority of the Kingdom of God on Christ`s behalf.   

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord`s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. Isa 2:2 The top of the mountains speaks to its elevation above all powers in heaven and earth.      In the Millennial Kingdom all nations will observe the King and come once a year to worship Him in Jerusalem.

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. Mic 4:1

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Joe 2:28 This is the prophecy of our Lord`s will for us:    ➛ to be reconciled to Him    ➛ to be filled with His Spirit    ➛ to experience eternal, abundant life through His Spirit

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. Joe 2:29 This points to the fact that we are all royalty and priests under the New Covenant.      We are all One In Christ with no differention on physical dimensions.

And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. Joe 2:30 This speaks to the events on the Day Of The Lord.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. Joe 2:31 The Day Of Wrath follows immediately upon the rapture of the church ending the Great Tribulation.

And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. Joe 2:32 I believe this speaks to the people who survive the Day Of Wrath.     Such people will not have worshipped the beast or his image.     They will live in the Millennial Kingdom as purely human individuals.      These people will have to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ who sits on the throne of David in Jerusalem in order to be saved.
