I know many of my followers have different faiths and everyday I see a “like” or “share” my heart feels great. This is a letter to the church and pastors/leaders

Dear Church, Pastors and Leaders,

Thank you for your service. There are hearts that need to be mended, spiritual wounds that need to be healed and tended to, struggles that require encouragement, and stories that need to be heard and shared. It’s time to break tradition. It’s time to break religious customs. No rules, no religion but the true message, the authentic message of Jesus. Please don’t preach opinion, and stay with the facts. Preach unconditional love, acceptance, miracles, tend to the sick, open your ears and hear what your congregants’ hearts have to say. Teach your members about giving back to the community and reaching out beyond the four walls.

The building where we corporately worship, is just that a “building.” Jesus said that “we,” the “person,” is the church. So as a people, person, we need to reach out to the drug addicts, to the prostitutes,  to the struggling youth, to the homeless and hungry. We need to teach our congregants how to take the message we hear every Sunday and practice it for ourselves and for the community.

Hearts are hurting, and people are crying out for help. We are the help through Jesus. People want authentic believers and those with pure hearts. Stop the judgment, traditions, and making people feel unwelcome. We need, as a faith, to grow and encourage people to grow, no matter their faith or spiritual beliefs. Stop picking parts of the bible to follow, and follow the truth of Jesus, the truth in your heart, and the love of God. Show people that there is a God, and he loves you no matter where you are in life. Teach people that God doesn’t judge and wants to help inspire them to have a life of purpose.

Let’s feed the hungry, clothe those in need. Let’s continue the work that the disciples started and Jesus taught. Take us to the KING! We need a word of life to that dying soul. We need a word for those who feel they are unreachable. We need a word; we need to hear Jesus’s teaching, love, and why he truly died on the cross. Honestly, we need to reach out to those not in our church, but also those in our churches. Reach out to all those you can; pray without cease. We as believers have a job to do.

Sincerely,

Xih-Zih
