There once was a group of people who congregated weekly in an ornate building known as a CHURCH.
One way folks could KNOW that this church was a tool of Satan–and NOT God–was the church’s focus.
INSTEAD of its focus being on the things of God, the church mostly focused on the things of this world.
Particularly, FOOD.
Though food IS tasty and delicious (at times), it is a thing of the world, NOT a thing of God. By concentrating so much on FOOD, it seemed the church was announcing what it considered most important.
Any announcement considered IMPORTANT by the church members was marked by a time of EATING.
IF the church announced a new and exciting program for any who were thinking of joining the church, it opened the announcement with a DINNER.
IF the church wanted to raise money for the good deeds it performed, it usually raised the money by having a (pancake) breakfast.
IF the church was ‘changing directions’ and wanted to veer off into parts unknown to it previously, then it began with eating: that is, food served in some sort of dinner or supper or breakfast. This food usually highlighted the announcement and ‘kicked off’ the festivities.
NOW, that the church focused so heavily on food was NOT something which was unusual: a great many churches did so.
The focus of the church on the things of this world DID make it much easier to place the church and its folks in the proper categories.
DOES the reader spend any time at a church which emphasizes eating?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
