Brian Carn rips tradition, Joseph Prince stuck on grace

Hey guys, once again it's young hero and it's time to take a look into the latest news of the church.  Joseph Prince is stuck on the whole grace issue.  I get that grace set us free and all that, but its been like ten years now and we're still stuck on this same thing.
I guess that goes to show how long it takes for us to really get a teaching into our system and live off of it.  Either way, even though it's been forever since he's been preaching this same message, it still remains one of the most refreshing messages being taught today.


Prophet Brian Carn has been on a tear as of late against the religous traditions of the pulpit and current mainstream ministry.  I quote, "The Lord said to me, they're being stirred, but no one is changing."  Carn has been encouraging believer's to stop playing church as usual and to start showing true signs of a change.

The Purpose of Church

I think that the purpose of the church has been diminished to huge extent.  Something that was meant to build people up in love and a knowledge of God, has slowly drifted into a organization that teaches people how to grow into a knowledge of financial understanding and love materialism.
The true purpose of church is to build one another up in love to go and perform works of ministry.  By that I mean doing the things that Jesus did when he was on this earth.  It's a wonderful thing when we feed the poor, and visit those in need.  But we also should be doing the miraculous as well. 
The purpose of the church should be teaching people how to stop living in sin and that they can be free from a life that is controlled by sin.  The church should be teaching people how to heal the sick.  I used to wonder why that was so crucial until my mom was forced to go to the hospital for back surgery and I felt the hopelessness of placing her care in the hands of doctors that practiced medicine and didn't actually guarentee that she would be healed. 
And even though they did a good job according to their standards, she has suffered ever since, but you know what, I couldn't find one 'leader or giant of the faith' in my crisis to set her free.  That's why the church should be a training ground from the least to the greatest member to do the very things that Jesus did.  So that we can begin to help a world that's looking for answers. 
Ask yourself this question.  Have you really grown in a knowledge of God and Jesus, do you really do the things that he did on a daily basis.  That ought to let you know whether or not you're in line with the true purpose of the church.
