It's hard for you to kick against the pricks!

 Matthew  21:44  And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder

There are people whose forte is to criticize and find fault in anything that has to do with the church of Jesus Christ. The funny and ironic part of this is that some of these people are also 'Christians', then you wonder what Christianity are these folks practising. Some work for media houses, and sometimes are told to write against a certain Pastor or a certain Ministry, and then they go ahead. Some also use their social media platforms to make derogatory remarks on Churches, this ought not to be so. The scripture above comes to my mind every time I see these things, Jesus in His admonition said in paraphrase "anyone who falls on the stone(the church) will be broken, and then anyone who the stone(the church) falls upon will be crushed to powder",  this is huge. So many people wonder why they have seemingly made low progress over the years, some don't know they're suffering from certain actions they did against the Church in the past. The Church is connected to Jesus Christ, whatever affects the Church affects Jesus Christ. I love what Jesus told Paul on his way to Damascus. He said Acts  9:5 "...I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks." . Paul had been persecuting Christians prior to this encounter, but when Jesus would appear yo Him, Jesus said He(Paul) was persecuting Him, such glorious identifying! If you've developed an habit of talking against the Church, you should desist from it. Yes, there are certain times some 'Churches' do certain things not in line with God's word, but if it's a Church that has its principles from the Bible, refrain from speaking against such, lest you're broken or crushed to powder. Do have a great day ahead
