Pastor Jeremiah Steepek (pictured) transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning. He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service....only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him. He asked people for change to buy food....NO ONE in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit n the back. He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him.
As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such. When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation........"We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek"....The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation.....The homeless man sitting in the back stood up.....and started walking down the aisle.....the clapping stopped with ALL eyes on him....he walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment....then he recited
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’;
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’;
After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning...many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame.... he then said....Today I see a gathering of people......not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples...when will YOU decide to become disciples? He then dismissed service until next week.......Being a Christian is more than something you claim. It's something you live by and share with others.

Hypocrites the churchs are full of them
Gutsy, honest, accountable! We need more of this type of ministry. To embody Christ is the essence of our spiritual inheritance. Whether Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, or Zen master, we are first by nature Christ consciousness. I'd attend this minister's services and would heed his words. Smart guy this minister.
Well, well well, it looks like the Hypocrites that fill the Churches around the Globe have been unmasked, WELL DONE!!! that goes to show you we really don't need to go to church to practice brotherly love, we don't need to speak in tongues, we don't need to faint. we don't need to PRETEND WE ARE GOOD, WE JUST NEED TO BE GOOD TO ONE ANOTHER
Yep...so are the bars, sports arenas, shopping malls, sidewalks, concert halls, etc., etc...
It is impossible to be "good" without the spirit of Christ and we cannot inherit the kingdom of Heaven without Christ. KJV John 14:6 Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me." Reference also, John 3:16 Being a Christian is about a relationship with Christ via the Holy Spirit given to us when we are born again in the spirit by repentance, it is NOT about "religion"...it is FAITH and ABSOLUTE TRUTHs <><
The "Church gets a New Pastor" is a great story although not really true. See:-
http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/religion/ss/Pastor-Jeremiah-Steepek.htm
"A viral image purporting to show Pastor Jeremiah Steepek in disguise is actually a 2011 photo of a real homeless man on the streets of London taken by photographer Brad Gerrard."
"We have every reason to believe the story is fictitious, albeit probably inspired by real-life events."
Again...voting out the encumbent is not going to fix anything. The voting is rigged in their favor and if you do manage to get someone in that might make a difference they are corrupted by bribes or set-up for blackmail in the heinous ways...drugging and video. Until Americans figure this out and start cleaning up their local communities there isn't going to be change....change needs to come from the local then upward. Stop focusing on the top and their hollywood performances and start finding out exactly what agendas are in your communities and get them out...Common Core Currriculum for one, Zoning Commissions, audit your council people ...look at the books. Step up and take responsibility and this is how we will restore our dejure Republic and bring back integrity to this nation ...and don't forget... all to the glory of Almighty God, it is from Him that we get our freedom and liberties, then the Constitution/Bill of Rights is in place to guarantee them...it is the binders on those put in place to "serve the people". They've run amuck because we checked out... demand the legalize language is changed to common law language.... TELL THEM WHAT TO DO... instead of blindly obeying what they say because they said it.
God please forgive us and heal our land. II Chron 7:14
