Amen, Pastor! Church is primarily for believers. The phrase " come as you are" is never mentioned in the bible in reference to church, only to Jesus. When churches structure their services to the( seeker friendly) world, they starve the sheep.

Matthew 11:1-19(Messengers from John the Baptist) "11 When Jesus😊1st❤ had finished instructing his twelve(12) disciples, he went on from there to teach😊❤ and preach😊❤ in their cities. 2 Now when John ( John the Baptist😊❤) heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ(" Christ " mean Messiah = Jesus😊1st❤), he sent word by his disciples and said to him(Jesus😊1st❤), " Are you the one who is to come, and shall we look for another? " 4 And Jesus answered them, " Go and tell John( John the Baptist 😊❤) what yoi hear and see: 5 the blind receive😊❤ their sight 😊❤ and the lame walk😊❤, lepers are cleansed 😊❤ and the deaf hear 😊❤, and the dead are raised😊❤ and the poor😊❤ have good news😊❤ preached😊❤ to them(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) 6 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me." 7 As they went away, Jesus😊1st❤ began to speak😊❤ to the crowds😊❤ concerning John( John😊❤ the Baptist): " What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in the king's houses. 9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than😊❤ a prophet. 10 This is he( John 😊❤ the Baptist) whom It is written, " ' Behold, I send my messenger😊❤ before your face, who will prepare😊❤ your way😊❤ before you😊❤.' 11 Truly😊❤, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. ... "(ESV Study Bible) (This is because John the Baptist had seen Jesus😊1st❤ himself and he baptized Jesus😊1st❤ himself too and John the Baptist also heard God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven had spoke and witnesed that Jesus😊1st ❤ our savior in Christ is his beloved One and also John the Baptist also saw the Holy Spirit😊❤ decended like a dove( a peace symbol) on Jesus( Isaiah 53:5 , Prince of Peace😊❤ Remember?) "Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."( John the Baptist). ( This is because John the Baptist according to the Bible soon will have his head chopped off by bad people and John the Baptist died before he can witness to Jesus' resurrection( rise from the dead) from the dead like many of those who followed him( Jesus😊1st❤) had witnessed and also us today from the Bible also trust by faith that Jesus has risen from the dead too ( Matthew 28:7 "7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee, there you will see him(Jesus😊1st❤). See, I have told😊❤ you😊❤."( Matthew 28:7 ESV Study Bible and Luke 24:1-12( The Resurrection😊❤ ) of Jesus😊1st❤ someday you see this Scripture again in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( Luke 24:1-12( The Resurrection😊❤ ) of Jesus the Christ ( Jesus😊1st❤). ). Amen. Since John the Baptist hae died before Jesus' resurrection so John was not able to witness what we know or trust in Jesus😊1st❤ so that's the one who least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he( John the Baptist) for John the Baptist didn't know what we know by faith in Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ. John didn't witnessed to all the New Testament 's letter like we do ( we are lucky) but unfortunately John the Baptist didn't know what we know about Jesus' resurrection( Luke 24:1-12( The Resurrection😊❤) that make us greater than he.And John the Baptist's witness who he is not is also powerful testimony in Christ to prepare the Way( John 14:6😊❤) for the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and that above are my own sharing in Christ..in Jesus'name, i pray( God's mercy😊❤ reappeared on this Scripturee Matthew 11:11😊❤, thank God for second chance in Christ for sharing in Christ😊❤) Amen. Back to Matthew 11:11-19 11 Truly😊❤, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist.Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he( John the Baptist). 12 From the days of John the Baptist until the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violence take it by force. 13 For all the Prophets 😊❤ and the Law😊❤ prophesied until John( John the Baptist😊❤), 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah 😊❤ who is to come. 15 He who has ears😊❤😊❤ to hear😊❤, let him😊❤ hear😊❤. 16 But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets places and calling to their playmates, 17 " ' We play the flute( do you remember who play flute like share before?) for you, and you did not dance; We sing a dirge, and you did not mourn( " mourn" is the hints).' 18 For John( John the Baptist😊❤) came neither eating and drinking, they say, ' He is a demon.' ( quored what other said.) 19 The Son of Man( " Son of Man " = Jesus😊1st❤= 100% God and 100% Man too. Jesus our Lord and our King( Revelation 19:16b) has many others Names too in the Bible in Christ.) eating and drinking, they( others) said, ' Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors(7 do you remember Matthew😊❤ and those with them?) and sinners ! " Yet widsom😊❤ is justified 😊❤ by her deeds😊❤." "( Matthew above all in all were Matthew 11:1-19 ESV Study Bible. If John the Baptist was accused by others saying, ' He has a demon"( Matthew 11:18b ESV Study Bible) and Jesus😊1st ❤ our savior was accused of "...' Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! ' ..." ( Matthew 11:19b or middle of the verse ESV Study Bible Today what kind of names did others call you( us) or make fun of us for trusting and following our savior (Jesus😊1st ❤ )? But remeber " Yet wisdom(Jesus😊1st ❤) is justified (😊❤ ) by her deeds 😊❤."( Matthew 11:19b ESV Study Bible) We are justified by Jesus😊1st ❤ by faith in Him( Jesus😊1st ❤ ) alone. In Jesus'name, i pray( 2 Corinthians 12:9😊❤ , 9-10😊❤ and Hebrews 12:2( Turn our eyes on Jesus😊1st ❤ or fix our eyes on Jesus😊1st ❤ )Amen.
