ZOMBIE FOR GCX
In preparation for a small operation that I was to receive, I had to be seen by particular staff at the hospital the day before. I registered after a rather long and frustrating wait, and then confusedly followed the directions to the particular office. The room number I found matched the directions, but the description seemed somewhat strange because it looked like it read, LOBOTOMY. (It actually read Phlobotomy.) But, it was just the humor I needed as I laughed to myself, '
This is such a poor hospital; you must need to get a lobotomy before having an operation!' (The hospital really did have a questionable reputation.)
Upon entering the dedicated throngs of GCx, there was a sort of "preparation" that was also required. We had to leave part of our brain at the door, so to speak; in order to follow their strange "rules". They were deceitfully sold as "giving up all for Jesus". Most of it wasn't for Jesus, it was for the glory of men and the control of GCx! Most of us weren't personally led and convicted by Jesus to offer these sacrifices. We were pressed and manipulated by mere men to give GCx our whole being! Sadly, here's how GCx seemed to see Acts 27:28: 'In
GCx we live and move and have our being'. The next part of that verse says, "We are
His offspring", yet GCx pressured us to be
their offspring.
It became obvious that Christ was
not the head -- an elevated man was! I believe that's why we became blind and deaf to God's leading. So, "zombie" was not too far off for some of us regarding how we performed and how others outside GCx, with a
fully functioning brain, likely viewed us.
