God wants a time tested Church

Time Tested Memorials Of God

And Jesus Christ came from Heaven, the Glory; from Glory, down here, to build a Church. And the material that He's putting in It, is time-tested material. You might come to the altar and make a confession, but when He finds blow-holes and everything else, see, the world—the world has blowed the maggots in you, and so forth, you cannot stand. He just pitches you to one side. God wants a time-tested Church; not somebody is a Christian today and a backslider tomorrow, in and out, and up and down. He can't place you nowhere.
But He's got a Church that's tested, went through the trials, through losses, through sickness, through sorrow, through death, and still stand with a testimony. That's the man, yes, that's the man He's looking for. I don't care if you're a pauper. I don't care if you're a beggar. I don't care if you're a rag picker. Whatever you are, God puts the test to you. He is looking for time-tested material.

Daily Bread Psalm 17:3
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
