Today the church moves between sentences such as: leadership, anointing, healing, music, prosperity ... .. I would call religion, we live thinking about how to grow, to be more "successful" in being the biggest and best church community, of course if another Christian congregation opens near ours is almost an enemy and must be our friend I say, today we use almost a secular marketing applied to our reality as Christians (that we pray will be soon) The goal is to be a "successful ministry," this does not mean you can not use the tools at our disposal, just that we forget what our engine, and are now unrecognizable names committees led by leaders, what where Christ is, how many of all these plans are actually backed by God? At the end seems not to matter if the leader as he has done well and been successful.
me be clear, I am not against the leadership that God has imposed, I am against those leaders who are giving priority to their personal interests above those of God and ultimately constitute more important than the Lord himself.
Today it seems that the image is more important to the community, prosperity, healing, miracles that salvation is true that you can get each of these things but I serve if I am not saved Acts 16:31 says "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved ... .." curiously does not say will be healthy, does it say that you'll be a millionaire, The Lord is concerned about our eternity and wants to move on him, then find total health, there is the real wealth. Today
spectacle of the "great and successful ministries" Clouds we look, we do not care what is preached if that makes us happy, no longer preaches the sin, not the coming of the Lord, repentance and Speaking is much more popular, health, miracles and most of all prosperity.
We care about convicting the brother that he smoked a cigarette or take a glass of wine, but permit them to use our pulpits to preach outrageous, then comes the evil day, that all we ever, and many are not in to sustain and goodbye church, forget God, no salvation, the truth never was, because he never talked about it.
"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is coming in his kingdom and to judge the living and the dead, I give you this charge: Preach the Word
, persists in it, whether or not timely, correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.
For the time will come that will not tolerate sound doctrine but, to suit their own desires, will surround themselves with teachers who say what their itching ears want to hear. Cease to hear the truth and turn aside to myths. You, on the contrary, I know prudent in all situations, endure suffering, take up the evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. "(2 Timothy 4:1-5)
