| Message | I totally agree with your observation. For example, in our counrty, the growth of number of churches and their members is tremendously fast. But the biblical Chriatian life is extremely detotiating due to the common problems you mentioned in your observation. Currently the boards and the pastors as well as leaders in different positions are fighting each other in our local church. Because some group are accusing the other one for disobiedance to their authority and the accused group is trying to defend its position at any cost. Some other churches in the counrty are fighting on ethinical differences, still some are fighting due to age differnces, the old and the young.
But everyone of us is pretending to be good christian. But we need to check ourselves with the original teaching of the Bible the way we reflect our life to the community, our church, our city, neighbours, family members and even to our ownself and ultimatley to our Father in heaven. And then return back to the foundation, the biblical truth, rest and be saved as it warned by the prophet Issaiah in his book in chapter 15. Otherwise, we have to be ready to harvest the fruits of our actions which are mainly founded in traditions and norms our mind set.
God bless you and your ministry. |
