WHEN THE CHURCH BECOMES A BUSINESS by Nobody: 9:10am On Mar 28, 2016 |
WHEN THE CHURCH BECOMES A BUSINESS 1) Pastors function like CEOs 2) Members are turned into customers 3) Other churches are seen as competitions 4) Evangelism is reduced to marketing 5) Church planting looks more like franchising. 6) Numbers are primary measure of success 7) Prayer and Word study are replaced by formulas program Revival is reduced to a few days fund-raising 9) Preaching sounds more like motivational speech. All the people do is shout "I receive, Amen," throughout the concert. I mean the "service". 10) Praise and Worship is turned into a performance. The best actors are made the worship and praise leaders. 11) The Spirit of God is reduced to "emotionalism". No real power of God other than hypnosis and sensationalism. 12) The saints are entertained instead of equipped 13) Disciples of Christ have become papa's sons, daughters and fans. 14) The Church, a living Body has now become a lifeless body 15) A leader's empire is built instead of the Kingdom of God advanced 16) The pastor becomes the super man and Jesus Christ reduced to just another religious figure. |
