Christ has little or no authority in the Church today. He has been reduced to an ordinary symbol. "All hail the power of Jesus name" is the Church's anthem and the Cross her national flag. But in the day-by-day conduct of her members and in the week -by- week services, some one makes the decision and not Christ.

Under proper condition, he is allowed to exercise a little authority, and thereafter pushed back to a corner.

Yet Christ is consulted by increasing numbers of persons with "problems" and sought after by those who long for peace of mind. He is widely recommended as a kind of spiritual psychiatrist with remarkable powers to straighten people out. He is able to deliver them from their guilt complexes and to help them to avoid serious psychic traumas by making a smooth and easy adjustment to society and to their own ideas. Of course this strange Christ has no relation whatever to the Christ of the New Testament. The true Christ is also Lord, but this accommodating Christ is little more than the servant of the people.

Can you recall how many times Christ has the final say in Church board meetings? Or Church programs? Rather, He is always called upon to bless our agenda and plans.
Even when the scripture is quoted, it is quoted and used wrongly.

His Lordship are only sang from the Church hymnals, but in practice, it no where to be found.

So called "GO'S" and "men of God" have replaced Him. They run the show, while he watches. We run our lives and it will be a crime, if He interferes.

Where is the position of Christ in your life? Is He your Lord and Savior or just a symbol?

Jesus Christ is not just a Savior, but Lord.

Put your life in order first and you wouldn't worry about others not doing theirs. A better life with Christ begins with you. I stopped reading when you said so-called GO's and men of God.
That alone is a sin in the body of Christ. Respect and honour those who lead you in the faith. It may not be pleasant, but for your own good , it's necessary.
Criticising Christians on social media for unbelievers to laugh and have a wrong perception of Christianity is also a problem.
Take care of yourself, others will do the same

Yes because they have subverted the authority of Christ. They have made themselves Lord. " One of them once said: " if you want my grace to work for you, you must bribe my angels". These are the enemies of the cross; they are wolves in sheep clothing, parading as servants of God; the are robbers.

Should we fold our hands and watched them lead many to eternal destruction? Look, we must call them out where the erred. They have made the gospel of Christ of non effect. Look at we call Church today? It no where near the new testament Church

The Church has engulfed itself in a rut and rot and is heading toward the "dark age". Unbelievers only laugh and have wrong perception of Christianity, because we are only Christians on Sunday's and worldly other days. Our lives are the opposite of what we preach; we are sometimes more worldly than the world.

Where is the position of the Church in the world today?

He has NONE

Hmmm

Very true. A pastor will sing "He will do what He promise to do" with one side of the mouth, and tell a member "if God promises you something, work towards it if you want it to come fulfillment".

What happened to "looking onto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith"? So, we need intermediaries to Jesus Christ, Who is our Intermediary to God, right?
