I agree with all my heart regarding the hyper-emotional, spiritually shallow (I am putting words in your mouth here Keith  ), biblically ignorant and underdeveloped saints that are dependent on the system and culture for survival! Churches are good, and they serve a great purpose in the community, but to make people corporately and socially dependent on them is a travesty.
There is a commercial on television for a bank where several bankers dressed very nicely in 3 piece suits are together looking up lapping their tongues like little birds in a nest. It occured to me this is how many many folks in the church receive their daily...strike that...weekly bread. |
I know, it's a uphill battle, it as though someone put the wrong original in the copy machine and we have been making copies from it since, I did, they handed it to me in Bible College, if you want to build an Apostolic church this how you do it.
Get a building, get a crowd, organize, organize. Lead them to attend so that they pray, pay and obey, walla you have a church that looks like the apostolic church, NOT!
No one ever went back to the original copy to question whether it was the correct one. So we are stuck with bad copies spread all around the country.
