Almost nothing remains which follows the pattern of the New Testament church either in organization or power. Simply look around you.

The so-called "hirelings" you speak of, many served for nothing or next to nothing for a long time before they were able to draw a full time salary. Just because you only see what they do once or twice a week doesn't mean they aren't working daily for the church or the cause. If you have a problem with the Church and the leaders of the Church, take it up with God---it was His idea.
There is more right with the church than wrong with the church.
