The New Millennium and It's Modern Churches

(The fall of the church 2000- 2024)

It is very important that we take time to look into the modern day church ministries. We must look at how they are ministering the gospel message if at all. We are living in very complicated times because knowledge is on the increased and confusion is everywhere. Technology has changed how the Bible is being moved received or even changed. The Bible is a perfect gospel message of truth, humility and a means to supernatural events and prophecy. Unfortunately these incredible works are often exploited by those seeking profit using the gospel. Many modern churches twist the word of God into doing their purpose, instead of God's purpose. We now live in the age of what is called the mega church era. Mega churches are just a way of supporting Christian masses that tend to bring in a notable fortunes for church leaders. Evangelicals are known best for the practice and will not think twice about using modern technology to expand their ministries. I do not wish to be the bearer of ill news towards these ministries but we must take a look. As they use our father's words through the gospel message they do so to gain a large amount of wealth. I feel I have to draw attention to the ill gotten gains they have acquired through the years. As you the reader may not know I do have a M.Div (Master of Divinity) and therefore I've studied in these areas extensively. I am both a certified legal Reverend and a Minister of the Church of Christ. Unfortunately because of my health issues I do not practice my own ministry although I’ve worked as an Alpha leader for years (Alpha Ministry outreach) and have created numerous Christian websites. Just adding notes for the reader to have a prospective on who is interpreting what is going on. My point is I've studied how the modern day churches are being run and I can very much show you I know what I'm speaking of. The main gospel message of our Lord and Savior Jesus has been lost in the new church age. Concerts and grand special effects from their wealthy presentations clouds the truth and feeds an illusion in a Christian assembly. Money, power and promises of God's great prosperity hang in the background as they lie to their congregation.

Truth is selective in the modern churches for the very fact that the Bible verses would point to everything opposite of what they teach. But I say this in their defense any gospel words taught are better than none at all. Therefore if they are able to reach anyone and get them into the Bible, that is something. Also those who get such ill gotten gain from the gospel message will themselves have to answer to the Lord. Philippines 1:18 "What then? Not with standing every way, whether in pretense or in truth Christ is preached; and I there do rejoice (Paul), yea and will rejoice." By reading what Paul wrote in Phil. 1:18 above we know that God is pleased anyway the people receive the good news of the gospel message. Even when the leaders use it for their own pleasure, if they stay on message it may help someone. Matthew 19:24 "For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven" So as you see they could use Philippians 1:18 verse to justify preaching for gain. The problem is they will have to justify to the Lord why they preach the gospel but didn't live the way. The way of the high priest which in other words signifies the leader of the church (Priest, Minister, Pastor, Reverend; etc). Hebrews 10:20-21 "By a new and living way which he hath consecrated for us (The priest) through the veil, that is to say, his flesh and having a high priest over the house of God" (Jesus is High Priest). Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering." Seriously the leaders of the church are the seat for the Holy Spirit of the Lord. If they are not preaching the gospel message Christ brought then they are antichrist. Hebrews 10:25 "Assembly of ourselves together, as the manner of sum is; but extorting one another; and so much more, as you see the day approaching". So many warnings are given to the priest/ministers on how they are to prepare for the coming of the Lord. But instead they are lining their pockets and forsaking the warnings given. We are given clear and concise instruction on what we need to do as leaders of the church of Christ. We have a responsibility to the congregation for our father's house. And as we all know Jesus preached the gospel of charity not of prosperity. In fact if anyone wanted to join him and his apostles they were instructed to sell all they have to follow him. If they truly felt the calling they did as he said. The Mega church has a different message and it's clearly misguided in their direction. Now one last important miss giving by the new age church: They're diverting from the message of preparing for the end times. We are all awaiting the time period just before the return of Christ in the clouds. For this is the time we are in the book of Revelation. We are witnessing many horrible things happening in these days and we'll suffer more as we live through it. We were warned of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse the seven angels with a vial of the wrath of God and we are warned of a coming antichrist. Jesus said of these words in the book of Revelation: Revelation 22:6 "These things are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophet sent his angels to show until his servant (John) the things which must shortly be done". (AKA: The Apocalypse) Revelation 7 "Behold I come quickly blessed is he that keepeth the saying of the prophecy of this book".

So what happens to those ministers who evade the book of Revelation? They have a responsibility to minister this very important message to God's children. If they are never told that hard times may come upon them when they least expect it they will perish. They will live in a continual lie of God's gifts of prosperity; they will not be prepared for the end to come and therefore may not be redeemed. All this by the hands of the leaders who led them a stray. It will definitely fall in the heads of them who ministered to their own needs and not the needs of God's children when that day comes. We hope and pray that the followers of Christ in the church will read the Bible on their own. Malachi 2:1-2 "Now you priests this commandment for you. If you will not hear and if you will not lay it too heart, to give glory on to my name saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and will curse your blessings". Imagine God's anger for not giving him glory. How much more will he curse his priest for failing to prepare his people or worse leading them into destruction. For that will be the end for many lest they be warned by the elect in time for the end. ReplyForward
