"Corporate Christianity" is about the Hi-Jacking of the Christian
Tradition by Double Minded Pastors; that is putting money first and
God caught-up somewhere in the mix. God says seek ye first His
Kingdom and His righteousness. The soul-saving power of the
Christian Church is held hostage by the prosperity
preaching/teaching of double minded Pastors. This was not God's
intent for the birth, life, death, shedding of blood, crucifixion
and resurrection of Jesus. Nor was it Jesus' intent when He told
Peter upon this rock I shall build my Church and the very gates of
hell shall not prevail against it. God is angry everyday with
wickedness. Something is drastically wrong with the preachment in
modern day Christian churches. In Minority communities there are
Church-Houses on every corner and dope-houses on the other. In the
Majority community there are magnificent cathedrals in affluent
neighborhoods. Yet, there is an astounding decline of moral
integration in American society. Without a doubt, eleven o'clock on
Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour in American
society. Jesus lived, preached, prayed, and died for the "moral
integration of flesh and spirit." God says I know your works. I see
you before you see yourself.
America is in need of a renaissance of the human spirit, and the
Christian church must become the godly vehicle. Therefore, let the
church be the church, and allow what God ordained in the Garden of
Eden to continue; and, above all be proclaimed as the bride of
Jesus. The twenty-first century gospel of material prosperity over
spiritual prosperity, as proclaimed by some pastoral leaders, has
no place in the Christian church. This materialistic perspective
has shaken the foundation of the church that Jesus proclaimed the
very gates of hell shall not prevail against.
Jesus is the solution to the mental-spiritual pollution running
rampant in American society, not guns. Jesus was not a warrior king
but a peacemaker king, and His gun was the truth. Truth makes us
free, not guns. The New Testament Writer Paul declares, "We fight
not against flesh and blood, but principalities and the rulers of
darkness in high places." The price tag on righteousness is high,
but the price tag on unrighteousness is even higher.
To be sure, the Christian church is not about a building made by
hands. "The God who made the world and all things in it, since He
is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with
hands; neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed
anything, since He Himself gives life and breath to all things: and
He made from one, every nation of mankind to live on all the face
of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the
boundaries of their habitation" (Acts 17: 24-26). The church is
full of pomp, circumstance, and emotionalism, but not a lot of
love, grace and service as exemplified in the life, teachings and
examples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Therefore, the
greatest line item in a church's budget ought to be benevolence,
not lavish pastoral life styles.
