Our churches are being attacked by terrorists and we are apathetic to the war. Unrecognized demonic attacks on our churches may be the biggest threat to God’s work in America and around the world. Our churches are weakened, crippled and sometimes destroyed by moral or ethical failures by pastors and church leaders. The present divisions that are taking place in our churches are motivated by self-centeredness and immaturity. We have transformed our houses of prayer and worship to theatrical entertainment centers trying to attract the world. Well, we’ve done a good job. The church may be as worldly now as it has ever been in its history! And we have never been in more trouble. There is a drought of spiritually strong, gifted committed pastors. Our denominations are shaken and the leaders are at a loss for words or actions to curb the moral, ethical, and spiritual decline of our churches.
Friends, it is time to reprioritize our lives and commit more of our time, talents and resources to our churches. It isn’t the members, leaders or pastors that need purging but rather the sin that has become so prevalent and acceptable. We are in a spiritual war that needs to be fought on our knees everyday not just standing at “Sunday Morning Live!”
People, people, people we need to take steps to protect and strengthen our churches. We need Godly committed pastors surrounded by Godly committed leaders courageously leading Godly committed congregations to the “higher plain” of Christian living. Perhaps it needs to start with you in your church!
