Many churches have become capitalist in nature

by | Nov 6, 2022

Like the rest of the world, many churches have become capitalist in nature.

The focus is more on numbers than relationships.

???? How many people attended last Sunday?
???? How many got saved?
???? How many were baptized?
???? How much tithing came in?
???? How are we helping people with our finances?

None of this is focused on the person’s soul.

How are we helping their souls?

The mission given by God is to make disciples of the nations, not count numbers.

Our goal of the Church has changed from discipleship to counting people who claim to accept Jesus. Then we go back to numbers and focus on getting those who are claimed to be saved and getting them to volunteer.

We then say our church is a success because look at the number of baptisms we hold and the volunteers we have. We must be doing God’s work to see that success.

My point is not that big churches are bad, or that a church that appears to be thriving is bad.

It’s that when churches become big and start seeing a revival, their focus tends to be misdirected to numbers versus the souls.

And that is their biggest challenge. Because people who feel like another number, just like everywhere else in the world, then the church has nothing different to offer than the rest of the world.

Who does God value more?

Who does God value more?

There is a massive lie going on in Christianity, and it's coming right out of the Bible people use. While I initially thought it was just in narratives, and while I understand that some "Bibles" are just hot trash (The Message), I did not expect that some of the more...

I am a sinner

I am a sinner

I am a sinner. To some, this is an incorrect statement; it doesn't exist. To others, this is an empty statement, accepted and meaningless. To many, this is a shameful admission, a low view of self. And to the few, this is a statement of life. This statement is the...

What could Jesus have done with our technology

Some days I think man, what could Jesus have done with our technology and understanding of people today? Think of the impact He could have had. His voice could have been heard across the world all at once. Why wait thousands of years for it to get to only 90% of the...
