I have not been a blogger in the past but felt like God was leading me to look into it. This is the first blog that I happemed upon and I must say that it has peaked my interest. What I am about to say may be harsh but needs to be said. I believe that a vast majority of churched in this country and probably around the world deal no in Christianity but whitchcraft. What do I mean by that? Well I believe that whitchcraft is nothing more than control of one human being by another and that is what most churches try to do. They tell you waht to do, when to do it, how to do it, where to do it and on and on. Is it for the benifit of the Kingdom of God? In most cases NO!!!! It is for that churches benefit. I heard someone once call most churches personality cults meaning that the people were there more for the person that gave the sermon every sunday than for christ. I have alot to say about the church today and I hope to be back I see that this topic is fairly old but I hope that it keeps stirring people.

Dan,
I can appreciate this post. What did you decide to do? Did you leave church? I know of a family that went to the local church pastor for a counseling session on finances. They arrived for their appointment. The pastor asked them if they tithed. They replied they weren’t currently. The pastor announced that the counseling session was over and he couldn’t help them. I don’t think they even made it to his office. They were hurt and left church. The couple eventually were divorced. That pastor left alot of wrecked lives over a decade, but praise God his gone from here.

Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
I can see that James doesn’t mention mortgages here but it looks to me like the principle is the same. Especially here in the richest country in the world.

We are to help yes…but helping is more than handing out the $$ ….get into thier lives and help them reconfigure how they spend….THAT is what an Acts 2 church is…

Church was meant to be community. Community was to share with each other. Community was to have simplicity - at least with Jesus that was how it was designed.
I also am in agreement with the author. Churches are also spending way beyond their means. I personally am on a search for church as Jesus meant it to be. There are bits a pieces of it all over.
