The modern church has perfected the
methodology for emergence of megachurches. But still, Christ is coming
soon – none will be able to claim they were deceived at the judgment. If Christ
is not the hero in the movement you find yourself in, then pause and reflect
again. If teachings and convictions of your parade do not strongly pass the
test of sound Christian godliness, then it cannot be the work of the Holy
Ghost. If your discernment warns you that this is a great show or a
business – do not debate with your conscience - flee for your soul. Instead
drink deeply from the wells of wisdom preserved in the writings of the early
church …almost everything “new” in Christianity would be moldy in a few more years…
Movements
can accomplish a lot and be very impressive but will always fail to produce
Christlikeness simply because Christ was not at the heart of the movement in
the very first place. It is not surprising that standards are routinely
falling and we are told by well meaning zealots to relax the measures that test
the truth of our faith.
Psalm 11.
If the foundations be destroyed, what
can the righteous do? [4] The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S
throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
As you deemphasize
or even disdain the word "holy" and all it represents in your
movement, do remember that God is still in His holy temple.
