Doctrine seems to be a FORGOTTEN issue as
We move closer to the Lord's return
Today ‘big’ churches are built by men with
Strong entrepreneurial skills and weak exegetical skills
A lot of them live on emotion; they leave God out of the equation
Heresy is easily accepted when you have a crowd with emotion
In such a context you can say certain things and people will believe you
Today a lot of ministers are undiscerning when it comes to doctrine
They want their own lives to shine without any problems
They want to be ‘liked’ by everybody
We should be cautious when all men speak well of us
Because the Gospel will disturb the peace!
I see many big churches going down the wrong road
All they have is the message of ‘prosperity’
Prosperity should never be the main message
Churches have big numbers because of this message and
So they regard big numbers as proof of success and divine blessing
Today many ignore doctrinal correction because
They know if they do that, they will lose members
So they constantly preach a feel-good-message
People had to be corrected in Jesus’ day (religious leaders) and
So a lot of His words were strong and harsh
We need to do the same today
May God strengthen us!
