Church leaders just don't get it. Great big mega-churches are growing, but growing with people, who are probably not even Christian. There is a Political Correctness, which reveals that the church has escaped reality. Then the voices are limited to one to two pastors who control what is said. Just as the reformers were killed, burnt at the stake and persecuted, so any voice for God that is not according to the pastors agenda, is prohibited. Who would want to join a cult like this? Only the wilfully blind. To a degree, the greatest favor the mega-church pastors could do the country is to stand up before the congregation and say, "While we are growing in numbers as a congregation, but we are not doing America any good. We ought to divide into groups of 100's, 250's and 500's and establish disciple-making churches, relating to one another groups in our respective communities! This building will be sold and is no longer available."

I can tell you now! No money hungry leader is going to do that! It has become more about self than the well being of all. People think they can survive in a political correct church, be accountable to no-one, and grow as a Christian. They cannot. True Christianity demands relationship,. We were created, not only to be dependent upon the Most High God, but also dependent upon the Christ within one another. Christians have made themselves dependent upon the 'pastor's word' for the week. Hence, they are limited by the leadership and they limit one another. Gifts and callings are sitting in these large mega-churches are lying dormant. All to the gratification of the mega-church pastor and the detriment of the nation.

It’s just going to get worse! The pastors are just giving the people exactly what they are wanting.
