*AS THE CHURCH IS IN PAINS, SOCIETY IS IN DECADENCE!*
My dear, the system has been rigged, the Church has long drifted, conscience has been sabotaged and truth incarcerated. These are renewed dark ages in the Church and *we should now be praying for real revival in the Church-* Revival of *conscience*, revival of *humane* considerations, revival from *Mormonism*, revival from *pulpit criminality* and evil *religio-politicking* , revival from *derailing motivationalism* and back to *simple biblical principles!* It's not the present revival of *"emotionalism"* and *"acrobaticsm"* but something more in depth, really reflecting on effective and affective characters that portray evident change.
Many in the Church leadership of today are even more confused than the unbelievers regarding *biblical theologies* yet they are carrying on and waxing stronger in *prosperity and popularity index* because there seems to be a new yardstick for measuring ministerial success - Money! And, the vehicle to carry it on is "motivationals" that seem to agree but not really consistent with biblical truths.
Surely, although the Church is still surviving, she is in actual disarray. Now, see how it has reflected on society today- decadence. The Church that was supposed to be the conscience of the society has herself become callous. Our Youths keep lamenting "Church is a scam" because of us, the leaders. The Church that the saints of old left for us is no longer there. What we would leave for the next generation, if Christ tarries, is "this thing" that we have left without conscience that has become a structure of "oppression, nepotism, fraud, hypocrisy, sychophancy, etc". May God save the Church from US!
