Dead Bread in the Church

Marianne is complaining here.

Now I know why many Sunday morning sermons are boring. Many pastors have turned to “Sermon Writers” on the internet, getting their sermon materials from someone else. This way they do not have to spend time alone with God, and they are free to pursue non-spiritual interests, or worldly obligations they have gotten themselves into.

Here is one site:

Then, to add insult to injury, they take up a collection, so they can be rewarded for seeking God all week, on our behalf.

Get real…… 😦

Then, to make it worse, they give warnings to remind us, that if we do not pay a tithe, to give the pastor his “due,” God will not bless us.

Get real…… 😦

There are many pastors who are not right with God these days. Their attention turns to their secretary, or the local buffet restaurant, or the TV set, or their own family. The family part, in moderation, is ok, but ignoring God to do it is not right.

Then, at the midnight hour, they search out a sermon on the internet, or wait for a pre-paid email subscription with attachments, to dazzle to congregation with “their anointing.” They misrepresent someone else’s thoughts as their own. People pay every week to hear this stuff. In medicine, we call these people quacks.

This is really cheap. They need to resign. They do not spend the time with God they should, and waste our time. We can download, or subscribe to this stuff ourselves, and save the money for our gas tanks.

For this website, I sometimes spend long hours meditating on something. There are some topics I thought about, and studied, for years before I wrote about it. It is my desire to share the excitement of God’s word with people, to let them know it is alive, and not dead. When I finally post something, I am really inspired or fascinated by the topic. It is my passion, not someone else’s. And I do this for free, and out of a love of God.

Many people are leaving the church. Instead of true, living bread, recycled sermons are offered. The pastors are dead, and serve dead bread.

If the church is to teach newly saved people, they need those who are on fire for God, and present the Word from their hearts. Otherwise, the newly saved will either fall away from the faith, being bored, or they will become as stagnant as the pastor.

This was just  to wake people up. Ok. I am finished!!
