Bible Note: Justme I agree with most of what you said. I think one day the churches will lose their tax deductions and I believe it will change Christianity in America for the better. As to your argument that by putting books before the people it will help them overcome such things as WOF and etc. Isn't that what a pastor is for.

We have commercialized the church and that is what churches are now judged on. Things like who has the best praise and worship, the most entertaining speaker, the best programs, the most to offer. What happened to local churches that preached the Word of God and people came to edify, encourage and exhort each other. They got lost in the tape tables, book stores, conferences, special performances, and rummage sales. EdB |
