Apostle James R Winfree Sr, Revealing The Truth Of God's Living Word In Christ Love:
A Crisis Of The Lord Jesus Christ Biblical Spiritual Truth In Our Places Of Worship!!!
We are suffering a major Leadership crisis here in America and in many Nations. Where are the godly Elders who know the Bible from cover to cover? Where are the bishops who can, and will, stand and exhort in sound doctrine and convict the gainsayers (Tit. 1:9).
There are still some great Preachers, but far too many who are serving in this capacity have been given the job because they were successful businessmen, had wealth, or possessed other traits that were wholly unrelated to tending the flock of God which comes in many colors and they are not all fat, rich, wealthy, powerful, movie stars, or look and act like you.
The church has on its hands a new generation of preachers who have matriculated through some of our schools (or denominational seminaries), but who do not understand the most elementary matters about the role of the gospel preacher. They are experts in everything except the Word of God and loving all people and souls.
These new preachers are theological clones who can scarcely frame a sentence that the common man can understand. They know nothing, teach nothing, and stand for nothing, but, unfortunately, numerous people love it this way and they follow them, believe in them, support them and even love them.
It is no longer the case that the average person in the pew is a good Bible student. Everyone has probably heard the old story about the judge who couldn’t find a Bible in his courtroom with which to swear in a witness. So he simply called for a Christian man and had the witness place his hand upon the brother’s head. These day people don't even need to bring their bibles to fellowship, they bring their ebooks. cell phones, you get it don't you?
The days are gone when God’s people were known as a “Bible-toting, Bible-quoting, Bible-living” people. Many members of the church never carry a Bible to worship, and they could not cite scriptural references on the most basic doctrinal issues.
Most of our schools are not the solid training centers they used to be. The time was when the presidents and faculty members of our colleges were great gospel preachers and teachers who knew how to powerfully proclaim the truth and win souls. They were rich in Bible knowledge. Many of our current administrators have arrived in their positions because they are adept at fund-raising even those in television ministries.
Sad to say, we have become so “degree” oriented that we have allowed the secular accrediting systems to structure our teaching programs according to their ideals. Many labors under the illusion that one cannot be an effective herald of the gospel unless he or she has at least a Master’s degree. Is it any wonder that some of our schools have become the Trojan horse by which corruption has wormed its way into the church.
Some colleges constitute one of the greatest threats to the church today.
The Bible school literature that we have produced in recent decades is woefully anemic. It is hard to find material that is strong in doctrine. The current slick and colorful literature are filled with case-study scenarios and role-playing exercises that rely more on human wisdom than a respect for the authority of God’s Word.
Our homes are void of biblical instruction. Domestic lives are so crowded, both dad and mom working, children are involved in school, sports, etc. that virtually all biblical instruction has been left up to the Bible school, which, in many instances, represents a sorry effort. A hastily-prepared, Saturday-night lesson, with a fill-in-the-blanks format, simply will not provide the foundation for spiritual stability.
Most congregations are suffering serious attendance problems. Only a fraction of the local church attends Sunday or Wednesday evening gatherings. Aside from the Lord’s day morning assembly, only a skeleton crew will attend the services of a gospel meeting. Almost no teenagers will be in evidence. It is utterly amazing at the casual way in which many children of God treat the meetings of the church. Neglect of the assemblies for trivial circumstances, even by leaders and Bible class teachers, is a common occurrence. All of your so-called praise and worship dancers is Not of God and your loud music is just a cover-up for the lack of the real anointing.
I Have So Much More To Share In The Days To Come With You All Here, The Media Church Without Any Religion Or Walls.
The crisis we face is real and deadly. Unless there is a revival of interest among Church leadership, unless there is some resurgence of the rich teaching of the sacred Scriptures, unless there is a rekindling of passion for the cause of Christ within the body of Jesus Christ, We All are Headed for rough times.
The church cannot flourish if she continues to drift in the same sluggish direction she has embraced in recent years. May God help us to responsibly address these problems in biblical truth, love, unity, and grace. Amen.
We Are Leading One And All To The Lord God Jesus Christ.
