I saw a local church's newsletter this evening. It is trying to become one of the mega-churches we all here about. In this magazine, they had an article by a former pastor who I knew. He has now left the COG and aligned himself with this major church. The last time I visited this church, I ran into about 60 people who I knew from local COG congregations. They all told me that this was there home church. I even lost a former minister of music to this church. Now, believe me I am not jealous of this church, but I am sick of uncommited people. Many of these people are looking for one of two things. They either desire to be noticed or they desire to stay in the background.
I wish would not say God led me or sent me to this church and this is where i'm to stay and work. Then up and leave to keep up with "Jones". They take the benefit of the COG time, talent, and resources to benefit some independent church.
Then the COG is now using many tv preachers to preach our conferences and campmeetings. I'm not against this, yet I am against them being called upon more than our preachers. This is wrong and I see more of this happening. Why are we having a church body, if we don't use are own people.
More Later,
Steve
