I stopped going to church when I saw the emphasis on money. I get that a church has expenses, but maybe we need think about the more simplistic approach-gathering in someone’s home in small groups.
Same. My two cents….I’m thinking the churches got sucked into the “corporation first” mentality, unfortunately. It was too easy of a path to worldly prosperity for them to pass up. The pastors I’ve heard preach recently (I still do go to a church about once a month to help keep some peace with my family) are just as bad as lamestream media. They are all over the place with their message, just wanting to be “open to anything” to be liked or to try to put more people it the seats. From what I can tell, that type of confusing narrative is backfiring on them.

I used to say churches should not be political, but now with so much evI’ll, you need to wake up the masses anyway you can.
