When the pulpit is used to advance personal agenda, promote, elevate or defend oneself; when the platform becomes a fundraising, guilt tripping place of manipulation; when the sermon becomes a political rally for the party of choice, biblical truth soon is replaced by human ambitions and desires.
A dead church does not always lack attendance, a dead church lacks focus on God and His truth.
So true. It is sad. May God open the eyes of them who indulge in such things. Help us that we may not get entangled in similar things.
