When the Churches Crash :: By Keith Black

Andy C

Well-known
The Bible has warned about the coming FALLING AWAY (Crash) and the Collapse in the Christian Religious community in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. The FALLING AWAY is not the Rapture (evacuation) teaching. It is a COLLAPSE in Christian values. It is more like a STOCK MARKET CRASH. If the Christian Church was a STOCK MARKET, then the STOCKS would be the FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT as mentioned in the Bible. Here are the stocks: Love (caring love), Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. These are the investment-grade stocks that make you rich in God’s coming eternal kingdom.

The things that will CRASH the church begin with FALSE TEACHINGS, including PORK-BARREL PREACHING (Prosperity Preaching. When Preachers like Rick Warren, Benny Hinn, Joel Osteen, Oral Roberts, Robert Schuller, and many other Pork-Barrel preachers have promised that God will MULTIPLY YOUR INCOME 100-FOLD for making big donations to their ministries, they sound exactly like politicians in Washington who make promises of pork to their supporters.

These Pork-Barrel preachers never deliver on their promises that God will multiply your income 100-fold. They bankrupted old ladies who donated to them. They are preaching another gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). Also, 2 Peter 2:3 “And through covetousness [incitement of covetous sales tactics] shall they, with feigned [vote buying] words make merchandise of you; whose judgment now for a long time lingereth not, and their judgment slumbereth not.”

When the Pork-Barrel preachers fail to deliver on their promises that God will multiply the donors’ income 100-fold, or on the promises of healing, they leave the people in the congregations sorely disappointed. Then the people become bitter and blame God, but the ministers were false prophets. This can CRASH THEIR CHURCHES in a hurry.

People who never really got saved but got religion are extremely vulnerable to falling away and crashing. If you jump off a high building or a high cliff, you are going to crash when you reach the bottom. The results will be fatal.

Another false doctrine that can take people down is NAR: New Apostolic Reformation: Let’s call it Nationalist Apostolic Revolution. That is really Christian Nationalism, and it is really a political ideology. Dominion Theology is part of this, too. So is Kingdom Now ideology. Even Turning Point USA and Turning Point UK are part of NAR.

 
Interesting that the one fruit of the Spirit that Keith left out of his list of the fruit was essentially the subject of his article-- the one fruit that described what is missing in those crashed churches and the one reason for their crash.
