"The Plague of Counterfeit Leaders"

(1 Cor 5:12-13) read; The Church has been and continues to be bombarded by wolves, thieves, hirelings, and novices in positions of authority. while wolves and thieves will not likely repent, hirelings and novices may..We must learn and obey the Bible mandate to call these men/women to repentance instead of taking part in empowering these people with your time, and money..Christians can go from bad to worst, from the frying pan to the fire when they bounce from church to church..Most refuse to go to the word of God and rest there for a season while they study and learn the difference between genuine and counterfeit churches..Read 1 Cor 5:11-13; The context is concerning among other things, "sins of idolatry, greed and swindling" this is exactly what the problem is with false leaders!!
Claims of "God's purposes" by todays pastors are often nothing more than a cover-up for selfish ambitions of these people disquised as God's purposes..No christian should have to endure the merry-go-round and roller-coaster rides of a "pastor" experimenting on God's children to see what works..All they have to do is get one prophesy right and the christian believer will believe every thing that "pastor" say's, even when they know that God did not say a word..When the body of Christ undergoes this kind of experimentation, it's like a human body at the mercy of a demented doctor..No pastor/elder is allowed to depart from the clear teachings of the bible in order to try new things..Some are teaching doctrine, that have been doctored up to decieve people because they want to prove to others that they are ok especially if they have had a tramatic experience in their life such as; raped or molested..Some because they want to prove something to family or friends, wrong motives for ministry!!  Even worst, some are self proclaimed prophets/pastors..The reason that so many christians embrace the false teachings of many of these men/women is so that, they can keep the traditions that, they have grown so fond of even though Jesus made it clear, that man-made traditions are dangerous (Mark 7:13)..Christians who follow the traditions of men rather than the ways of Christ, have no clue that their worship(Sunday Service) is done in vain..If you are in a ministry that you are questioning?? That's your first clue that it may not be of God..Always remember that it's "God First", Family Second, and then Ministry..If your pastor comes before the family you are out of spiritual order, and most likely decieved...Blessings!!
