Impediment to Others

There are numerous pastors and preachers who like the limelight more than they like the truth. Their families - and children, are more or less just for show. They like to "talk" a "talk," but they do not walk the walk. They continue to engage in gum-flapping (in others words: phony talk), when in reality they shouldn't be "preaching" at all, because of their dishonesty. Not only is their dishonestly an impediment to others, but seriously also, even more so, to their own families.

 

Faith Without Works

Rather than flapping your gums, you should really "...show me..." instead, because faith without works is dead (James 2:17-18). #nopreachingneeded

Money and Ministry

If your belief system makes people and children look like they've been kicked around and overly programmed... and makes "God's ministry" and monetary control to go hand in hand - then I want no part of it. "...You cannot serve both God and money" Christ (Lk. 16:13 NIV).

Leaven

Human neglect. Hypocrisy (rising bread, yeast significance). Prescribed faith. Expose those who don't relate to those who are in need. Have you experienced real-life struggle firsthand? Hardship must not be overlooked. Warped ministry must be dismantled. What's an important truth? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy (Christ, Lk. 12:1 ESV).

 

The roboticized impact of organized religion affects everyone.

 

"Rather than help people, lets control them," says corrupt power.
