Psalm 127:1 ​After five decades of walking in the faith, we have watched the rise—and the catastrophic fall—of the ultra-wealthy mega-church system. Ministries that boasted tens of thousands of members and pastors living in royalty-like opulence are imploding before our eyes. Leadership is tearing at the seams with shocking scandals, leaving millions of forgotten, invisible believers lost in the crowd. ​The truth we must face is that the modern church model is a failure. Even many home churches have become scaled-down mini-models of the very systems people fled from. In the secular world, they call failing corporate giants "too big to fail." These megalith ministries became too big to fail—but there is no bailout coming. ​We are living near the end of the age, and this system has left the masses spiritually starving and disillusioned. Jesus is letting these houses of cards built on shifting sand fall down. They all need to fall. He is calling each and every one of us to run directly to Him, to know Him for ourselves, to break out of the mold, and to follow Him. It’s time to let the dead bury the dead and return to the true Shepherd.“God is more concerned with our character than with our achievements. Achievements have importance only in the realm of time. Character is eternal. It determines what we will be through eternity." ― Derek Prince#megachurch, #churchscandal, #followjesus, #faithunfiltered, #propheticword #JoanieStahlsFiledNotes ​
