Today, loss of profit justifies almost anything, because we are told
we must always produce and maximize profits at the cost of everything
else, especially people’s welfare. Since the Industrial Revolution the
one and only goal of each individual has become to invest the least
and get the biggest returns from every activity we do or relationship
we have. In other words, we have become over time more and more
self focused like the corporations we learn to imitate. This preoccupation
with self is also Satan’s prime characteristic, second only to his pride.
Satan is truly self first, he always benefits while others pay the cost.
We should certainly not be allowing our churches to follow this
corporate style model. Jesus told the Pharisees that though they
claimed their father was God, their actions showed their real father
was Satan ( John 8:1 – 32). We also claim to believe yet our
corporate style actions reveal we also behave like Satan.
Protecting the sacred profits should never be the goal of a
true church or its members. Jesus never commanded us to “go
forth and mazimize profits ” in His name when he gives believers
the great commission to preach His Word to all the nations.
We are not near as good at compartmentalizing our lives as
we think we are, self – first philosophy shows up dominating
every area of our lives, including church attendance and worship.
We have most definitely become the apostate church of Rev
3:14 – 22. We worship the corporation, the most wordly way
of thinking. True believers in Jesus are commanded not to think
like the world, for the friend of the world is the enemy of God
(James 4:11). The Bible tells us how Christians are supposed to
act, ” honoring others above themselves ” ( Romans 12:10).
Churches behaving like corporations show us that
they are evil and the pulpit pimps in the video below are the very worst
of the wolves pretending to be sheep.
here are a couple of good links on Biblical giving and wealth
management:
