We have merchandised the anointing so much, that church is 90%business and 10% actual ministry! You would be amazed at theprofessed Christians (to include clergy), that don’t actively win souls.There is more emphasis on raising money in our churches than there iswinning souls! And it is killing our churches. Yes some of the moneypreaching churches have large numbers! I have visited many of themand they have one thing in common, they keep the congregation hostageby telling them if they don’t give they won’t be blessed!So everyone is waiting for the“sanctified lottery”with God! Outreach is not popular because there is no “payoff” to the carnal minded clergyman and their churches. You can’t get a speaker offeringfor witnessing and preaching on the street. The modern day preacherlooks at street preachers like they are buffoons or unlearned simpletons with no real credentials. Well I beg to differ! In this wicked generationwe need some modern day John the Baptist! I have won more souls onthe street than I have from a walnut stained pulpit. We have to get back to the basics and fulfill the Great Commission!If pastors stressed soul winning as much as they stress giving andhonoring themselves maybe our churches would be filled with committed Christian converts. You may think I am being hard onpastors but I have to be because in our modern system of church government, it is the pastors that call the shots! Whatever the shepherd feeds the sheep is what they get. You want soul-winners? Then preach soul winning!
