The American Church has become another corperation, like any other fastfood chain or department store.

Are you just realising this now?
I mean seriously... what isn't about money these days?

Im just tired of finding a comatose congregation in every church I walk into. I know Jesus said that where 2 or 3 gather in His name, He is there, but in my area it all canned sermons and pot-lucks. I visited another church just last sunday, and it felt like the Manson Family was holding the service. America is in bad shape.

You may want to look up a assembly like en.wikipedia.org... . In all the time I went they never preached money or passed around a plate .Their doctrine is quite sound biblical and although they may bring in a special speaker from time to time they don't usually have a paid pastor but instead share the work among themselves . a reply to: BELIEVERpriest
