1. Leaders do not love each other.
People keep on saying, “There is no such
as perfect church.” That is true either but to live constantly without the bond
of Christ’s love in the church is a devil’s lie. Leaders do not protect each
other but tearing each other apart. Most of those who should be model in the
church are double-tongued: they say “I
love you!” in the presence of someone but burst hatred in behind. Hypocrisy –
they wear a mask and portray something that they are not. They live in pride
and instead of humility. They are pointing fingers to other; they do not want
to be counted accountable when situation get worst.
2. Activity without Purpose.
Our church
remained idle for how many years. Believers meet only on Sundays. After the
Worship service people are gone. No time for qualitative talking. No fellowship
except the two hours of meeting every Lord’s Day. No visitation, No prayer
meeting. No Bible Study. The result is a noticeable decreasing attendance every
Sunday. Vacant chairs are greater than that of the number of believers who come
to worship God on Sundays.
When the
leadership perceived the problem, the purposed of building up a group to settle
this matter had been organized. Some leaders are appointed to do the task of
visitation and Sundays Schools. But when some of these men do not find any
interest on what they are doing – quitting is their necessary tendencies. And
then, the needs are not met.
When people do
not know the purpose of their activity or the reasons of their appointment, when
people do not know why they do what they do, they easily get loose to what is
assign to them.
3 3. Members do not cooperate.
The problem is not just with the
leadership but with the members as well. Cooperation is impossible when
children of God had more time with world than the Lord. Members have more time
in their own personal material gain. They can’t even just give a one whole day
with the Lord. They are always in a hurry. They fear their bosses more that they
fear their Master. They always seek the supply rather than the Supplier. My
point is the members obstacles why they can’t get into the service of God is
their own lust. I have seen a lot of Christians whether young people or adults
who have more time browsing their Facebook, who spent much time watching
Television. They have fun with the things of this world but unhappiness with
the things of the Lord.
4. Spiritual Stagnant.
Who can tell
that someone can survive on this kind of Church? The outcome of this chaos in a
church is forming a vacuum on someone’s spiritual life. When leaders do not
love each other, how will obedience to the Word of God will portray. When
activity does not have purpose, what will be accomplished? When members do not
cooperate, how someone’s gift will be used?
The Lord has
called His church from darkness to light for that light to shine bright in the
life of the lost and more specifically to the life God’s children. There is no
such as perfect church but an imperfect church is called to serve the perfect
God. The Bible tells us to be perfect because He is perfect. Isn’t He is
calling His church in the same way? In particular, I am not talking about sinless
perfection. But the Church is called to manifest the light that comes from our
Lord Jesus Christ. To love just like God love us while we were yet sinners by
sending His Son as the perfect atonement for our sins.
In conclusion,
I am not telling that a church member should leave a church because of these
reasons. My primary purpose for drawing these things is for the church to pray
and asked God’s guidance so that everything will fall into their proper places.
If you can add
more to these reasons, you can comment what you know below.
