Media preachers and big stage pulpit showmen are like crack.
They offer a feel-good escape from reality to those who feel otherwise detached …
Often causing a downward spiral of more isolation with ever more dependence on their feel-good “fix.”
It rarely ends well, except for the “spiritual” huckster.
In contrast, real life, real faith and real church are played out between real people in real community – where we have real opportunity to work through real issues and find real spiritual health and maturity …
Together, as we build up each other through ministry one to another like the New Testament commands.
It’s not always easy …
But it’s always our choice.
Don’t settle for counterfeits.
