On Church Politics . . .

Church politicking in full gear with the power hungry jostling for position and influence?

Business meetings rapidly going downhill into destructive posturing and maneuvering?

Hidden agendas jumping out right and left, hindering the unifying work of the Spirit?

Weary of the whole thing and longing for the power of sacred worship and a deep soul connection defined by a pure servantheartedness?

Looks like you're not the only one ...

'I can't stand your religious meetings.

I'm fed up with your conferences and conventions.

 

I want nothing to do with your religion projects,

your pretentious slogans and goals.

I'm sick of your fund-raising schemes,

Your public relations and image making.

 

I've had all I can take of your noisy ego-music.

When was the last time you sang to Me?

 

Do you know what I want?

I want justice - oceans of it.

I want fairness - rivers of it.

That's what I want.  That's all I want.'

- Amos 5:21-24 {The Message}
