When people in the Old Testament tried to build their own human edifice to reach God …

He didn’t tear it down, but just made it irrelevant.

As with the Tower of Babel, so it is with what we call “Church” today …

With its unbiblical, man-centered human traditions like million dollar special buildings designed for spectator seating under a monopolizing “Senior Pastor” and his weekly performance by the special few on a raised stage each Sunday morning – all under the guise of “worship” (so called) to attract ever bigger audiences and induce a big collection to keep funding it over and over again, week after week.

Maybe it hasn’t collapsed yet under its own weight …

But God sure seems to be actively exposing it these days as not really of Him and making it increasingly irrelevant.

Those who know the times see the need to get with God’s agenda instead …

And start gathering as the relational, participatory, multi-gifted Body of Christ once again – with ministry by one another to one another for the mutual building up of each other – just like God actually commands and ordains in the New Testament.
