For how many decades, maybe a century, has the church in America been selling the same religious stew? I hope you can feel my compassion for the situation as well as my passion for the Kingdom of God. We’ve been building multi-million dollar churches, mega church complexes, establishing international TV ministries, Conferences & Crusades every week somewhere, CD’s, Video’s, and all that is happening is that the religious culture is being changed to be more like the secular culture. The Christian divorce rate is 1% higher than the non-Christian divorce rate. When do we wake up?
Why do we need bowling alleys, food courts, basketball courts, work out centers, and “skate board ministers” as part of the church culture? Why not go to THEM rather than trying to lure them in to US?
The problems with the world are not blind imperialism, wasteful consumerism, immorality, abortion, environmental crises, or even global warming. Those are all symptoms of something deeper. The lack of leaven (spiritual) is the problem. Doing more things like the world, competing with the world “at their game” is a lose-lose strategy!
The religious horse is dead! 
Don’t be fooled by size of church buildings or budgets that run many tens of millions of dollars (and more) a year. Remember this advice by Albert Einstein, “You cannot solve any problem in the same state of consciousness in which it was created.” Bingo!
As Arjuna Ardagh put it, “Pigs grunt. Dogs bark. Penguins waddle. What do humans being do? What have we come to accept as the DEFAULT state of being of a human being”? Ever thought of that question?
What the church is missing in the connectivity to the Christ!
Spirituality- not religiosity!
Oneness- not separation!
Consciousness- not dogma and doctrines!
WE- not ME!
Instead it’s just one more rule, one more teaching, one more book, another $1,000 offering, a program commitment to church service, and on and on as though there was something MISSING! And there is the key. There is really nothing MISSING, just the non-acknowledgment of what we have! Another house, a new dress, a better car, more sex, another sexual partner, or whatever you think you LACK isn’t going to cure you!
From TV commercials to political entitlement programs we’ve been brain-washed into thinking we LACK and NEED MORE of anything- everything! What we really need is to change the default system on our mental-spiritual-emotional meter and realize we already have MORE than we’re using. Follow this brief logic.
We have God.
God is infinite.
There isn’t an infinite + something else.
