Why the church is failing

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Church. The Church is founded on Jesus Christ.

If we do not recognize the Lordship of Jesus Christ in the Church and in all of life, then the

Church will fail. I believe in the promises of the Word of God. The Church universal, the

Church collectively, will not fail. But that doesn't mean that individual churches won't fail. They have historically. They are failing today.

In Western culture, in the United States, the Church is acting miserably. And why, largely?

She doesn't recognize the claims of Jesus Christ. The Church is interested in all sorts of new programs. The Church is interested in its own popularity.

Pastors become megastars, celebrity pastors. And the Church is interested in bringing in all sorts of money.

And I've attended churches and talked to some of the pastors. First thing they do is show me all of their annex and all of their wings and all of the programs.

Again, there is nothing wrong with that. But God is not most interested in that. The question is, who is bowing?

How many are bowing in the knee to King Jesus? How many are pressing His kingdom on the earth? The Church is fundamentally failing today because it does not recognize the absolute claims of Jesus Christ in every area of life.
