An endless parade of specialists in style to the growth of the church, has been repeating the same mantra over several decades, and multitudes of Christians and church leaders today accepted uncritically the idea. Your message to the world and the means by which that message has been prepared carefully by consumer relations experts to attract worldly minds.

Many church leaders have changed the way of seeing the gospel. Instead of seeing it as a message from God, which Christians are called to proclaim as ambassadors of Christ, now treated as a commodity to be sold in the market.

The more compelling question in the minds and lips of many pastors today is: What is true?, But what works? Many in

the evangelical movement have forgotten who is Lord over the Church. Have abandoned or rejected outright his true head and given its rightful place at pollsters and pundits who "make the church grow" ..

So wherever the Word of God is being replaced by twelve-step programs and other substitutes, the headship of Christ over the church is being denied in practice.

leadership styles popular enterprise-class church (where the pastors put themselves in the role of a CEO of a corporation, rather than being a shepherd of the flock of Christ) also undermine the headship of Christ on the church.

Such companies can be labeled, but often they are mere products of human ingenuity and carnal energy.

are works of wood, hay or straw in the words of 1 Corinthians 3:12, eternal useless to be consumed before the judgment-seat of Christ.

A correct understanding of the church begins with this recognition: Christ is the only true head of the church, and anything that interferes with their government has the seed of apostasy in it.

That also means that the earthly church leaders are junior ministers should serve the Great Shepherd. None has the privilege of making their own doctrine, design your own order of service, or invent their own ideas about what should be the church. Christ alone is the true head of the church, and only those who recognize their authority and bow to it unconditionally, they have the real right to serve as shepherds to their flock. All that remain are ravening wolves.

This should serve as a reminder about the future of the evangelical movement, and should serve as a reminder that we must return to fight the War for Truth.
