I must note that there are good churches, synagogues and mosques out there. There are pastors, ministers and other spiritual leaders who make a difference every week. But in comparison to the overwhelming amount of sin, crime and perversion in this country, ministries are failing as a whole. While the choir contests continue, pastors buy jets and write books, the world seems to be going to Hell in a handbasket. Christ said the gates of Hell would not prevail against His church so I must ask the question, are the churches of today really based on the church Christ created? If so, where is the power?
