We should not be just
caring about our own interests. There is a “style” of “Christianity” that, to
put it simply, is not Biblical. It is a “Christianity” that is born out of monetarist
capitalism and is highly competitive. Where people really only care about their
own lives and do not care about the lives of others in their Church or
Fellowship. In this environment the mega church is seen as a successful Church
and the small Church is seen as a failed Church. The only way to get out of
this problem is for the Church to be filled with the Holy Spirit and obedient
foremost to the Word of God. The Scripture says that we are to do nothing from
rivalry. For many of us “society” says “do all things with rivalry and compete
against others, even in and between Churches.” This is just as un Biblical as
cruel dictatorship or mean communism. We should really consider about these things deeply and pray.
