Churches Segmentation, Part 6 - Politically-Centric Church

In recent days, much has been made of Michael Pfleger's speech about Hillary Clinton. Basically Pflager accuses Hillary of expecting the nomination for the Presidency because she deserved it due to her political pedigree and race.

Why is everyone so surprised at this type of speech? As a former member of the AME Church, I heard this type of "preaching" my entire childhood. Nothing Pleger said was a surprise to me. Whether Focus on the Family or Trinity United Church of Christ, the emphasis of these ministries is, politics not Christ.

Ashamedly, many of those who lead these organizations continue to teach their followers to place their hopes in men, political processes and parties rather than the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who will soon rule and reign on an eternal throne. This type of teaching goes beyond the purpose of the body of Christ. It is a form of Godliness, while denying its power (2 Timothy 3:5). "Churches" that teach political hero worship have, "exchanged the Truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creator rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (Romans 1:25).

I ask that the Lord would come soon and set right the nations who defy Him. Just like the Israelites, man always desires a Saul in lieu of a Messiah. May the Messiah come and set up His kingdom - Soon.

Maranatha.
