M.E. was
born of necessity.
Observation and experience are two wonderful
teachers. Many times, their lessons come through much difficulty and force us
to reevaluate our beliefs and practices. In the past 20 years I have served on
the staff of 3 nationally known pastors and one world famous creation
evangelist. My family has seen God provide for the building of His church and
we have seen men who were so greedy of gain that the church was hurt and
confused by their actions, lack of action, and grotesque sin. Weather serving
on staff as the youth pastor, assistant pastor, or simply as a staff
evangelist, I led souls to Christ on a regular basis and was responsible for
more baptisms than anyone else on staff. My family has watched as God provided
exactly what was needed for the ministry and then observed that provision be
misappropriated to serve as a promotion tool of the senior administrator. This
is not a document meant for self-justification but its content, documentation,
photos, and video will allow anyone who reads from my personal testimony and
experiences, a new way to view what is the ROOT cause of the problems in our
Christian Nation.
I am not a genius but I do have access to a large group
of scientifically advanced minds. They have taught me to understand the basic
laws of science and what the results are when applied to the work of the
church. While he was living, Albert Einstein gave us the perfect definition of
insanity (When someone does the same thing over and over the same way
and consistently expects a different result.) The two first laws of
Empirical Science state that, facts or evidence must be 1) observable, and 2)
must have the ability to be replicated. Today’s leaders of Christianity have
been seduced to believe that their job is making a couple of visits each
week, performing good funerals, socials, revivals, camps, and conferences, and
then three times a week preach hard to the members that attend the services.
The results of this practice never reach the effects of Pentecost, they never
see 3000 saved at one moment, nor do they ever completely change an entire
town. Ac 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple,
and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and
singleness of heart, Ac 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the
people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should
be saved. This is not what we find taking place among the
administrators (pastors) of the post-modern church age. In a county of over
30,000 people, there are several people wanting to be saved each and every day.
Yet, our leaders are simply not obeying the GO of the GOspel.
By simply observing (Empirical Law 1) the
ineffectiveness this has had upon our society, it would seem that they are only
the servants of a lesser god. But one must understand the conditioned response
of the general church member, they think their pastor is such a great man of
God because he is popular among his camp, has an honorary PHD or received a PHD
from some unknown paper mill university, or because he is so loving and
affectionate. They are also deceived into thinking their church is “on fire”
for the Lord because there is a good singer or choir special that makes
everybody “tingle”. Even though each of the members in the congregation
that have a secular job knows the meaning of productivity in the workplace,
they seldom apply this standard to the one who holds the office of “pastor”.
Most of them work at facilities that can prove a man’s worth by what he has
produced at the end of the day. But the office of pastor has become such an
elevated professional administrative position that regular members no longer
judge their performance by their productivity.
The seducing spirits came upon Christianity
in the 50s when the pastors started doing the work of traveling evangelist,
thus neglecting their flock and their community. (Public School
activities, committees, students, and administrators) Instead of
keeping the skilled and Holy Spirit filled evangelist that traveled this
country leading campaigns that closed down brothels, bars, and gambling joints;
these new pastors found a way to receive the salary of a regular paying job
while simultaneously pocketing thousands of dollars in love offerings as they
traveled among their contemporaries. No longer did the congregation hear evangelist
ask them if their pastor was an effective soul-winner. Instead, they would hear
the visiting pastor instruct them on reasons that their pastor should not drive
a used car or have to mow his own yard. This exchange of professional
subterfuge worked and masses of Christians looked to the pastor with the
biggest church who, in his multiple responsibilities would not have time to
attend the PTA meeting, serve on the public school curriculum committee, eat
lunch at school with his students, or attend any of the ballgames. This mass
exodus of pastors from the public school and community left our society open
for attack through the forces of Satan disguised as humanism. The resulting
effects took place within a 10-year window that started with the removal
of prayer from the schools in 1963 to the destruction of the unborn in 1973.
Still, American Christians
are seduced by the mega church movement with all its entertainment, open
acceptance, lack of church discipline, and materialism. M.E. is a
ministry that has and will continue to engineer ways to bring the church
back into the community. Through the use of media, technology, and excitement
we want to captivate the attention of the general public and be as John the
Baptist was to those who were looking for something real and meaningful.
