Another powerful way to quench the Holy Spirit is to systematize Christianity into highly programmed churches that are totally dependent on one man’s preaching and control. When sermons have replaced spiritual maturity, pastor dependency has replaced discipleship, and religious programs have replaced the leading of God’s Spirit, Christianity has been replaced by human control.
Unfortunately, the Gospel (the good news about Jesus) has been reduced to a weekly church pill. It has been turned into a sermon capsule that people generally swallow without thinking.
Red, white, and Bible religion is dangerous. Beware of Cross and country confusion. It can cause much corruption and deception.
