has happened in the land:
The prophets prophesy lies,
the priests rule by their own authority,
and my people love it this way.
But what will you do in the end? - Jer. 5:30-31 NIV
I have wondered for a long time, as I look around at all of the mega churches and mega ministries, why our nation is not being changed as a result of their influence. Who is really being served, God or the ego of both those in lofty positions and the people who follow them. Most of those ministries contrast sharply with a solitary naked man wearing a crown of thorns and carrying a heavy cross up a hill to his death. We can't hold these spiritual leaders entirely to blame, because as Jeremiah so aptly noted, 'my people love it this way.' Still the question remains, for all of those who would seek comfort, security, and position from their God, "What will you do in the end?"
