If a human individual, a Minister, Pastor, Shaman and this list can stretch into oblivion, claims to be a Prophet, a Visionary or that he/she are on a Vision Quest, what are the Church (people) expected to gain or lose?
The experience of Faith or Vision Quest is either true or untrue and often is false. Most times these claims create sizable financial gain for the “Blessed one.” And! Let the Babylon times begin?
Beyond the tithes and the collection plates, when the money starts rolling in, the cost of such fame or infamy is most simple. The Church becomes less of a church. The pulpit becomes a stage, a theater or a bully after-thought to when it was that “Little Brown Church in the Dale.”
“Oh, come to the Church in the Wildwood.” “Oh, come to the church in the dale.” “No spot is so dear to my childhood, as the Little Brown Church in the Dale.”
May Respect and Understanding and Peace and Love be with us all…Amen.
