HOW TO TELL A DEAD CHURCH
This sound bite is from the late 90’s by John Cherry. It reminds us of common conditions in a “dead church”. The appropriate text is Revelation 3. Is Christ knocking at the door of your church trying to get in? After listening to the sermon outtake, see if you can think of other biblical indications for a dead church.
Remember what Jesus proclaimed in Lu 19:40 But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!". Never take for granted that because miracles or supposed miracles are occurring in a church that the church is alive. Recollect that the donkey talked to Balaam but the donkey wasn’t saved.
Nu 22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
Nu 22:29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
Nu 22:30 And the ass said unto Balaam, [Am] not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since [I was] thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
Often the heart of man is hardened that they're unwilling to face the truth. Even more so they ignore plain clear truth in pursuit of their desires. Balaam desire was money but it can also be relationships, titles, status and etc. It is this blindness that will allow a man to bring his wife and daughters into a church where the pastor can not keep his pants up! They prefer to take a sword to the word of God and His true prophet rather than change.
The donkey speaks and rather than accepting the the word of deliverance Balaam wishes to kill the donkey. That is the attitude of the deceived in the church when the truth is presented. Therefore Christian apologist such as John Coleman, I.C. and Melvin expect to be slandered and attacked.
So are you sitting in a dead church and ignoring all the warning signs surrounding you? Are you elevating the pleasures gained in fellowship with the dead church above the admonition of God to seperate yourself.? Are you choosing to curse yourself in pursuit of worldly pleasures? 2Co 6:17 "Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you.
Are you welcome in the sight of God or are you intentionally sitting in a dead church?

SO WHAT ARE SOME OTHER SIGNS OF A DEAD CHURCH
Keep posting content like this and bless God for the way he is using you. The "sheeple" are subscribing to the heretic message from the Word of Faith and New Age Theology. They are calling themselves "gods', calling things in the air and falling away from the central message of the gospel!
Thanks be to God I have escaped my dead situation, Pulpit Pimp and heretic Word of Faith theology. I don't know why I stayed so long when I knew something was not right. The Holy Spirit was directing my steps. Now that I am out and I have turned to CHRIST and GODS Word I feel like a new man with a new found knowledge. This apostasy Word of Faith and New Age Theology is what the Anti Christ is going to use in these last days.

Why does the revival tarry? It is because God's
people tarry to obey the powerful command of
the Lord in Rev. 18:4. This is the most powerful
revival message of the Lord to his people in our time.

As in the days of Lot, it is now. Lot was not interested
to leave Sodom. God sent two angels to rescue him.
One of the angels said to him: "Flee for your life sake ..."
Just like as Lot, God's people are not interested to leave
the great Babylon, but finally they must flee for
their life from there.
