But no one will ever bow to us. Jesus alone is the exalted One. Jesus is Lord. God gets the glory. Making it about exalting us or bring us some right of prosperity is just slimy and wrong.

To: The Ghost of FReepers Past

"But no one will ever bow to us. Jesus alone is the exalted One. Jesus is Lord. God gets the glory."

I agree with that in complete fullness. There is a thing called honor which we must understand. I honor and respect those in the body of Christ who are over me (namely my pastor), but many in the church are simply following men who are following themselves.


"Making it about exalting us or bring us some right of prosperity is just slimy and wrong."

I think the Lord does want His church to prosper. It's just that people abuse that and get rich off of it.

They make merchandise of God's Word.
