The World is Taking Over The Church By Gracious Akintayo The church has opened her door for the world and the flesh to come in; and the church is being taken over by worldly affairs and fleshy activities. What comes out from most church pulpit is an expression of carnality by pretend pastors who manifest and demonstrate the power of carnality in the spirit of carnality in the atmosphere of carnality. Today, the church is carried away by mostly motivation and entertainment with refreshments. Soon, Christianity of pleasure will give way to Christianity of persecution and Christianity of motivation will…

Discipline and wealth are the…
