The 21st Century Christian Church Corporation Has Forgotten What Real Church Is Supposed To Be All About
The Apostle Paul would not recognize today’s 501 (c) (3) Laodicean church corporation with all its building programs, fund drives and tax dodges.
Are you thinking of “getting into the ministry”? Keep your day job if you want to follow Paul.
“Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.” Romans 16:3-5 (KJV)
This article is going to make a lot of people, church people, hopping mad so let’s get right into it, shall we? The word “church” appears in the King James Bible exactly 77 times in 76 verses. And when I read over those passages giving us God’s perspective on what church is, and look around me at 21st century churches, I see a whopping disconnect taking place.
For starters, church is not primarily a place, the church is made up of people who have become born again. The people are the church, the church is not the church. Get it? You may need to pause a moment to allow that thought to fully sink in before continuing reading further. Suffice to say, the church is the people, as seen here:
“That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:27 (KJV)
Second, the church is also a gathering, be it large or small, of born again, saved church people. Many passages in the Bible refer to “the church” meaning a gathering of church people. Paul often refers to the gathered church as a corporate body. Just don’t make the mistake of confusing something that is “corporate” with something that is a legal corporation, they are not the same thing.
“If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?” 1 Corinthians 14:23 (KJV)

This is what it looks like when modern-day “pastors” prostitute themselves for money.
Lastly, no where is the New Testament do we see an official church building as a separate entity. When the apostles started churches, they went from “house to house” and from “town to town”, starting churches in the home of other like-minded, born again, saved believers in Jesus Christ. Having official buildings for churches would not happen until the hostile takeover of the Church of Jesus Christ by Rome. When this happened, all manner of corruption, greed, avarice and power struggles took place. Rome, by force, merged paganism with Christianity which resulted in the hybrid demon child known as the Roman Catholic Church. Schools used to teach the period of time when the Roman Catholic church ruled as the Dark Ages, and the period of time when the Christian church broke free from Rome’s grip as The Enlightenment. How appropo.
And this brings us to the “meat of the message”, church corporations.
The Apostle Paul would not recognize today’s 501 (c) (3) Laodicean church corporation
Pick a denomination, any denomination. Baptist, Catholic, Pentecostal, Charismatic, Lutheran, Methodist, pick one it doesn’t matter. Doctrine aside, what is the one thing they all have in common? They are all registered with the government as 501 (c) (3) corporations who get out of paying taxing because they are a “ministry”. Is dodging taxes, even unfair taxes, something the Bible would agree or disagree with? Let’s take a look and see:
“And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.” Matthew 17:24-27 (KJV)
Jesus instructed Peter to pay the tax to the Roman government to avoid “all appearance of evil” so as to not offend people they would be witnessing to. What an extraordinary concept, and something not found in any professing New Testament church in the 21st century. Why not? Keep reading.
Kenneth Copeland And Jesse Duplantis Defending Their Private Luxury Jets:
What does Laodicea in full bloom look like? It looks exactly like this.
What comes right along with the modern 501 (c) (3) church corporation? Church corporation salaries that need to be payed every week. How can you be sure you have enough money to pay those salaries? Easy! You go back to the book of Malachi and slap the Old Testament Jewish tithe on your decidedly non-Jewish congregation, and you preach on that thing as often as more money is needed. I have personally witnessed this unscriptural phenomena in everything from bible believing Baptist churches all the way up the line to the mega-church, and everywhere in between. Some do it overtly while others do it more subtly, but nearly all of them do it.
Since Christians are commanded to follow the example of the apostle Paul, (1 Cor 4:16, 1 Cor 11:1 and Phl 3:17) let’s take a look as see how Pastor Paul provided his wages:
“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.” Acts 20:32-34 (KJV)
“After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.” Acts 18:1-4 (KJV)
See? I told you this article was going to make you mad.
According to the Bible, the greatest Christian that ever lived, Pastor Paul, provided the bulk of his needs and necessities by working with his own hands, and then preaching on the weekends. Again, pause here, and allow this to really sink into your brain. This is how God intended for the church to be run and operated, not as a business with salaried employees.
This is why there is no command to Church Age Christians to give a set amount like 10% or any other percent. The Bible says that the Lord loves a “cheerful giver”, who gives as they feel led to, not because they have to. Paul received gifts and love offerings, but he didn’t depend on them, he didn’t live his life waiting to receive them. There was never supposed to be a “church corporation” being run out of a “church building”, that is pure Laodicean hogwash.
Speaking of Laodicea, Jesus prophesies that the last church age, the time we are in right now, would be a wealth-infused mega-corporation whose focus was on keeping the money flowing in while locking Jesus on the outside.
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:13-19 (KJV)

Christian Persecution
Street Preacher In England Warned By Police Office That The John 3:16 Scripture On The Back Of His Van Could Be Considered ‘Hated Speech’ Crime
Street preacher Mick Fleming in England was recently warned by police over the John 3:16 Bible verse he placed on the back of his van that it could be considered ‘hate speech’
I was browsing my news feed this morning when I came across this article on a street preacher in England, Mick Fleming, who lives in a van and ministers through his Church On The Street ministry. I have never heard of this guy before, know almost nothing about him, but I got saved on John 3:16, so anytime I see an article about that verse it always catches my attention.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJB)
The world is changing rapidly, the spirit of Antichrist is rising, and this lost world is preparing itself from the coming 7-year kingdom. England is a nation that have embraced Socialism, Islam and the LGBTQ, kind of sounds like America, doesn’t it? Any nation who embraces those things inevitably will, at some point, turn again the Bible and the people who believe the Book. Don’t think it could happen here? That’s what every people group thinks right before it happens. Use what freedom you have left, Christian, while you still have it to use. That’s the memo.
Police officer warns Prince William’s vicar friend that John 3:16 Bible verse on his van ‘could be considered hate speech
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Pastor Mick Fleming has been warned by a police officer that the bible verse on the back of his van ‘could be considered hate speech’. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Mick said: ‘I just thought “wow”. I just wondered what people watching this thought.
‘It’s not to argue but where have we moved to as a country where a bit of Christian scripture on the back of a van can be seen as hateful or spiteful? Maybe society is moving to a place where they don’t want faith-based people sat around a table in discussion with them… for me it’s an integral message of how real change is possible.’
The law says it could be considered hate speech if the wording is threatening or inciting hatred based on protected characteristics such as religion or sexual orientation.
Mick insisted that he has no plans to remove it as he asked his viewers to give their opinions on whether the scripture could be deemed as offensive.
He said: ‘I am not going to change it, I am going to leave it one but I thought it quite interesting about how it can be perceived. I have never thought about that being something spiteful or hateful in any shape or form. I wondered what you thought – do you think people would take offence to that, and if they did, why?’
Displaying bible verses publicly is generally lawful in the UK. But the law says it could be considered hate speech if the wording is threatening or inciting hatred based on protected characteristics such as religion or sexual orientation. After recently giving up all of his belongings, Mick now lives in a campervan which has the bible verse John 3:16 printed on the back.
The verse reads: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Now the priest has revealed he was approached by a police officer while at a petrol station in Lancashire, who told him ‘the writing could be seen as hate speech in the wrong context’. Despite being told he wasn’t there to arrest Mick, the officer said that ‘if someone reported it police would investigate, and he could end up in trouble’. READ MORE

REVELATION WARNING: A 51-Foot Idol Of Lord Ram Rises Up Over Mississauga As Canadian Government Calls The Event A ‘Moment Of National Significance’
A 51-foot idol of Lord Ram in North America was unveiled on Sunday at the Hindu Heritage Centre in Mississauga in Canada.
The Bible is quite clear, in the last days after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, Antichrist will come on the scene and he will be a very religious entity. So much so that the people in that dispensation will be having a 7-year revival of Old Testament idolatry. Not content to wait, they are getting the party started a little early. That’s the memo.
“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:” Revelation 9:20 (KJB)
The idol of the Hindu god Ram up in Canada stands at an impressive 51 feet high, but he has company. Down in Texas, a 90-foot idol is up in Sugar Land, a 25-foot idol is up in Hockessin, Delaware, with plans to install a massive 151-foot idol in Moncure, North Carolina. Kinda makes you think that someone has a plan to make idolatry great again here in America, doesn’t it?
North America’s tallest Ram god idol rises in Mississauga Canada
FROM THE HINDUSTAN TIMES: Thousands of devotees gathered for the inauguration, joined by prominent political leaders including Minister of Women and Gender Equality Rechie Valdez, President of the Treasury Board Shafqat Ali, and Minister of International Trade Maninder Sidhu. Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons was also in attendance, marking the event as a moment of national significance.
The unveiling of North America’s tallest Lord Ram statue in Mississauga sparked emotional reactions across social media. “From Ayodhya to Ontario, the name of Shri Ram echoes louder than borders. This is not just a statue, it’s a statement of faith and identity standing tall across the world,” wrote one user. Another noted, “Toronto, Canada: The tallest Murti of Bhagwan Shri Ram now stands tall in Mississauga — a proud moment for the global Hindu community In a land where Hindus have faced rising hostility from fringe Khalistani elements, this Murti is more than a symbol of faith — it’s a statement of resilience, peace, and presence. Sanatan stands tall.” Others chimed in with messages like, “Let’s make Canada great again,” and, “Grand and beautiful ❤️.”
“This is a spiritual gift to the community,” said Acharya Surinder Sharma Shastri, founder of the Hindu Heritage Centre. “The installation of this murti is not just a moment of pride, but also a reminder that righteousness must always be the guiding factor in our lives.” The statue’s location has made it an even more iconic symbol for new arrivals to Canada. As Sharma pointed out, planes landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport often fly over the temple. Now, among the first sights to greet passengers will be the majestic figure of Lord Ram — arms outstretched, a towering symbol of peace and resilience. READ MORE

NAME THAT TUNE: Words To A Long-Forgotten Sammy Hagar Song From 1977 ‘A Crack In The World’ Called For A ‘Great Divide’ To Take Place In 2025, It Just Might
A Sammy Hagar song from 1977 called ‘A Crack In The World’ seems to be a good fit for the end times mood here in 2025
We live in a world that has largely tuned out the God of Heaven, and taken His Book and thrown it on the trash heap. But oh, what manner of things He has hid in that Book if we would but read it, and believe it! In the Bible, we read about a God who likes to do small things, strange work and bring mysteries to come to pass. He has hidden the Truth in plain sight. That’s a little of what went through my mind as I read an email from NTEB’er James who wanted to bring an ancient song by Sammy Hagar to our attention. It’s called ‘A Crack In The World’, and before you just dismiss it, let’s open up our King James Bibles and see what the LORD would have to show us.
“Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.” Psalm 96:13 (KJB)
The Bible says “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;” When He came to the Earth, He came as a baby in a manger and not as the all-powerful King of Kings. God almighty in plain sight, but without the Scripture, you’d have no idea what you were looking at. Israel on May 14th is mere ‘Zionist aggression’ if you don’t have a Bible, it’s a fulfillment of prophecy if you do. Take a look at these lyrics written in 1977, by an unbeliever.
A Crack In The World by Sammy Hagar
I found out what it is that’s been driving me mad
There’s no room to breathe between the good and the bad
A crush in-between, there’s a thin, thin line
But just ’round the corner, there’s a change in design
I wish I could walk away
And dig what the preachers say
But those words don’t satisfy me no more
There’s a crack, there’s a crack in the world
There’s a crack, there’s a crack in the world
There’s a crack, there’s a crack in the world
Just fifty more years we’re all gonna know
Why, when, where, how, and who gets to go
So let’s all have a good time before the great divide
‘Cause things will start separating come 2025
So look for the subtle clues
It won’t make the front-page news
That depends upon which side that you choose
There’s a crack, there’s a crack in the world
There’s a crack, there’s a crack in the world, yeah
There’s a crack, there’s a crack in the world
How odd that these lyrics seem to echo so much of everything we have all experienced since 2020, that this world is literally being pulled apart by the tech overlords who are intent on building the platform on which Antichrist will rule for 7 short years. Interestingly, the song doesn’t appear to be referring to nuclear war or military conflict, but rather to an unseen spiritual force that will create a ‘great divide’ between the ones who will be leaving, and the ones who will be staying. The timing as well is quite curious as it places it 48 years into the future of 2025, the time in which we now find ourselves.
Consider the following:
- Global virus released in the end of 2019 – 3 million killed
- Global lockdown begins March 16th of 2020
- Global vaccine released in December of 2020 – 17 million killed
- Mandatory vaccine ID in 2021
- Executive Order to study creation of a digital US dollar in 2022
- Executive Order to create a digital dollar in 2025
- UN to declare a state of Palestine in September of 2025
You and I who are alive and remain have thus far witnessed a ‘crack in the world’, one that continues to grow and deepen with each passing day. The world will crack again when Palestine is recognized, and crack again when we who believe are removed in the Rapture. Somebody send Sammy Hagar a Bible, he’s gonna need it.
