In every dispensation, God has always desired truth in the inward parts (Psalm 51:6) and genuine shepherds who care for His people. But throughout history—and especially in the dispensation of grace—many have turned the church into a marketplace rather than a ministry.

Today, countless ministries prioritize money over the message, profit over people, cash over Christ, and fundraising over faithfulness. Paul warned repeatedly that in the last days, many would use religion as a tool for financial gain (1 Tim. 6:5). Instead of preaching the Grace Gospel (1 Cor. 15:1–4), they preach a Greed Gospel.

This message exposes why so many modern churches chase money instead of souls—and what true believers must do about it.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍

Modern Christianity is drowning in a sea of emotional manipulation, entertainment-driven services, prosperity preaching, and financial exploitation. But God’s true program in this dispensation is clear: Preach Christ crucified, teach the Mystery, and care for souls above all else.

The church exists for edification, not for exploitation.
It is a hospital for sinners, not a business for salesmen.

𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍

Discern Carefully — Not every church that looks alive is led by truth.
Detach Boldly — Leave ministries that merchandise your faith.
Devote Deeply — Follow Paul’s gospel and cling to sound doctrine.

Stand with Christ, not with counterfeit Christianity.

𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒

Seek Ministries That Preach the Cross, Not Cash
Support Shepherds Who Feed Souls, Not Fortunes
Stay Grounded in Paul’s Gospel, Not the Prosperity Gospel
