From time to time, people have asked me how one may recognise pretenders in the Church. Through my long experience in ministry, I have found that there are two early waning signs: • There is a lack of a sense of sin, and • They tend to idolise the Christian leader. Everything else may seem in place: they are full of praise to God, show many good works, generously support the Church, and so on. OBSERVATION: This post was prompted by a missionary who wrote about "setbacks, setbacks, setbacks, setbacks," brought about through office-bearers who had "shown their true colours".
