Romans 12:2 says Don’t copy the ways of the world. Let God change the way you think. Many leaders have strayed away from this and have a desire to fit in and be relevant. There has been a compromise to integrity with leadership. 1 Timothy 6:10 (KJV) says For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Leaders must remember this calling is not about them, their popularity, or financi...

2 commentsI believe some ministers of the gospel like the public stage and fame as they do in the world. I think some WANT to be sought after and catered to and not because of the anointing but because of pride. It is interesting to see who or what is the real focal point in service and where Jesus falls in all of it. In 1 Samuel 16:7 the Lord says, Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward a...

1 commentsI believe major ethical hinderance in the church is
Many ministries prioritize fame and brand verse spiritual integrity. Sometimes its more of culture than serving with humility and church mimic world or celebrity rather than servanthood.
Avoid addressing sin so they compromise the moral standard of Christ out of fear of membership. However, I also believe that those ethical hindrance can be tackled with the word of God. Romans 12:2 says and do not be conformed to this world but be tra...

1 commentsI believe there are many things that causes Ministers of the gospel to look and behave like the world. One that stands out to me is they don't want to lose members and other clergy friends but they want to(save face) not to embarrass themselves so, they allow some worldly things into the church like: certain songs that are supposed to be gospel but is made up from the sounds of blues songs or r&b songs, certain praise dances that are not appropriate for church service, using their position as th...

3 commentsOne of the major ethical hindrances, I believe, in the church today is the compromise of integrity to be popular, powerful, and for material gain. Many ministers have a worldly view of values, such as self-promotion, greed, and the watering down of God's Word as not to step on anyone's toes. This blurs the lines between holiness and carnality, causing some leaders to prioritize performance over purity and charisma over character. As a result, their moral conduct becomes more like the world, weak...

3 commentsWhat I believe to be a major ethical hinderance in the church that causes ministers of the gospel to look and behave like the world is allowing homosexuality in the pulpit and in worship. I understand that no sin is greater than the other; however, when homosexuality is flaunted in the church with no shame or conviction, it sends a signal to the world that it's acceptable and God is okay with it. That lifestyle is not okay with God, neither is fornication or adultery. The bible says in Leviticus...
