The leaders and educators of Mennonite Church USA and other church communities are increasingly adopting worldly views of compassion, love, peace and power. The powers of darkness are attempting to merge deceptive world views into those of the Bible and the true church. The God of Scripture alone rules his church, not mankind. Without spiritual intervention, the power of the church will continue to diminish. Soul-searching prayer and Scripture reading is the only answer. Church leaders and educators seem to be disinviting God’s participation in decision-making by a lack of scheduled, dedicated prayer gatherings among themselves.
