Get a loan, rent a building, put a big sign outside with a catchy name like 'Impacting the Community church'. And dont forget to put your name up as well with a honorific title such as Pastor or Reverend.

When the people start piling in tell them that God spoke to you in the middle of the night a while back to lead His people and start a church.

Now start gaming the system. You are going to need money and lots of it. Malachi 3 will be your corner stone for support.

Never mind that this is OT and not only that but it is directed toward the priests for mishandlngly the food stuffs, see Nehemiah.

Use this carrot to entice the folks to greedy lust by promising them cash falling from the windows of heaven though it was really speaking about rain on the crops. The sleight of hand is an art to be learned.

If that doesnt move everyone on to the tithing band wagon, start preaching some fire and brimstone waitng for the God robbers. Hey...whatever works right?

To get a bigger crowd into your little kingdom, you have got to entertain the sheep. Get the best rockin' and rollin' band possible. The better looking they are does help. You need some movie stars as it were. The prettier the worship leaders the better.

Keep the musicians on their instruments so they can down crash a chord or two while you preach a house a fire. Emphasis is oh so impressive and the beauty of this performance tends to shake a lot of dollars, beyond tithes, out of wallets at offering time.

But here's the number one skill you must cultivate and maintain. Never teach bible truth. Twist it, change it, skirt it, take away from it, add to it, but never, i mean NEVER teach the pure simple liberating full council of God's precious word to dumb sheep. Where you are very fortunate is that most sheep never search the scriptures 'to see if these things be so'.
You may encourage the sheep to 'study to show yourselves approved unto God, rightly dividing the word of truth' but then you sweat bullets hoping against hope they dont take you up on it.
The 'gospel that was once delivered unto the saints' must be avoided at all costs or it will cost you everything ....your false self exalted position and your lucrative income.

Pimping the gospel for fun and profit by hirelings is about as easy as falling off a spinning greased log heavily laden with banana peels.

W.C.Fields quipped 'there's a sucker born every minute'. Or is it 'born again every minute'?

Wake up to His word folks. There will be no last days revival, only apostasy. See book: the bible.

If all else fails there's plan B...

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
(Mat 16:18)

If you feel led to start a church, first get on your knees and plead with God till hot tears roll down your cheek and if it is His will then it will happen, even if you just bounced a check. By faith and knowing it's His will and not your own. Jesus said if I be lifted up. Amen

Are tank tops appropriate apparel in the Tank church?
Looks like the Grim reaper atop the tomb of Cardinal Cinzio Aldobrandini (which is in the church San Pietro in Vincoli Rome)





There is also one made of bones in one of their all bones places, on the ceiling



Creepy

By the title of the thread I thought Yet might start giving some solutions from his point of view but instead more sarcastic slander. Are we to just run with antitypes?

It is like T.V. evangelists do not really believe the Bible,but they found an easy way to make money,because some of them have odd teachings,and try to act as if they deserve that money,but the Bible says the preacher is not to be in the ministry for the money,and have food,and clothing,be content,and the early Church sold all they had,even houses,and lands,and distributed to each person as they had need,and Paul said he coveted no man's gold,or silver,money,but only ministered unto his necessities.

Which is T.V. evangelists are supposed to be of God,and knowledgeable in the word of God,how can they miss that in the Bible,when a common pew sitter can see it as plain as day,and any preacher for that matter.

The truth is they love money,so they interpret the Bible that way,or they ignore it,or they really do not believe the word of God,but found a way to make some easy money.

And that is a good point,for there will be no revival,but only apostasy,for the Bible says in the latter days,which is the last days,of the last days,real close to Jesus coming back,that many shall depart from the faith,following a false interpretation of the Bible,and the last generation speaks of people's attitude getting worse,in wanting to exalt them self,and the last days of them being lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,and highly selfish,and arrogant,and many hypocrites,and evil men shall wax worse,and worse,and since iniquity shall abound,the love of many shall wax cold,and the last Church age where they are neither hot or cold,but lukewarm,so God will spew them out of His mouth,and like the days of Noah,where people were going about their business not believing the danger coming in the future,and mockers saying where is the promise of His coming.

It does not sound like revival,but apostasy 101,and a lot of people are taking the course.

it isn't his word you want us to wake up to and also the church is not a building
