Its difficult to find a house of worship that abides in the uncompromised Word of God. So many place themselves on a higher position of membership in the Body today.

Revelation 2:5-7
King James Version
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

The issue, it would appear, in many if not most of our churches is that the preacher (through education and study of commentaries) has made himself the authority over the word of God rather than allow the word of God to be the Final Authority over him and his message. These guys are known as Bible correctors and all it does in the end is to cause the people in the pews to lose confidence in the Bible.

It is a sad reality that most of the commentaries that are written are done so by men that were not even saved and even reject the inspiration of the scriptures, claiming knowledge of the originals which they or no one else over the past centuries have ever seen.

The preacher that simply trusts God and His ability to preserve His word unto all generations; that God which has elevated His word even above His name: that rears back and proclaims God’s truth is sorely lacking in our current generation.
