I emphasize Bishop because even though both of them act under the capacity of Apostles, they are yet still under the title of Bishop. I've come to find that those who take on this Apostle title are usually pastors of storefront churches whose membership peaks at about 50 on a good Sunday. Despise not small beginnings, true enough, but also be a steward over the few things first and not jump out of your lane into someone else's.

Ummm, I don't visit my mother's church that often. I always make my way to my church on a Sunday AM.

You'd be amazed at what is discussed in the "inner circle".

Unfortunately churches have become a money making business vs. a soul saving ministry. I question if some of these revs/bishops/apostles were really CALLED by God because there's a difference in God calling you and you calling yourself!

Why are there thousands of mega churches with a memberships between 5-30,000 members, but the world is getting worse and the members [meaning the Christians] are becoming more confused?

Why are there four to five Christian channels on television, but the world is getting worse?

Something clearly isn't right.
