Paul Addresses the Ephesian Elders Pt. 11 External & Internal Wolves: Acts 20:29-32 (cont.)

The institutional church continually goes astray because it is perpetuated by those who have best interests of the institution in mind rather than the well-being of those who are born of God. Eventually the church becomes something it was not and was never meant to be. It becomes an association of religious consumers who have common goals and needs which have nothing to do with growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord.
