Making God A Priority Again
When Ebenezer Talks with Pastor Milton Bunting tackles "touchy subjects" facing the modern church, urging listeners to "make God a priority again". Pastor Bunting confronts the critical questions: "Why has the Black church lost its power? And why has the Black church lost its people?".The podcast highlights a departure from genuine faith, where:The church no longer talks about God with the same fervor; instead, there's a troubling focus on "prosperity" teachings like "call it and haul it, name it and claim it," which is deemed "the biggest lie ever told".People have "left the love they had in the beginning" for God, trading it for "good time and some good living".There's a lack of reverence for God, even within the church, with distractions like phones replacing devotion.The church has mastered the "science down pat" with technology and modern amenities, but lacks the "power of the Holy Spirit" and the presence of Christ.There are "too many performers and not enough prophets," leading to a "surface religion" where "church attendance doesn't equal intimacy".Individuals have made careers, relationships, social media, and even church roles "more important than God," with the warning that "whatever you put before God becomes your God".Ultimately, "When Ebenezer Talks" is a passionate call to "bring back to our remembrance the God that we used to love" and to "fall back in love with God". It challenges listeners to seek a "real bonafide encounter with God" that goes beyond mere provision, recognizing God as mind regulator and protector. Pastor Bunting emphasizes the urgency to "revamp our priorities before it's too late" and reminds listeners that God "never fails".
