Where is our precious book?

I noticed a couple of years ago that the Word of God was no longer the reference to figure out what could be done in the church, it was no longer the authority.

Any ''man of God'' could write a book and have it sold to thousands of churches and it was fine as long as it ''worked''.

It is not even permitted to question those books or methods. If we do, we're ''rebels''. We have a problem if we don't just accept and follow.

I remember one time, a friend of mine wanted to put in place a ''transformation path'' in their church. It was some kind of a book with some question about your past and what could've affected you while growing up. What made you the way you are. This book was supposed to bring one to spiritual maturity...
Of course, when you tell them that only the work of the Holy Spirit, the reading of God's word, prayers and trials will be bring spiritual growth, they tell you ''Yes, of course we know and you're right'' but nowhere in their books we see that. Nowhere the importance of reading Scriptures is underscored. We give our opinion, share our experience, etc... But we're not studying the Word of God...

From time to time we'll share a verse, preferably one about love or something that is not comfronting, nothing divisive or authoritative. I guess to make sure, we're still an ''evangelical'' church...

''The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.'' - Ps. 119:72
