The Progression of Cultic Leadership: Thoughts on The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill | GARBC
From our earliest days, recorded in the book of Genesis, fallen humanity has been obsessed with worshiping the creature over the Creator. Today this propensity is often manifested through infatuation with celebrities and compelling personalities, which is expected in a world without Christ. But it is tragic when it happens within the church. In Christian circles the consequences of man worship or following a cult of personality are, sadly, spiritual shipwreck and deep disillusionment. The worship of man never turns out well—whether it is found in the pages of Scripture or experienced in one’s own life. God will accept no substitutes for exclusive worship and loyalty to Him: He demands that He alone be glorified (Isa. 42:8). No exceptions or exemptions are to be made.
