THE PROCESSED CHURCH- AND ITS ORGANIC ALTERNATIVE.
Posted by appolus on March 15, 2025
The great falling away isn’t about people no longer “going to church,” since the concept of attending “church” is foreign to the Scriptures. Genuine believers are the Church. The true falling away is a departure from truth itself. A building may be packed with people, but who are they spiritually? Are they radical followers of Jesus with deep relationships with Him, or compromisers who embrace Christ but reject the cross?
Those of us who have left religious traditions—I myself am a former Catholic—are well-acquainted with the Sunday-only Christian who checks a box by attending a service, perhaps even midweek gatherings, men’s BBQ nights, or women’s retreats. I call this the processed church. Just as processed food is altered from its original state for convenience—loaded with sugars, unhealthy fats, preservatives, and lacking nutrients—the spiritually processed church has also been altered for convenience.
What are the spiritual effects of this processed church? Consider the “added sugar”: elaborate stages, entertainment-driven worship bands, and smoke machines designed to hype people up, compensating for the absence of God’s genuine presence. Many nominal believers have never truly encountered God’s authentic presence and therefore cannot discern the difference.
Think of “unhealthy fats and low nutrients”: the Word of God diluted, compromised, and stripped of its true nutritional value. These “fats” are sermons focused solely on worldly success, prosperity teachings, and self-enrichment schemes, creating spiritually unhealthy Christians who must continually rely on shallow injections of emotional hype to stay spiritually “alive.” The church system has taught its followers dependency on itself rather than complete reliance on Jesus.
What’s the solution? Revolution—a total abandonment of this processed religious system in favor of something pure, raw, organic, and unaltered by worldly additives. Without such radical change, the current system will collapse under the weight of worldliness and self-centered doctrines disguised as salvation.
There is a growing hunger, especially among younger generations raised within spiritually unhealthy environments, for authenticity, radical commitment, and an uncompromising devotion to Christ Himself. They desire a church wholly devoted to Jesus, characterized by quiet reverence and genuine holiness. A community where believers edify one another according to Scripture, where prophecy, exhortation, wisdom, tongues, and interpretations are practiced. A fellowship without hierarchical leadership, led instead by humble elders and deacons who serve selflessly, desiring no recognition or financial reward. A place that equips believers to live radically, to embrace suffering for Christ, proudly bearing the cross and the scars upon their backs as marks of their love, devotion and authenticity.
This is the organic Church—unprocessed by the world, radically committed to Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.

Like? Where’s the Love, HalleluYAH, Praise the LORD Button.
Amen Brother Frank.
iF, people aren’t in agreement with this THEN they haven’t been reading the WORD of GOD to understand that “we” are to become ONE as the Father & Son are ONE and we would be ONE with them
See:(John 17: 21-24)
Not to mention as I noted above IF…THEN
All through GODS Word is IF you do this…THEN this.
We MUST be receiving the meat of GODS Word and off the baby food.
Blessings Brother.

Amen brother Frank. One of the last times I commented on one of your posts I was deeply desiring to come into a real genuine fellowship. We were babes in Christ and had entered into all of what is called church today and wanted to run a mile from it. So at that time we came to be part of a small bible study with like-minded people. Unfortunately in the end, it turned out to not be biblically correct and put us under the law which took a long time to come right again. But the Lord being so merciful and patient lead us to a church in Limerick where we have been blessed with a firm foundation and believers who seek and desire to follow Him without all the worldly nonsense. I thought it was impossible to find such fellowship in these times. But there are still people who fear God and love His word without compromise.I am currently listening to the series on the blood covenant, which I will share and hope it blesses ye.
How God can use a vessel who will not comprise and only teach the word of God. Praise God for people like this in this hour.
Hope you are feeling well again brother. Niamh
