Is there "sheep stealing" going on today? Judges 17-21

The story of Micah and his priest in Judges 17-18 is one of my favorite stories.   Here, in a time where everyone simply did what they pleased, we find a man with spiritual sensitivity, but lacking the knowledge of, or the will to, obey God's Word in the Law.   He so wanted a spiritual aspect of his life that he stole money, used it to purchase an idol of a god and even made one of his sons a priest for him.   When a Levite comes by, the Levite, with no spiritual sensitivity or will to obey God's Word, becomes Micah's hired priest.   The priest had a good wage, a good set-up and had little to worry about.   Until a better offer came along.  Note what happens when the Danites come by and steal the idols of Micah.  When the Levite tries to stop them from taking the idols the Danites make him an offer he can't refuse:

Judges 18:19-20

They said to him, “Be silent, put your hand over your mouth and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?” The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod and household idols and the graven image and went among the people.

This aspect of the story so reflects our churches today.  Both member and leader of our churches are looking for the next best thing.   Members swap churches like most people swap cars.   Every few years is nice to get a new one.   The leadership of today's Church is just as bent on the next big thing.  Ministry follows the pattern of what is popular rather than the principles of God's revealed word.   Sheep stealing has become an excepted way to build the church.   It is doubtful that when Christ said He came to build the church that He meant that one church would build on the membership of another by employing the next great thing.   This priest in the story of Micah found it to be better to be with a tribe rather than a man.  Although he made a commitment to the man the tribe was a better deal.   Paul stated in Romans 15:20 that he would not build where another man was building.   Paul knew the temptations of stealing from other flocks.   This priest didn't have character and was not lead by God's Word.  The Levite was lead by dollars and powers.   So, true of today's ministries and where the flock goes.
