I understand exactly what you mean. When churches begin to look like competitors instead of fellow worshipers, it becomes a problem. The noise, the rivalry, and the constant comparison can distract from the true purpose of the Church, which is to reflect Christ and serve people in love.

Addressing this is not about fighting anyone’s faith, but about calling the Church back to unity, humility, and genuine service. No one needs to “win” or “lose.” What needs to be retained is the truth of the gospel, sound teaching, and Christlike character. When those are the focus, competition fades away naturally.
