"When a ministry becomes the ground".
I guess that could just about say it all for my experience. One day I looked around me and I realized that Witness Lee's ministry had become the ground of the local church. When I was a new believer I didn't really notice the inherent problem in this because there was so much material, and I barely knew the OT from the NT, so I kept obliviously busy, but eventually it became clear to me that a ministry had superseded Jesus as our source, our way, and our goal.
