Michael Horton is a Presbyterian. I'm sure his church is no exception for a christless Christianity according to Witness Lee.

As an outsider, Lee could have a proper perspective. It only takes a little leaven to ruin the dough, and once the leaven is in the dough you have to throw it out and make a new dough. So unless Horton renounces Presbyterianism he cannot solve the problem. Horton addresses the problem of Christ not being preached from the pulpit. This is only a bandage solution. He does not go deeper into why that is the case:
Presbyterianism preaches presbyterianism
Catholicism preaches catholicism
Lutheranism preaches Lutheranism
etc
The Bible already gives the solution:
Rev 18:4 "Come away from her, my people.
2 Cor 6:17 Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,
Until Horton comes to the realization that coming out is the only solution, nothing will change.
