Serving Two Masters?

The meeting this morning at Keswick at Portstewart emphasised that "No man can serve two masters."  It is either Christ or mammon (money).
Yet this impossibility is being attempted on a massive scale within conservative evangelicalism.  Some Christians try to have it both ways.  But it cannot be done successfully without dire spiritual consequences.
But this principle is attacked in a much more subtle way, and with the very same consequences.  Ministers and other Christians and also church members are trying to ride both horses - the Gospel and the church.  But no man can serve two masters - so said Jesus then and He still says it now.  Ministers have to choose whom it is they will serve unreservedly. 
And it does not seem to matter what the church does, says, thinks or believes, Christian men will still serve her best interests before those of the Gospel.
Why is this?  Answer: the Gospel costs, but the church recognises and rewards.  Faithfulness to the Gospel demands sacrifice, but faithfulness to the Church gets you a DD.  Serving the church gets you on to all kinds of influential boards and committees, but serving the Gospel is guaranteed to block any such appointment.  Serving the Gospel will lead inexorably to a Cross, but serving the church will get you promoted.
It ought to be that Gospel men are welcome within the Christian church, but that is not necessarily the case.  Especially in theologically mixed and compromised denominations, they are only tolerated because they give their first allegiance in practice to the church in which they serve.  With a Chairman's position up for grabs, who in his (or her) right mind will jeopardise that! 
There is great need for an in-depth re-appraisal of our priorities as Christians and as Christian ministers, an in-depth re-appraisal that will bring the ministry and church back to the Bible, not just to the embracing of an orthodox theology (important that that is), but to a living and vital relationship with Christ that will not be ruptured even by the church and her demands.
