October 23, 2006 There can be no unity, however, when sin and
hypocrisy masquerade within the church, when discernment is non-operational, or
when all the gifts God ordained to function in His
body are not being used for His glory. Are the intercessors being encouraged to
pray for the shepherds of the flock? Are the
intercessors and the shepherds waiting for the mind of Christ as they seek the
Father’s heart? Are both remembering to keep the main
thing the main thing in the local body? Many 21st Century Christians have lost
hope in the local church: they see no one
addressing the basics – like holiness unto the Lord. There are large numbers of
Christians who know and love God and crave fellowship with Him and others of
like mind; they are seeking the true body of Christ, the common ground to unite
and worship God. God has always
had his remnant, the Holy Nation of Peculiar People who choose to believe the
report of the Lord. Too, God has established His faithful
shepherds, those in whom he has put a heart for the little lambs of the flock
and for the sheep of His pasture. And with all their
strength, they labor among us to diligently do what the Apostle Paul counseled
Timothy (II Tim 1: 14): ‘Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you –
guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in you.’ |
