I was shocked to personally
witness, note that Evangelical pastors do too readily abuse the human rights
of others in Canada, they do lie about them, slander them as well. It has
been traditional accepted that Human rights abuse is not acceptable in
Canada even if the church and state tend to be separate. And the Pastors
have wrongfully been getting away with abusing others. I do not quietly
accept it. Public exposure and prosecution of the guilty serves as the best
deterrent as well.. even of the mostly bad evangelical pastors in
Canada
(1 Cor 11:31 KJV) For if we would judge ourselves, we
should not be judged. 32 But when we
are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned
with the world.
(Mat 18:14 KJV) Even so it is not the will of your Father which
is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 15
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his
fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained
thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one
or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be
established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the
church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a
heathen man and a publican. 18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye
shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, That if
two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For
where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst
of them.
(John 12:27 KJV) Now is
my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but
for this cause came I unto this hour.
Think of it
Jesus himself now was even abused by the pastors of his own church.
And the abusers were next punished for it even by God and the Roman
Authorities. (Mat 23:38 KJV) Behold, your house is left
unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you,
Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh
in the name of the Lord.
A poor church structure, management
and the personal false pride of the pastor still is what mostly lets the bad
evangelical pastors abuse others.
(Oba 1:3 KJV) The pride
of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the
rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me
down to the ground? 4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and
though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down,
saith the LORD.
(Psa 55:8 KJV) 21
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart:
his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. 22 Cast
thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer
the righteous to be moved. 23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down
into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out
half their days; but I will trust in thee.
(Oba 1:10 KJV) For thy
violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be
cut off for ever.
(Oba 1:15 KJV)
For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it
shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own
head.
(Oba 1:18
KJV) And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of
Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in
them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of
Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
(Oba 1:21
KJV) And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the
mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the
LORD'S.
God still judges all people
for what they do here on earth, and abusing another person is not a sin that
God accepts lightly, even if you are a Pastor, elder, leader.. nor
is it one the government should accept lightly too now. Personal Repentance
is always in order even for the evangelical pastors now too in Canada, yes
those who do too often show a bad example by tax evasions, abusing others,
counseling divorce now as well.
(Psa 51:1
KJV) To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet
came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God,
according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender
mercies blot out my transgressions. 2
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight:
that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou
judgest.
And so now also what really Is
"Love" and how is Love now also involved dealing with the bad
evangelical pastors who do too often abuse others?
(1 Tim 5:1 KJV) Rebuke
not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men as
brethren;
Many Pastors
wrongfully try to state that this above verse frees them of any personal
accountability to anyone else here on earth now as well. It does
not.
When I started to love
the Lord, I started to love also the Pastor of my own local church. I
started to support him in his endeavors. But I also noticed that eventually
I had another ministry as well for I also started to rebuke the Pastor if he
sinned and did not repent, and to some persons this seems to be unloving,
the opposite of supporting him. But both acts now were part of
God's will. I had often prayed about this dual ministry for I
preferred to support pastors rather than to deal with, rebuke them. God in
repsonse told me he gives me the easy and also the hard jobs, the good and
the bad jobs. The policeman himself has to do a very bad job as well.
Arresting someone is not really a pleasant task. And not all judgment now is
in heaven too.
(Luke 12:57 KJV) Yea, and
why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
(Luke 18:7 KJV) And shall
not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he
bear long with them?
(Luke 19:22 KJV) And he
saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked
servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not
down, and reaping that I did not sow:
(1 Cor 5:12 KJV) For what
have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that
are within?
(1 Cor 5:13
KJV) But them that are without God
judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked
person.
(1 Cor 6:5 KJV) I speak
to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one
that shall be able to judge between his brethren? (1 Cor 6:3 KJV) Know
ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this
life? (1 Cor 11:31 KJV) For if we would judge ourselves, we should not
be judged. 32 But
when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be
condemned with the world.
Even if your pastor. elder,
priest is the one that is sinning now rebuke him but in love.. if
you do not rebuke him it is likely cause you do not love him too. (Rev
3:19 KJV) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.
Firstly if you love Him you
would personally talk about it with him face to face, even if he may not
want to have such a discussion. Few people really like to have someone one
else address their iniquities. But God raises still even prophets like
the Prophet Nathan for that function today.
I was sitting in my local
church for two years when God spoke to me directly and said you really do
not love this Pastor. Indignantly I replied "Lord what do you mean? I am
sitting in his service". God replied "you tolerate him but you do not love
him for if that was your local past pastor in Montreal and he had sinned you
would have rightfully ran into his office and asked him to repent, and this
other pastor has now been sinning, lying, stealing, abusing others, even for
years as you know and you have done nothing about it". I replied "Lord God
you are right please forgive me. And God help this pastor to repent". A few
days later God said now go to speak to the pastor and ask him to repent. But
God I prayed you would do that, help him repent and God replied I am going
to use you to answer your prayers.
Sadly this was not the first or
the last pastor in Canada that I have personal gone to face to face and
asked them next, now to rightfully repent of their now too many wrong
doings here on earth, and the majority of them did not. Most of them 90%
next were removed as pastors next by God directly, even original church
founders too.
And during this persecution
that tends to follow when the likely unloving Pastor refuses to repent,
likely 90 percent of them still, the same persecution that is not ordained
by God still God shows us his love, clearly God speaks to us personally as
to how much he loves us inspire of the negative fact others do not.. God
loves us. That is important even above all that God loves us... and we love
him cause he first loved us.
John 13:34 A new
commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.
Jesus stated it another way; "love
your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and
pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.”(Mat 5:44) He went
on to say, “love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in
return; and your reward will be great.”(Luke 6:35)
In Lev 19:18, God
said, “You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the
children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am
the LORD.” Later in Mal 3:6, His Word states, “I am the LORD, I do not
change!” Therefore you are to “be kindly affectionate to one another with
brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.”(Rom
12:10)
God says “how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to
dwell together in unity!”(Psa 133:1) I want you to understand that “if
one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is
honored, all the members rejoice with it.”(1 Cor 12:26)
Did you
notice that God’s Word states that “Love never
fails?”
(Psa 109:4 KJV) For my
love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. 5 And
they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
The
above verses clearly illustrates the fact while we are showing love to
others, some people wrongfully in return curse us, try to harm us, persecute
and oppress us even because they are still wicked, do not want to repent.
And during this persecution that is not ordained by God still God shows us
his love, clearly speaks to us personally as to how much he loves us inspire
of the negative fact others do not.. God loves us. That is important above
all that God loves us... and we love him cause he first loved us.
(1 John 4:19 KJV)
We love him, because he first loved us.
(1 John 4:20 KJV) If a
man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that
loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath
not seen?
Even though others may not love us God loves us
still.
(Song 1:15 KJV) Behold,
thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves'
eyes.
(Song 2:10 KJV) My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise
up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
(Song 4:7 KJV) Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in
thee.
(James 3:12 KJV) Can the
fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no
fountain both yield salt water and fresh. 13 Who is a wise man and
endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his
works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter envying and
strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil
work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of
righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
I have expereinced that
when Christian leaders, persons genrally abuse the others it is often
because of their false pride, not their humility as
well.
(Psalm 73:6 KJV)
Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as
a garment.
(Psa
124:1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may
Israel say; 2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when
men rose up against us: 3 Then they had swallowed us up quick,
when their wrath was kindled against us:
Note this God will still
judge everyone.. periodically as well here on earth... and next in
Heaven.. and real rewards will be given out too.. and we do not get the same
rewards.. or the same recognition... Christians and non Christians get
judged now too.
(Gal 6:7 KJV) Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
(Mal 2:16 KJV) For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he
hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the
LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not
treacherously.
I thouraghly question every devotional that I do
write, particularly when it seems to be change streams in the middle of a
series.. I have often noticed that God would do a series of related messages
but he would also interject something that seems out of the way. I pray
about it and God tells me it is his will and so I post it and often that is
the one that someone really needed to see, to get too.
(I 16:9
KJV) And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of
unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting
habitations. 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful
also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if ye have not
been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which
is your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will
hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and
despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 14 And the
Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided
him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify
yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly
esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Many pastors wrongfully still
do not even handle the basic properly too.
We do also need to be
rightfully concerned now about the lost professing believers as well.. that
includes bad pastors now too... who abuse others, steal, commit adultery,
divorce..
(2 Pet 2:14 KJV) Having eyes full of
adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart
they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
(Mal
2:1 KJV) And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for
you.
The Book of Malachi in the Old Testament is addressed by
God to the pastors, priests themselves firstly and he points out
still to them as well to all of God's people his will, God's
standard.
Malachi 2 :16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith
that he hateth putting away (Divorce) : for one covereth violence with his
garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that
ye deal not treacherously.
I have often written that
evangelical Pastors even are wrongfully willing to support
marital divorce and also note this a relationship divorce.. even to
quick to get someone out of their fellowship wrongfully.
So also do
note this a preacher coming to his pulpit and God NOW says to the
preacher, who comes faithfully week in and week out to carry out the
worship service. He comes and he prays, and he
sings, he also does put money in the offering plate, he serves in
various programs in the church, he gives of his time
and “God rightfully still does not accept the
service, the worship, the prayers.” Why?
(Gal 5:19
KJV) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such
like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of
God.
(Psa 51:17 KJV) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
When I want to counsel someone I often also do first look at
what has God been teaching me this week in my devotion, for God's will is
there for me too.... including-
(Titus 3:10 KJV) A man
that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing
that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of
himself.
(Hosea 4:6 KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,
that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of
thy God, I will also forget thy children.
(Ezek 22:27 KJV) Her
princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed
blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
(Zep 3:3
KJV) Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening
wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
(Mat 7:15 KJV)
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
(Mat 10:16 KJV) Behold, I
send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as
serpents, and harmless as doves.
(Acts 20:29 KJV) For I know
this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not
sparing the flock.
(Ezek 22:29 KJV) The people of the land have
used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy:
yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
(1 John 4:19
KJV) We love him, because he first loved us.
(1 John 4:20
KJV) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God
whom he hath not seen?
Unbelievable but I have still too
often have found real crooks, bad persons from youth leaders, to pastors,
elders, prominent persons in the evangelical churches, Baptist -
Brethren, Fundamental, Alliance, Pentecostal as well. Not
acceptable at all.
I still do also want you to note that God here in
the Book of Malachi not only accuses the pastors, priest themselves of
abusing God's money in the Book of Malachi but he also firstly accuses them
of wrongfully supporting divorce, and thus next abusing the other persons,
clearly neglecting to fulfill all of God's laws too.
Stealing,
abusing others and divorce are bad personal sins still to
God.
Make no mistake about it God clearly distinguishes between the
good and the bad persons here on earth even by their own
personal acts and their relationship to God's word....
God's good people respect, follow God's word daily, and
the bad people do not.. thus next the futile, bad acts of the bad
persons will still not even prosper them. Note that they will not
prosper, get away with their own bad acts. Divorce, stealing, personal
abuse are all conscious, deliberate wrong acts that God does not take
lightly but he still also himself punishes the persons who do them. God does
punish individual persons for their unrepentant sins. Shocking isn't
it.
Now how about all persons still as well putting away the
strange God of divorce rightfully now as well.. starting in the
Churches.
The Lack of love is a false excuse for any marital divorce,
or the relationship divorce now as well. Love also is more than
an emotion, love is a commitment that goes beyond how anyone feels. In
this way we are not commanded to feel love toward someone, we are commanded
to have a personal, deliberate attitude of obedience, of having love toward
firstly God, our brothers and sisters, parents, our spouse and our children
as well.. Love it is a command and not an optional emotion.
Any of the People who tolerate, practice
divorce need to be themselves now removed from the
church.
The personal still negative consequences of
allowing divorce... "Leadership Landmines. It happens all the
time.Successful leaders--people with great business acumen, great teams and
great vision--are moving along, growing their companies when, all of a
sudden, they fall flat on their faces. Their businesses start
hemorrhaging money. Their best people start jumping ship. Their families
start falling apart. And they sit at their desks with their heads in their
hands wondering, "How did this happen?"I'll tell you how it happened. They
were blown up by a problem they never saw coming.- Dr. John C. Maxwell "
(Nahum 1:3 KJV) The LORD is slow to anger, and great
in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in
the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his
feet.
It is not enough even to preach some truth to others
one has also to personally to live it. Pastors and leaders included.
THOSE UNREPENTING PERSONS WHO HURT OTHERS BY THEIR FALSE TEACHING,
RECOMMENDATIONS, PERSONAL ACTS WILL PAY A PRICE STILL FOR IT AS
WELL
(Mat 18:5 KJV) And whoso shall receive one such little
child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these
little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone
were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the
sea. 7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be
that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! 8
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them
from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather
than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
Sadly the church itself too often today clearly does not practice
the sanctity of marriage, or of personal relationships too
(Mat 18:15
KJV) Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell
him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast
gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with
thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word
may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it
unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee
as a heathen man and a publican. 18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever
ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall
loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you,
That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they
shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I
in the midst of them.
(John 13:35 KJV) By this shall all men
know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
(Rev
3:19 KJV) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.
To overcome, means to overcome the
personal sins even the sins of tolerating, allowing all divorces and
wrongfully too, relationship divorces included, the sins of abusing
others..
More than one, visibly wicked, immoral pastors have
wrongfully even told me that we are not allowed to speak out against, about
the sins of bad evangelical pastors.. well it is very obvious that the
prophets, and Jesus himself disagreed, they called them as well to
repentance. All it takes for evil to prosper is for good people to do
nothing about it still. God will do his part but we have to do our part,
which includes asking them to repent as well now.
(Mat 12:33
KJV) Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the
tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his
fruit.
(1 Tim 5:20 KJV) Them that sin rebuke before all, that
others also may fear. 21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without
preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
(2 Tim
4:2 KJV) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and
doctrine.
There is a place to remove some of the bad people, but
it seems more likely it is still the pastor that firstly himself has to
be removed, not his church members these days.
(Titus 3:1
KJV) Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to
obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2 To speak evil of
no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all
men.
(Mat 5:13 KJV) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the
salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth
good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of
men.
Gladly mail my note here on what I think about Pastors who abuse
others that they need to be fired if they do not
repent.
I do firsthand already know from actual personal
experiences that sending this same page to Evangelical pastors in Canada
will cause them to falsely object to even Jesus own words being
presented to them for they wrongfully do not like it when the tables
are turned on them.
(Acts 17:30 KJV) And the times of this
ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the
world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath
given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the
dead.
(Acts 3:19 KJV) Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
(Luke 12:59 KJV) I tell thee, thou shalt not depart
thence, till thou hast paid the very last
mite.
(Psa 109:4 KJV) For my love
they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. 5 And they
have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 6 Set thou a
wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. 7 When he
shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. 9 Let
his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. 10 Let his children
be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of
their desolate places. 11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;
and let the strangers spoil his labour. 12 Let there be none to extend
mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let
their name be blotted out. 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be
remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the
memory of them from the earth. 16 Because that he remembered not
to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even
slay the broken in heart. 17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto
him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. 18 As
he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come
into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. 19 Let it be
unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is
girded continually. 20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from
the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. 21 But do thou
for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good,
deliver thou me. 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded
within me. 23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed
up and down as the locust. 24 My knees are weak through fasting; and
my flesh faileth of fatness. 25 I became also a reproach unto them:
when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. 26 Help me, O LORD
my God: O save me according to thy mercy: 27 That they may know that
this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. 28 Let them curse,
but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant
rejoice. 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them
cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. 30 I will
greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the
multitude. 31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to
save him from those that condemn his soul.
(Exe 18:4 KJV) Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul
of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth,
it shall die. 5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and
right, 6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up
his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his
neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman, 7 And
hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath
spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath
covered the naked with a garment;8 He that hath not given forth upon
usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from
iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man
(Gal 6:9 KJV)
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if
we faint not.
(Gal 6:10
KJV) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Now,
let's also still take a look at the position of the modern day pastor. As it
is today, I believe the position we see it as in many churches, a dictator,
a one man ministry, is unscriptural. No doubt, many good men have started
out right, but have fallen into this snare, by being put, or putting
themselves into an unscriptural position.
A
house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25)
applies to the Churches, and our homes, and our marriages
too.
