This July I will begin to serialise my 12 chapter unreserved, unscathing and unapologetic critique of modern church leadership structures; Brace yourself for an epic journey from the little beginnings of Pentecostal age, through two millennia of the might of Rome and Catholicism, to the era of Martin Luther and the reformists to the charismatic, poignant and ostentatious self-declared Bishops, Apostles and Evangelists.. Here's a sneak preview
The church is not a democracy, it's not an autocracy either, and it should never get anywhere close to a tyranny- it must not be one man's empire; it should not be built around a single individual who is referred to by all congregants as 'our dad'. We have only one spiritual father – 'Our father who at in Heaven'. Any pastor or bishop who seeks to rule his church is putting himself in a place which should only be occupied by the one who died to redeem the church. Any person or group of people who attempt to rule over God's church are operating outside what is appropriate. It is the Mystical Body of the Risen Christ. We are loved, and the love of God burns unceasingly within us. The call is for us to work and pray unceasingly, to love one another, to acknowledge our sins, to amend our lives, and to live together prayerfully as the Body of Christ.
I look forward to sharing a good read with you... for the Glory of Christ … See you soon..
