“An evangelist goes to a place to proclaim the plain sufficiency of the Name of Jesus for the salvation of the soul (without intervention of human clergy), and there thousands of listeners hang on his lips. The same servant goes back there later, and while proclaiming the same gospel; he goes one more step further and proclaims the plain sufficiency of the Name of Jesus to respond to all the needs of an assembly of believers (without intervention of human clergy), and he sees himself attacked from all sides.”

Isn’t it strange?

That the One who saves without the help of man should not be able anymore to build His Ekklesia without the clergy caste of men…

That the One who saves men should not be able anymore to direct those who He has saved in His House everyday…

Now there needs to be some “my father” “my lord” “my pastor” “bla bla bla”…

May God protect us from it…

WE BELIEVE THAT HE WHO HAS CALLED US FROM DARKNESS IS CAPABLE TO LEAD US EVERYDAY.

Isn’t it all simply true, beloved?

God bless U and our beloved in Jesus.
