Being “Called” into God’s Ministry Is a Theocratic Selection and Not a Democratic Election
Contrary to some people’s opinions concerning who “calls,” anoints, appoints, gifts, equips, ordains, and sends men and women into the Gospel ministry’s vineyard, it is God and only God who “calls,” anoints, appoints, gifts, equips, and ordains His vineyard workers, and ONLY God who sends His vineyard workers “where” He wants them to be. God also is the only One who decides “when” He will send His workers! Then too, God and only God is the One who determines what function His “called,” anointed, appointed, gifted, equipped, and ordained men and women are to perform while working in His Gospel ministry’s vineyard. In essence, being “called” into God’s Ministry, which includes all that accepting His “calling” involves (like which ekklesia, how to function in that ekklesia, what gifts to use, and so on), is ALWAYS a theocratic selection and NEVER a democratic election!
Our Deepest Fear: The New Age Philosophy/Spiritualism in Coach Carter
After viewing the movie “Coach Carter” on DVD, an excellent Samuel L. Jackson flick, by the way, I was moved by the Holy Spirit to address this movie’s subtle presentation of New Age Philosophy. In particular, a speech given by the character Cruz does much to promote the New Age language of self-help, self-reliance, self-satisfaction, and so forth.
Spiritually Fraudulent Body Of Christ Members
Many people who call themselves Christians often behave more ruthlessly than career criminals. For sure, there are far too many members in the Body of Christ who are fraudulent, but also there are many spiritually anemic members, too.
Love Is ACTION
Saying that we love our brothers and sisters in Christ is not enough. If the world is ever going to believe in our Lord and Savior, we must demonstrate His kind of love. Real love is godly actions.
