“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2:10
Mike Benson, Editor
MAY I KINDLY ask a few questions for your personal study and reflection…?
How many churches did Jesus promise to build? Matthew 16:18
Did He say, “I will build a church?” Did He say, “I will build My churches?”
Since Jesus promised to build HIS church (singular), how can we endorse and authorize religious division today? We have hundreds of different churches in our country. Each of them wears a different name. Each of them promotes a different and often times conflicting doctrine. Is this what the Lord had in mind when He made His promise?
Is the church the same thing as the body? Ephesians 1:22, 23
How many bodies did Paul mention? Ephesians 4:4; cf. Romans 12:4,5; 1
Corinthians 12:20
Since the church and the body are the same thing, and since Christ is the head of the body, how can we teach different, yea even opposing, doctrines? Does the Head of the body contradict itself?
How many faiths does Paul mention? Ephesians 4:5
“I do not pray for these alone,
but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;
they they all may be one,
as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You;
that they may be one in Us,
that the world may believe that You sent Me.”
John 17:20, 21
Continue to pray for some of the individuals and families who have been mentioned lately or for some that you know that have needs that were not mentioned. Then, after you pray, make a phone call, send a card, visit, babysit, cook something, rake a yard, or do something else that is meaningful to that particular family. You will be blessed as you minister to others.
