Do not have a gang fight in the church - Gal 5:15 -

The original Korean text: https://blog.naver.com/stevision/221665693337

 

"But if you bite and devour one another take heed that you are not consumed by one another. (Gal 5:15)"

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. (2 Tim 4:7-8)"

Suppose you're the president of a nation. But two generals you put trust in argued each other over something, then a battle broke out between the two units, shooting each other and killing each other. How terrible and devastating is this to the president?

 

 

​The church is the body of Jesus and all believers are the brides of Jesus. If a dispute arises in a church and the saints are divided into two and fight each other, or if the pastors in a denomination are divided into two parties and fight each other, Jesus can never stand such a situation. Those who started the gang fight in the church will be severely punished, no matter what the reason was.

 

 

Even if there are pastors or laymen who are like tares in the church and commit injustice and illegality, you should never engage in a fight or in a violent collective dispute in the church. Jesus told the church to leave the tares, which can't be pulled out without hurting the church, as they are, until the harvest.

 

 

If a pastor of a church is greedy and does not fear God, so he loses confidence of the believers, the church may send him away according to due process. If the pastor is a tare who rallies his followers into a group of resistance, so that the church can't drive him out by the legal process, the believers who do not like him may go to other churches. You should never use vulgar language or physical violence in the church to carry out your will. Because God, the supreme Judge, is above the church. (To make a fuss in the presence of God is a grave sin.)

 

 

Recently, the Korean church has been suffering from the hereditary succession of the church, and a lot of saints were hurt in heart thanks to the corrupt pastors, and the church has become a laughingstock in the world. The authors of the church problem will receive a severe judgment that will make them regret their sins forever. Therefore you don't have to feel bad that someone is ministering well though he has committed the hereditary church-succession.

 

 

You're doing well in the sight of God if you just do your work of God.

 

 

"Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.' (Mt 7:21-23)"
