It helped me to realize that God has made me responsible for my life, not Jane, not Karel not Leonard (gone now from woff, himself) but that I was responsible — one doctrine that all woffers need to know. Why? because once you realize that even if you give your authority away God still holds you responsible for fulfilling your call. You can go with Jane but in the end you will be the happy or a not so happy camper that answers to God for every deed, and even if Jane and Karel and who ever says it is ok, and has their stamp of approval, if God does not offer it, you are then standing on your own on judgement day. You will stand without them, you will. Adam, Mark, whoever even if Jane said it was ok, what does your heart say about it? If you are troubled in your heart then God has not approved it, perfect peace is your umpire, no peace No God, No God then no real forgiveness unless you ask. There was no God in what is happening to some people at woff especially ml. It will be a scary thing to fall into the hands of an angry God. God is angry when innocent people are hurt no matter what, He is faithful to move. You win if God lets you but, when the party so to speak over, in His time it is over, you will see. On another note Jane, you owe me an apology for the things that you said about my son, as your grandson is wiggling more than C boy did at age 3, and you demonized him for just being a boy. When I look at your grandson, he is just being a boy but, he is wiggling more than my son did. Way more and he is way older !!! Just saying, cause I know you are reading this!!!

What most don’t understand is that this stems from a core belief in the Priesthood of All Believers; 1 Peter 2:9. What this means is that every Christian has direct access to God and the truths of the Bible without a hierarchy in between.

As a pastor, I am often questioned about an interpretation of the Scriptures I have made during a sermon or a Bible study. Rather than be offended by this, (or asking them to leave!) I welcome it because we all have the responsibility to individually stand before our Lord and account for our beliefs and our lives.

Additionally, God speaks to the body of Christ; His church, not just to an individual. As I am questioned and held responsible for sound teaching, we all grow and are refined in the process.

I surely do not write this to say that Baptists are ‘the way’. Rather I write to say such zeal for an earthly teacher is simply unbiblical.

1JN 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

John, your sign is right on target. We need to have zeal for our Lord, not for an earthly teacher. As always, I am proud of you!
