by Leave a Comment

Marc and Sharron spend Day 6 on a train ride north to the Grand Canyon from Williams AZ, and back again. Then Day 7 is a much needed day of rest and reflection with the Lord Jesus Christ! Day 8 proves to be a busy one the South Rim Mule ride.

Click on any individual link to be taken to that day: Day 6, Tuesday, October 14: Williams AZ to Grand Canyon and back again; Day 7, Wednesday, October 14: Grand Canyon and day of rest with the Lord

Day 6, Tuesday, October 13: Williams AZ to Grand Canyon and back

Morning Williams Arizona! Day 6 on the western mission trip – we drove an hour south for the Grand Canyon Railway train ride back north into the canyon – then later in the day a train ride back to Williams and drive back north back to the Canyon by car. With sweet lady today Sharron Lanham White

 

All aboard! Off by train to the Grand Canyon…

Our train to the Grand Canyon takes a curve…

Outside plaque entering The Lookout Studio with Psalm 104 Bible verse – the ONLY reference to God thus far in the entire National Park…but plenty of pagan promotion. They even named the major rock plateau formations in the Canyon all after Hindu gods. Day 6 after the train ride back up north from Williams AZ.

Day 7, Wednesday, October 14: Grand Canyon – day of rest with the Lord

Day 7 of our western US mission trip – resting a bit physically this AM and doing some planning, etc. then on later for quiet time with our Lord! And maybe a coffee…the view at the Maswik outside our room…

Oh boy! Just made a reservation for sweet lady and I to fly with Maverick helicopters on Friday PM…to see the Lord’s creation here at the Grand Canyon from the air.

PROPER & HOLY BEHAVIOR IN CHRISTIAN MEETINGS [DEAR BRETHREN 27]

by Leave a Comment

Dear brothers and sisters,

In the New Covenant account of the kingdom gospel, we see approximately eight different types of meetings that the saints use. Each one plays a vital role in the population, maturation, and completion of the kingdom of God, His eternal purpose.

Here is our ministry’s current list.

1 Discipleship 1 on 1, or 3-12 people, same gender: daily
2 Local Neighborhood Assembly: daily, prayer, discipleship, tongues
3 City Assembly: as led by Holy Spirit
4 Regional Assembly
5 Teaching-Discipleship: specific project
6 Special Issue-Problem: as need arises, major decisions by consensus of whole church (with minor disagreements deferred)
7 Evangelism 2 by 2 & groups – skeptics and seekers
8 Visiting Leader, and Apostle

 

If you see another type, please let us know. Download the Kingdom of God New Testament Types of Meetings and supporting information here. You may review helpful Christian communication articles here. Obviously, many of these commands and traits are impossible in the head buffalo driven sit-down-shut-up-and-give-money institutional church. God’s church model is the simple home church and you can find much more about that here.

THE LEADERS MUST BE SILENCED [FRIDAY FIRE 121]

by 14 Comments

This is us silencing the leaders

The Word of God is extremely explicit in its warning and condemnation of false teaching. For false teachers and false prophets are the #1 problem in the New Testament record.

Our brother Paul writes to his fellow church planter Titus to take action against the “church” leaders of his day who are “upsetting whole families.” With what? Teachings that bring the reprobates a lot of money. Some things never change, do they beloved?

Titus 1:10-11 For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision (Judean church leaders), who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of sordid gain.

Paul’s admonition to Titus and his church body on Crete is to silence these leaders. Notice he doesn’t say to pray, live your life and be silent, and keep exhorting them with pious platitudes. No, none of that. The sheep are in danger of wolves.

Who does this? Well, certainly the elders.

Titus 1:9 …(the elders must be) holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.

But the body at large is also charged with this as well. That’s all of us. A command from our Lord and Savior.

So, we see that doctrine is vital for it is the evidence of our daily actions, according to Paul. Also, we must be using this correct and holy doctrine to silence the false teachers.

Do you and your family attend a body that does this routinely? Probably not, for I never have in 30 years. But I obey this command individually. And the attacks from the false teachers and prophets who think they have His blessing due to their popularity are voracious at times.

It’s a lonely and tough road for those of us who speak out against the enemies of His church. But He joins us as we walk His walk. Will you join me in this most holy pursuit? After a rebuke to these wayward leaders and if they refuse to hear, we can move on by shaking the dust off our feet. We never cast our pearls before swine.

Hebrews 13:12-14 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.

Speak up and speak out…for Him! And His kingdom…

The joy is set before us, saints, we bear His reproach, endure our own cross, despise the shame, and enter the final kingdom of Jesus Christ. Amen…
