We have forgotten the Chief Shepherd of the Flock

by David
(Huntsville, AL)

We have forgotten the Chief Shepherd of the Flock, and thus we have forgotten the flock of God. Huge ministries, buildings, and budgets have replaced the 'simplicity that is in Christ'....

....and thus we have church today that is built not on Christ, but on the futility of man's wisdom cloaked in religious garb. Excessive salaries that go way beyond what a true person of God really needs is the norm for many of these 'men and women of God.'

A very far cry from those in the Scripture who girded themselves in the simplicity of camel's hair and eating locust in the wilderness - who spoke the Word of God with fire and passion.

Our modern 'prophets' parade 'their' ministries as assets for God's kingdom as though the very hand of Almighty God would be short without their 'man of Gods' vision to be seen throughout the world.

What self exaltation and divisive behavior that causes very little fidelity to our message of the risen and glorified Christ who gave Himself for His sheep. The Word of God is not bound!
