1 Corinthians 14
38 If you won’t play by these rules, God can’t use you. Sorry.
Heys there. Don't really know how long I have, but I'll make it quick.
Yesterday was a long chat about many things, and among other things, ministry and culture. And I guess CHC has something going for them, in the sense of order, because as Paul mentioned, that there is certain order to be kept in the house of God, and if you refuse to abide by it, you cannot be used by God/leadership/rise up, it'll just be a revolution.
On the other hand, we must not be too quick to make culture a pre-requisite for people to be used by God. Unless they walk, talk and dress like us, they can't be part of the leadership. Because the rules Paul laid down are Biblical rules, not just preferred styles. So I guess there are some things that we must play by, and others, for the smooth running of the ministry.
And as for me, I guess the point here is to eagerly desire that which edifies the church. I mean, if we all have the faith to speak in tongues, why can't we have faith for prophecies, healings and miracles?
Yup, that's it for today :) Looking forward to a great service :)
