Recently I read a rather disturbing article in Charisma magazine that focused again on the stuggle of women in the Church to find their identify in Christ. Here again the Church was reduced to a social club where women are called upon to act like politicians rather than elders of the Church.

I posted this comment in response:

Here is another example of gross error that is being introduced to the Church through Pastoral Governance. Not understanding the functions of the 2nd Covenant priesthood, the knowledge of faith is now used to find a “ministry” for ‘gender’. The Priesthood of the believer is neither male nor female, in Christ Jesus.

When the Church accepts Apostolic governance then God will restore understanding and virtue to His people.

In addition to this thought…

When a ministry is separated from the Godhead it takes on its own personality and temperament instead of the likeness of Christ. This is seen in the fashion of the delivery and style. A search is made in the scriptures for doctrines that address the issues. But the challenging goals will always fail in lasting results, and so is the loop of death unto death.

About every 10 to 20 years Satan re-introduces these topics for the Church to discuss and resolve and another round of books are then published addressing health, wealth and well-being.

Paul warned of these philosophies which become traditions of men, and then used as a fulcrum for discernment, which when challenged by truth will adamantly resist shielding their envy and bitterness behind slogans as ‘contending for the faith’.
These things are Satan’s wiles to keep the Church unproductive in eternal things.
