How Does It Flow? – 02

The Knights of the Golden Rule, leading the charge by voice and volition against the powers of darkness, have often turned out to be Irreligious Reformers. Consequently, the “reformation” turns out to be a deformation which tends to harm more than it heals.

Wherever the Church constricts its heart and ministry, it also limits the flow of God’s Blessing. Inevitably, the irreligious will find a way to open things up and get a flow going. Into the desert of Christian indifference, an anointing will come from the head of a Humanist or from the heights of the latest secular theorist. A spring of tainted waters will start the flow toward the next seductive unity.

The right response to this sorry situation is not to leave the Bible and join Babylon. Nor is it to denounce the deeds of the non-Christian do-gooders while keeping one’s distance from doing anything oneself.

There should be balm in Gilead, salt in the streets, and light in the alleys if the Church serves a risen Christ. There should be a unified family of God walking in love toward their Father, one another, and their neighbor.

Ultimately, it will take Jesus’ bodily return to establish His Kingdom in the earth. But He has promised to command a blessing now into the place where Brethren dwell together in unity.
