Fundamentals of The FaithSpiritual Maturity In The Church—Part III

Raymond Pruitt

III. Each Member Lives in Harmony With the OtherMembers. "Now there are diversities of gifts, but thesame Spirit. And there are differences of administrations,but the same Lord. And there are diversities ofoperations, but it is the same God which worketh all inall" (1 Cor. 12:4-6).

1. Spiritual gifts and authority. Traditionally, therehas been an element of tension between the operation ofthe gifts of the Spirit and the function of the God-givenauthorities within the Church. One group feels that menin positions of authority are a threat to the freedom of theSpirit, and the other feels that the charismatic operationsof the Spirit are a threat to divine order and dignity.

However, in a theocracy there should be nocontradiction, for both the authorities and the spiritualgifts are set in the Church by God. They are to

complement, not compete. "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers,after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues" (1 Cor. 12:28). Since God does notcompete with Himself, so authorities and gifts should not be in conflict. Those who shepherd at the various levels of theofficialdom of the Church are put there by the Holy Ghost to feed and care for God's flock (Acts 20:28), but if they andtheir flocks are not experiencing the manifestation of the Spirit, they will be destitute and barren in worship and service.A. J. Tomlinson wrote:

A failure to recognize order, decorum and authority would

bring reproach and disgrace on the worthy cause we

love . . . Disruption and division are impossible while

God has control of our whole being. - . . In most

conventions, political or other kinds, where business is to be

transacted there are factions or parties which call for much

secret work and private canvassing to carry certain points

and gain certain advantages, but in this convention there is

nothing of the kind. One would prove himself disloyal to

true religion and Christian principles to undertake the use

of underhanded methods or schemes to accomplish certain

ends to meet his approbation and ambitious desires. In the

settlement of every subject under question, no matter about

the diversified opinions that may exist which may lead to

some debate and controversy, the only thing that this body

of noble men and women demand is a "Thus saith the

Lord," or the scriptural proof, and "It seems good to the

Holy Ghost and to us.

2. The abuse of authority. It is true that some leaders have abused the authority which has been committed to them, andbecause of their offenses the Holy Ghost is grieved and His work thwarted. However, according to the scriptural patternfor Church government, we do not have the choice between authoritarian and anti-authoritarian Church government. TheNew Testament clearly places all of us under authority. We are responsible and accountable to certain persons who areover us in the Lord, who watch for our souls, "as they that must give account" (Heb. 13:17). The absence of authorityengenders anarchy.

Church leaders can become carnal and self-seeking, just as other men. They can, and do, sometimes abuse the powerof their office. At such times it is tempting to seek one's own authority which is more in keeping with his concept of adivinely ordained authority. But this is a perilous thing to do, because self-chosen authorities are rarely God-appointedauthorities. The essence of divine authority is that one is placed under it by God, and not that one selects an authority thatsuits him best.

An example of respect for an unworthy authority is seen in how David respected the office and authority of KingSaul, even after Saul had been rejected by God and David had been anointed to become his successor. So long as Saulwas in the office, no matter how unworthy he was, David dared not "touch God's anointed." This principle of respect forauthority is prominent throughout the Bible, and we are bound to obey it. To resist it is to invite disaster to oneself andinjury to the body of Christ. Since authority is clearly ordained by God and placed in the Church by Him, it must followthat where this authority is lacking or not being recognized, the spiritual gifts cannot come into full power and maturity.They will be stunted by disorder and excesses. When one finds himself in a situation where he honestly feels that he is

the victim of an authority which abuses him, he ought to remind himself:

Christians do not grow only by getting "fed", by having

wonderful prayer meetings, Bible studies, and fellowship, as

wonderful as these are. They also grow through the adversities

which they suffer, including those from fellow Christians,

even a pastor, who are less than helpful or

sympathetic in a given situation. When a situation is

recognized and accepted as part of God's plan, it casts it in

an altogether different light not something to run away

from, but something to learn from.

Those members of the body who abuse authority, at whatever level, should better understand the nature and functionof authority in the Church. Theirs is not the authority of a military commander, nor that of a despot; rather it is theauthority of a shepherd, a physician, a parent, a teacher. The right and the need to exercise authority grows out of theresponsibility to serve the body. "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalthimself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted" (Matt. 23:11, 12). Serving the needs of thebody is therefore the function of every member, whether he be a leader or a follower. When understood from thisperspective, authority is analagous to responsibility. And as there are varied responsibilities within the body, so theauthorities are diverse and varied, all working in harmony with one another for the edification of the whole.

3. The proper exercise of authority. The exercise of authority in the Church is by no means to be rigid and unilateral.Each member, within his proper sphere of responsibility exercises an authority, or responsibility (the two terms are verynearly the same in this context), which is respected by those over him in other spheres of responsibility. Thus, pastors,though under the authority of overseers, in their churches have authority over men who are in higher offices than they, ifthese happen to belong to their congregation.

That one may, in a particular situation, exercise authority over another does not mean that the authority extendsautomatically into all other areas. Keep in mind the body motif as used in Paul's epistles. Depending on the needs of thebody at any given time, one member may have authority now, and another may exercise authority in another ministryneeded by the body at another time.

In the practical organization of the Church's authority system, the General Overseer receives his authority from theGeneral Assembly. In his address to the Eleventh Annual Assembly, A. J. Tomlinson stated:

I wish it to be distinctly understood now and forever that your

General Overseer is a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,

and more or less subject to the Assembly and not a despotic ruler.

It is his purpose to obey the rulings of the Assembly to the very best

of his knowledge and ability.

The State and National Overseers receive authority from the General Overseer. Pastors receive authority from Stateand National Overseers to fulfill their independent duties in the churches. Under normal circumstances, no Overseer

would interfere with the administration of the local church affairs when the church is functioning in harmony with theGeneral Assembly, just as no pastor would interfere in the private administration of the affairs of a family whose head isa member of his Church. Even within a family structure, respect for the sphere of authority must be recognized. H. W. J.Thiersch notes:

Everyone has an inclination to shine in that which is not

within his border, and to show his wisdom where no charge

has been committed to him. Into this error the woman falls,

who is eager to put in her word with her husband in his

higher duties. Into this error the man falls when he mixes

himself with all the matters of housekeeping, and fancies

that he understands them better than his wife.

The practical exercise of authority is thus highly functional. In the sphere where one ministers, he exercises acorresponding authority which is regarded by all those over him and those under him in the hierarchy of theorganizational structure. Where theocratic government functions properly, there grows out of it a high degree of mutualrespect for one another. Each recognizes his distinctive sphere of service, and each complements the work of every othermember. No single member seeks preeminence for himself, but rather that he may serve the needs of the body. "Seek thatyou may excel to the edifying of the church" (1 Cor. 14:12). When the members of the body of Christ seek their ownelevation and recognition, strife, friction, and contention will be the consequence. But where each member seeks theglory of God and the upbuilding of the Church, there is found a refreshing unity of the Spirit. It is a beautiful and pleasantthing to behold (Psa. 133).

4. The ministry of restoration and peace. The restoration and peace is committed to each member of the body. If wedo not constantly work at restoring broken fellowships, and keeping the unity of the Spirit, then we can never enjoy thebond of peace which is fundamental (Gal. 6:1; Eph. 4:3). A spiritually mature member is a harmonizer, a peace-maker.He will not tolerate division and contention. For him, the ministry of helping to maintain harmony and peace is a sacredtrust, and he is unreservedly committed to it.

5. Unity of leadership. All the Church, and especially the leaders, must share a common vision and must be fullypledged to its realization, and to each other. When the leadership stands together in the unity of the Spirit, problems maycome up within the Church, but they cannot break up the unity of the Church, because of the strong core of unity whichbinds together those who are charged with the care of the flock of God.

The unity of the leadership of the Church is so vital to the health of the body that we find that those who are called topositions of authority become special targets of satanic assault, and this sometimes extends to their families as well. "Forwe wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of thisworld, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph. 6:12). Each one of us, whatever our place in the body, must beprepared to resist the enemy, and we must work for harmony among ourselves. Let us "stand fast in one spirit, with onemind striving together for the faith of the gospel" (Phil. 1:27).

When there are differences between us, they must not beallowed to fester and become cancerous; they must beresolved. Regardless of who is to blame for the differencebetween you and your brother, it is your duty to initiate thereconciliation (cf. Matt. 5:23, 24 with 18:15). When twomembers of the body find themselves at odds, especially ifthey are ministers, they should meet one another on the wayto one another's house to restore harmony and unity betweenthemselves. "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, andclamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with allmalice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hathforgiven you"(Eph. 4:31, 32).

Clanton: We welcomeour newest member,Kayla Edwards, to ourlocal church family.

Collinsville-HarvestCenter: The Lord ismoving in marvelousways at HCC. Lastmonth (January), welaunched our youthm i n i s t e r s b yr e n o v a t i n g a n de x p a n d i n g o u rclassroom space onthe second level ofour education center. We also installed Pastor James andMary Nell Adkins’ granddaughterand husband as our new YouthPastors, Caleb and Hannah Rackard. With several new young peopleattending on Wednesday night, wehave also experienced growth in ouradult Bible study class. Of course, itis not all about numbers, but thisinflux of new faces has been a realboost to our people. We continue tosee new faces coming in for ourS unday m o r n i n g w o r s h i pencounters. Darlene and I have beenpraying for our music ministry andwe now have a full worship bandwith singers. We are sooverwhelmed with gratitude. TheLord has also seen fit to grant usseveral prophetic words. Thebeautiful thing about this is that it isnot platform driven. The word iscoming from the pews and has beenconfirmed through several voices. Again, there is much excitement inthe air and we are looking forwardto more as we keep our hearts opento the new things God is doing inour midst. We have beenexperimenting with new/old formsof worship. We feel as Pentecostalswe should learn from the wisdom ofthe past and infuse more of thedynamic of the Spirit into these

traditional forms of worship. Infact, starting with Advent lastDecember, we are attempting tofollow the Church calendar andstructure our services accordingly. The next big event on that calendaris Ash Wednesday. We are having aspecial service that night with ayouth drama, the Word and theapplying of ashes to the forehead asa symbol of our mortality and needfor salvation. Yes, it is strange to usas well, but is our goal to see theSpirit move and real transformationtake place through these ancientchurch practices. For over a yearnow we have been servingcommunion weekly. We have alsoinstituted responsive reading as acall to worship and the reading ofthe Lectionary. This means we havequite a bit of Scripture read eachSunday. One significant aspect ofthis new emphasis is that this allowsfor more people to participate in theworship service each week. Thislast week (Feb. 1), we had fiveyouth and four adults read, pray orhelp serve the communion elementsnot including pastoral staff. It is sorefreshing to see so much activity. Itis amazing how the people haveenjoyed and look forward to sharingcommunion on a weekly basis. Ithas been life giving.

Greenpond: The year2015 has begun. Itmay be cold outside,but the Spirit is warmin our church. Thankyou Lord for yourmany blessings. Honor is given toChrist Jesus, ourS a v i o r . M a n yparticipated in theTwenty-one Days ofPrayer and Fasting. Prayers are beinganswered and praise

reports are many. The youthenjoyed a night of games, food andfellowship. The seniors enjoyed aconcert featuring the Crabb Familywith twenty-seven in attendance. After the concert, a stop at Krispy-Kreme for donuts and coffee.Haleyville-Pathway: God is soGOOD, we have set forth 4 new layministers in the last couple ofmonths. Please keep Beverly Hood,Brian Wright, James England andAmy Wright in your prayers as theyset out to do God’s work. Our youthgroup is growing and on fire for theLord. It’s so good to see them upfront praising God. Hartselle: We are proud towelcome Jamie Bates as our newestmember. Welcome Jamie!Leesburg: A new ministry beganthis month with Janet Tuckerorganizing the Senior AdultMinistry. Their initial meeting wasa potluck lunch to plan theirupcoming activities and ministries. Short Creek: We welcomed thenew year, but sadly the followingday we had to say good-bye to oureldest member, Mary Frances Vines(91 years young). Her viewing was at the local church and over 350people came. She left a wonderfullegacy of faithful service to the localchurch and to the Lord and was

loved by all. Our loss is Heaven’sgain. There has been a lot ofsickness during this month. We arelooking to the Lord to bringcomplete healing to our Pastor andother members of our congregation. Keep us in your prayers. Tarrant: January...a month ofprayer. What a blessing it is to be apart of the 21 Days of Prayer andFasting. The Outreach Teamcombined a Bible study with thebirthday party for the SeniorCitizens at the Presbyterian Manor. The children were excited as Bellaand Sammy the puppets showed upon Family Night. We are lookingforward to what God has in store forus in 2015.

Jasper DistrictFebruary 1, we met for a districtfellowship meeting with Short Creekchurch hosting it for us. We heardan outstanding message on“Reaching the Harvest” fromBrother Bryan Baysinger. Theattendance was good. Our district ison the move. Pastor John Butler.

ÈÈÈÈÈFOUR NEEDS/LONGINGSPeople Look for a church tofulfill.....

* Spirituality: helping peopleexperience Jesus and his savingpower in their lives;

* Community: helping peopleexperience Jesus in one another,giving them the sense that they areconnected to a “body”–a lovingcommunity–as well as to the Creatorand Sustainer of all things;

* Care: helping people experienceJesus in thei r pa in andsuffering–when many people aremost clearly in need of the gospeland most open to God’s presence

and the healing, saving power ofJesus;

* Service: helping peopleexperience meaning, purpose, andsignificance by participating inJesus’ mission in the world andbeing involved in something that isnot only bigger than themselves, butalso life-transforming and enduring.

How well a congregation meetsthose four needs is a significantindicator of its overall health andability to be in mission with Jesus. The Four Needs can provide ablueprint for how a mission-mindedcongregation can plan and structureits entire ministry.

Tips For Abundant LifeCarolyn Guyton

Spring forward. March is the monthwhen we begin thinking about theseason change to Spring. Eachseason holds its own allure for me,but this is my favorite season of all! The reason? I love watching theearth come to life! Beautiful colorbegins to spring from the ground,the dormant comes to life and thesun just seems to shine brighter onthis newness! This freshnessencourages me to seek a renewal inmyself. I would like to encourageyou, as well, by suggesting sometips for springing forward.

Recognize the beauty. It is easy toget so lost in the fast pace of our

lives that we don’t take time to stopand smell the roses. We are sofocused on the next deadline,tonight’s dinner, children’shomework, etc, that we don’t evensee the beauty around us. I havefound that designating the morningdrive to work as time to focus onGod in prayer and meditation on Hisgoodness, opens my eyes to truly seethe blessings God has provided formy enjoyment. Discover how youcan best make sure you recognizethe beauty.

Bask in the hope. Along with theflowers and green grass, hope alsoarises in this season. We celebratethe resurrection of Jesus in theSpring and the new life only He canbring. Just as we enjoy sitting in thesunlight surrounded by the flowersand green of nature, I recommendwe spend extra time sitting in thepresence of Jesus surrounded by Hislove, mercy and grace, andexperience what He so longinglywants to give us. There is no greaterlife than that which comes throughHim.

Plant seed. Share this newness oflife with someone else. Identify aperson to befriend and set aside timeto spend with them. Be sure to tellthem about the abundant life youhave through Jesus Christ. Theharvest of souls comes throughrelationship. Begin planting now soyou can do your part to win the lostto Jesus. We will all rejoice in theharvest.

Seek every day for the abundant lifethat only comes from God.
