There Needs To Be An Order Of Office, But In Every Single Office That Is Presented In The Scriptures There Is The Personal Emphasis Within That Legal Concept. In The Church The Elder Is An Office-bearer. But Both The Preaching Elders And The Ruling Elders Are "ministers," And The Word "minister" Is A Personal Relationship, It Does Not Speak Of Dominance. There Is To Be Order In The Church, But The Preaching Elder Or The Ruling Elder Is To Be A Minister, With A Loving Personal Relationship With Those Who Are Before Him, Even When They Are Wrong And Need Admonition.

If Man Is Not Made In The Image Of God, Nothing Then Stands In The Way Of Inhumanity. There Is No Good Reason Why Mankind Should Be Perceived As Special. Human Life Is Cheapened. We Can See This In Many Of The Major Issues Being Debated In Our Society Today.

The Great Distinction Of A True Christian Is The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit. How Careful Should He Be, Lest Anything In His Thoughts Or Feelings Would Be Offensive To The Divine Guest.!
