Without Church Leadership

But the Children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. ~ Joshua 7:1

Dear CLOTH Brothers & Sisters,

I am addressing only those of us who attended yesterday’s CLOTH meeting. Every line of scripture in this message is God’s Word to us clearly and specifically. There were two primary cries expressed from our hearts as we called out to God yesterday: For the church pastors to lead their churches to run to the roar, to ACT on His authority to bring to fruition, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Holy Spirit’s response through Sash in my email at 7:47pm last night: https://church-finds-its-voice.mailchimpsites.com/church-and-politics

And the other primary cry: Forgiveness and healing at Twin Pond. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. Throughout the Old and New Testaments are shining examples of how God deals with sin. There are perhaps no greater examples than Achan from the old {Joshua 7:1}, and Ananias and Sapphira from the New {Acts 5:1}. Chambers writes (from this morning’s read), The Bible looks upon the human race as it is the result of a mutiny against God. If you recall, Pastor Bill’s letter to the McGowans and Pastor Aldrich, signed by twenty-four of us, extending the olive branch for peace and reconciliation was not only ignored, but our obedience to the Holy Spirit was twisted into a lie by the transgressing spirit making CLOTH out to be the villain. They are nice people praying and singing in the darkness. Resuming fellowship with unrepentance is an afront to the God we serve. We may as well embrace Achan, Ananias, and Sapphira.

Respectfully,

Chip
