06/14/23 FIND AND FOLLOW GOD'S PLAN

If the local church, along with pastoral ministry authority, was not important and essential to New Testament faith and faithfulness, then it would not have been fundamental in the teachings of the New Testament prophets and apostles, and it would not have been the target of demonic attacks from the days of the apostolic church until now. In fact, the attack intensifies against the church and God's ministry as we get closer to the end.

One of the most significant signs of the end times is the abundance of false teachers and false doctrines. Also remember, God's word tells believers that we should be more closely aligned with our local body of believers as the end approaches. Remember too, God emphasized that believers should follow the faith of those whom He has appointed as leaders, and to submit and obey the rule of those whom God has appointed and anointed as leaders.
