When you do what is 'truly' best for YOU . . . it will naturally serve those around you! 'Happiness' Coach Carolee Dalton
Chris Welch writes on Facebook
This throws up some pretty deep thinking if you align this with this
sentence:we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even
Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together
[k]by what every joint supplies, according to the [l]proper working of
each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up
of itself in love.Ephesians 4
Let's zone in on "proper working of each individual part."
Judgment begins with the household of God. This means a lot more than broader sins.
I AM A PIANO TUNER and I begin with one string of one note, and work out to the rest of the piano.
God begins with His church. The administration He is rolling out Ephesians 1:10 begins in His household.
If
He is rolling out an administration based on Galations 2:20, the new
consciousness that He lives my life, it follows that we'd better find
out a bit about how Jesus as Chris Welch,Jesus as Carolee Dalton best
works. Now as a Life Coach Carolee Dalton is probably focussing on
individuals finding how to maximise their own potential. What I'm
suddenly seeing is bigger. You see if we're all nestled somewhere in
some big Rothschild pyramid performing a function of his choosing rather
than our own, even if we are Christians we are misusing ourselves. And
the ones that hinders the most are those members of the Body of Christ
we would have been helping to build up were we functioning "according to
the proper working of each part." Let's scroll back inward to church.
If
a pastor assumes scriptures say that the pastoral gift is one that is
exercised as an administrative CEO of some local corporation known as
the church, his eternal "megaphone role" out the front of church is
actually preventing the proper working of each individual part. One
pastor one church dates back to periods before anybody knew they were
saved, baptised in the Spirit, and knowing Galations 2:20 in their own
lives as the Father stage of growth. But that's just a preliminary
criticism. St Paul was so far reaching as an apostle he didn't even see
the Body in terms of meetings. in the Ephesians 4 passage it doesn't
talk in terms of meetings. (it doesn't exclude them either)But it's
speaking in terms of a whole manner of living on the earth.
