Established Church

 

Foundations of the Church as established in the scriptures

Guidance into laying a True Foundation 

"Before anything of worth can be built to endure, there must be a foundation laid.  There can never be lasting results in life and ministry, nor can we expect to grow, build, or simply soar into a great or supernatural dimensions of God in this time or eternity with a clear and Holy Spirit foundation laid." 

We must first be grounded in the foundation truths of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and established in His biblical principles, practicing these principles. We must be principle driven. 

"Established Church is a Body of Love" 

Love is a the most wonderful and glorious power God gave to man in the beginning. The Principles that builds, foster, nourish, directs and guide love are the most power and enduring items of existence.

This give reason why “Love is the seed which will keep the death and hurts, yes even the weeds of defeats, indifference and bitterness from coming between a people joined together for Christ's cause; it is the seed for man and woman long life together.” Love is the powerful glue that holds everything together, in spite of.

 

What about Protocol?

God is a God of Order
It is truth, "Order came before man, and the Lord God formed the universe before He made man." Man came out of Order; therefore order is the FIRST LAW of nature." God only operates and functions in His program because of His' order. The Church can not fulfill  its mission except in Order. We call this 'properly function,' "Protocol." It is not only necessary but mandatory that there be a "spiritual protocol" among us as God's people. "Protocol" in the Dictionary, means ' carrying forth and dealing with 'priority in order, rank, importance, etc. ' with a clear sense of formality. In  'Protocol' there is  etiquette  expressed in social behavior,  a conventional requirements (of order) is in true protocol for it must exist and carry on."

 

The beauty of any  structures whether architectural, spiritual, or life must  from the foundation; for that from that structure alone are the materials for it to stand and endure.  Therefore, when we admire end results, whether modern architecture, or the lasting relationship of individuals, it all rests in the building of the  foundation.  "If the foundation is not laid properly, the building cannot exist and will not exist, nor it last nor endure." 

The foundations of our lives and that of others we become involved with all depends upon how well we understand foundational building and practice. Again, may we remember, our effectiveness both now and eternity rests upon the present foundation we laid with God, our fellow mankind and our Christian walk being driven by these principles. We must be built in right manner with Godly relations and the true principles of foundation laid by Lord Savior Jesus Christ. There is a key to our future in this world if we build the true foundation upon Christ through His Church..."

From the pen and Lips of

Bishop J. L. Payne
