JESUS IS BUILDING HIS CHURCH!
by Chip Brogden

"I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us" (III John 9).

How do we know if a particular work is the true building of God, part of the genuine Church? All we have to do is see who has the preeminence there. If an apostle or pastor is considered the spiritual head then Christ does not have the preeminence. If the elected deacons are in charge then Christ does not have the preeminence.

We may give Him lip service and acknowledge with our mouth that it is His Church, but apart from revelation these are empty words. When the moment of truth comes man will always seize control, demonstrating that Christ does not have the preeminence there, and indeed, probably never had it to begin with.
