Miniature Pontiffs
Martin Luther wrote, “I am not as concerned with the Pope that resides at Rome as the one that lives within me.” Totalitarianism is alive and flourishing in many circles of Christendom today. One expects this of the cults, but not Christians. When it comes to lording it over one another, Jesus tells His followers it should not be so with them.
Far too many are like Martha. We try to control every aspect of the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Such pastors and people know absolutely nothing about the priesthood of all believers. The scripture is clear on this matter. No believer, including a minister, is to ever have supremacy over another’s faith. FAITH MUST BE FREE!
We need to constantly remind ourselves of the Apostle’s words, “Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.”
