How the Body of Christ is SUPPOSED to Function

I was standing by the sound technicians in the church last Sunday wondering if I could perhaps learn something about how all that technical stuff works. Our sound guy was very good at explaining it all to me while at the same time fine tuning the sound board using the various knobs and buttons to make all of the different instruments and singers sound the way they should. It really is fascinating stuff.

He explained how each dial works a specific way and serves a very specific purpose. If one of these isn't adjusted properly then none of it will sound right, he explained. He also said that if you take away one of these knobs or buttons then the unit loses its full capacity - it cannot realize its true and full potential. Of the hundreds of individual parts on this sound board - each one has a role to play; an important role and if it's not functioning as it should then it is less than it could be.

The body of Christ is the same way. Notice in this picture that the unit is the sum of its parts. Nothing really sticks out. It is all rather harmonious - aggregated into an instrument capable of generating beautiful sounds and rhythms. People who try to stand out in the church and want to be a "somebody" need to realize that we are ALL equally valuable to the body and if one is missing the whole thing is dramatically reduced in potency. Essentially all we are are knobs and buttons on a sound board - each with jobs to perform and an important role to play.

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

14 For the body is not one member, but many.

15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?

20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it

So you see that as we work together, as a body, we are working as the Lord wants His body to function. We all have a role to play in the Kingdom work. Rather than trying to have someone else's position in the body why not seek the Lord on what your position is and then be the best at it - no matter what it is. Take it from me - the sooner you seek the Lord on what to do instead of envying someone else and trying to have their place of authority the more quickly YOU can find YOUR place in the body and find true contentment doing what you were meant to do.

Finally there is one more fascinating thing about this particular sound board - the most important button of all - the POWER button. It's hidden! You can't see it but it's there. And without the power button this thing is useless! Just like our savior who lives in the transcendental places - the supernatural realms. He's there, waiting to be activated- to be accessed. He longs for us to reach out to him - to call upon His name - he waits. It's not until the Power of God is turned on in the church that the true purposes of why we exist can be manifested. Amen.

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:2

NEVER has a TRUE Christian become an ATHEIST

Imagine this scenario in the theatre of your mind. You walk into a Walmart, shop around for a while, and then leave. A couple of days later you come across a friend and he tells you he's on his way to Walmart. You tell your friend there is no such thing as Walmart and you have a great debate on the existence of Walmart. Eventually your friend gives up and goes to Walmart anyway. What have you just done?

This is exactly what Atheists who claim to be former Christians are expecting to convince others to be true about them. They don't know that's what they are doing but alas, just as John Locke told Jack Shepherd on "LOST"... "crazy people don't admit when they're crazy".

Christianity does not have an arbitrary definition. The first six letters in the word "Christian" spell "CHRIST". A Christian is - a the very minimum - someone who believes and follows the teachings of Christ! And one of the core tenets of His teaching is this:

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:27

So then, since Jesus now dwells in the supernatural (transcendental) realm, and a Christian, according to Christ, is someone who hears His voice and follows Him, how could it ever be possible that a person who believes supernatural realities do not exist was ever a Christian? It is not possible.



So how does a person hear from Jesus? How does that work? If we're only saved when we hear and follow Him then how do we know we're hearing from Him? How do we know we're following Him? This is a huge problem for ministries like Ray Comfort's "Way of the Master". He talks people into the Kingdom. He reasons with them and convinces them they are sinners in need of a savior and by intellectual ascension they embrace Christ - intellectually. The question remains: are they REALLY saved? Ray's ministry is valuable, don't get me wrong. It is certain that many people probably are saved because of his effort. The apostle Paul was a highly skilled debater and won many converts because of this. However it should be emphasized that if a smart person can talk you into the Kingdom then someone smarter can talk you out of it. This is the overwhelming state of the vast majority of atheists today.

I can remember being in the office of a ministry colleague many years ago in Salt Lake City talking about the things of God when a young man walked right into our meeting and said he was driving along I-80 and suddenly realized, without any intellectual manipulation at all, that he needed to be saved. Jesus was speaking to this young man. He gave his life to the Lord right then and there. Twenty minutes later he was back on the road headed for California.

To know when Jesus is speaking to us we should first know when He is not. The believer must always be led, even when conversing with God, by peace. Jesus is not speaking while you are in a fit of rage, confusion, mentally disturbed, or in the flesh. He waits for you to be still - to relax - to chill out and wait for Him. He waits for you - patiently - while you go through all the motions of trying to figure it all out on your own. When you've finally stopped doing that He can, and will, speak to you. Even when we THINK we are still and quiet, we often are not. Our minds tend to go a mile a minute even in our quiet time. We think "geeeeez when will this be over so I can go out and think some more".

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5

Picture this scene - you're a truck driver. You hear that your friend is injured in the hospital and you rush to see him. You head to the nurses station and wait for assistance. While standing there a doctor comes and stands beside you. All of a sudden everything that doctor knows is transferred to your mind. In an instant you gain the knowledge required to do what took the doctor a decade or more to learn. This is what it is like to hear from God. This scenario happens every day to millions of believers around the world who are literally hearing from Jesus. It is a form of knowledge communication. Just like the young man who was driving down the interstate, perhaps in a quiet moment of meditation, and he heard from God that salvation was his and he was led, by God, to two men who would lead him to say the words with his mouth which broke the curse of death off of his soul and voila! He was born again!

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:10

Believers do not hear the audible voice of Jesus but the voice or instructions from Jesus get downloaded to us. Have you ever bee in a church and the pastor pulls someone out of the crown and says something like "the Lord has shown me this about you" and the person breaks down and can't believe his ears? Generally it will be something the Lord does to show Himself to a person - to show that you cannot hide from Him - but it will ALWAYS be a way for the person to get free or get an answer to a secret question. I have seen this countless times. In fact this is how I was delivered from smoking.

When I was saved I smoked and couldn't quit. I tried and tried but could not. So one day I just said "Jesus when you're ready you just take it from me" and that was it. Eight years later the church I was attending had a guest speaker come up from Dallas. I came in late so I sat in the back. With my chair leaning against the wall I listened to this man and all of a sudden he interrupted himself and said "you - come up here". He was pointing to me. I went up front, stood in from of him and he said "God is taking tobacco out of your life right now". Remember that eight years prior I had said to God that when He was ready he could just "take" it! And now, eight years later, this preacher from Texas, who could not possible know what I had said all those years ago or even that I smoked for that matter (he didn't know me and we came in late) tells me God is "taking" tobacco out of my life? Astounding! I haven`t had a cigarette since. Did God mess with my mind - possibly - but whatever the means the result is that I was delivered from a 21 year addiction because a preacher from Texas knew how to hear from God, get information downloaded to him about me that God wanted him to know so that I could be free.

That is how we hear the voice of Jesus; by getting quiet before Him and recieving information He wants us to know. If a person has never heard the Voice of Jesus and yet has recieved the free gift of salvation that person should at least be striving to hear from Him - to enter into that perpetual Sabbath Rest purchased in the cross. We enter into that rest so that we can hear from Him.

Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.11 ¶Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

The proper Christian view of REAL science

The word "science" comes from the Latin word "scientia" which literally means "knowledge". Most scientists today aren't really practicing science. What they appear to be doing mostly resembles some sort of religion. The scientific disciplines are supposed to involve the application of knowledge to the field of study. That which passes for science today is not science at all but seems to be made up of mostly speculation and hypothetical theories designed to back one religious position over another.

The real essence of science has no religious bias. It doesn't make claims about the existence of God one way or the other. Science is knowledge in the natural sense. The existence of God is spiritually discerned. To know God is to have spiritual knowledge and through a relationship with God there is a real, natural manifestation in a person's life. Because the origin of the relationship is spiritual it is not something that can be tested in a lab. The physical results of this relationship with God can be observed in physical healings and other miraculous manifestations but when natural science is applied it fails because it does not recognize the transcendental realities. It would be like measuring the temperature of a liquid with an ohm meter. Your results will not yield any accurate information. Real and anecdotal evidence of changed lives resulting from encounters with the living God are too numerous to count. Test tubes and presupposed Atheism are useless when examining this evidence.

So science, as knowledge, is a benefit to everyone whether Christian or not. When scientists come up with findings that are indisputable we can thank them for their effort and make our own conclusions. We can ignore the conclusions of atheists and conflate the science with what we know from the Bible. So when the discovery of such things as endogenous retro-viruses becomes public and turns out to be real science we conflate that information with what the Bible says about the sins of the fathers being passed on to the following generations and conclude that the physical manifestation of sin is viral. If shared genetics (i.e. chimps and humans) show the same viral infections in the same markers the religious evolutionists claim to have proven the leap from primates to people (without transitional evidence) and yet the only thing proven is that the two share similar building material just as the Bible predicts
