LET ELDERS NOT DIE SO CHILDREN WON’T EAT VULTURES AND CALL IT FRIED CHICKEN. This is my burden. This is my warning. This is my prayer for the Church. May we never become so modern that we forget what is eternal. May we never become so popular that we become afraid of truth. And may we finish our earthly race faithfully... at the feet of our Master and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. 🙏 https://youtu.be/lZcwmkQ3_sI?si=8pPW7jhJeQ2Xe4CV

Perhaps the greatest tragedy is not that an elder dies. It is that an elder dies... and takes the lesson with them. Don't let that happen. Pass the mantle. Preserve the landmark. Teach the next generation. Warn them. Love them enough to tell them the truth. Because eternity is too serious for spiritual junk food. https://youtu.be/lZcwmkQ3_sI?si=8pPW7jhJeQ2Xe4CV

Verse for Saturday, September 12 Psalm 128:2 2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.

LET ELDERS NOT DIE. Let truth continue. Let holiness continue. Let the Gospel remain undiluted. Let the watchmen keep watching. Let the trumpets keep sounding. Let the mantle keep moving from one generation to another. And above everything else... LET JESUS CHRIST REMAIN LORD. https://youtu.be/lZcwmkQ3_sI?si=8pPW7jhJeQ2Xe4CV

If this message has challenged you, don't merely like it. Think about it. Ask yourself: What am I feeding my soul? Who is discipling me? What doctrine am I consuming? Can I distinguish Scripture from opinion? And if I am an elder... What am I leaving behind for the generation coming after me? https://youtu.be/lZcwmkQ3_sI?si=8pPW7jhJeQ2Xe4CV

Because one day... the likes will disappear. The followers will disappear. The platforms will disappear. The buildings will disappear. Our earthly titles will disappear. And every one of us will face eternity. So let us make sure we have not spent our lives feeding people what they wanted... while withholding what they needed. https://youtu.be/lZcwmkQ3_sI?si=8pPW7jhJeQ2Xe4CV

Let elders not die. Because the day may come when children inherit the kitchen... but nobody teaches them the difference between chicken and vulture. They will eat whatever is placed before them. And because it looks religious... they may never question what they are consuming. That is why the watchman must watch. https://youtu.be/lZcwmkQ3_sI?si=8pPW7jhJeQ2Xe4CV

My greatest concern is not that the Church will lose buildings. Not that we will lose platforms. Not that we will lose followers. My greatest concern is that we could lose TRUTH... and still believe we are doing well. A church can be crowded and spiritually empty. A preacher can be famous and spiritually bankrupt. A message can be popular and eternally dangerous. https://youtu.be/lZcwmkQ3_sI?si=8pPW7jhJeQ2Xe4CV

And young believers... Don't despise the elders. Learn. Ask questions. Search the Scriptures. Observe their lives. Receive what is biblical. Reject what is not. But never assume that because something is old it is true, or because something is new it is false. Measure everything by the Word. https://youtu.be/lZcwmkQ3_sI?si=8pPW7jhJeQ2Xe4CV

Verse for Wednesday, September 09 Psalm 127:1 1 Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.
