S2 - #41 THAT THY FAITH FAIL NOT

Brother Singh challenges us to follow him as he follows the Lord. It is 21st Century arrogance that causes some people to believe that the God-called ministers are ordinary men, who we listen to at our discretion. People in the early church understood differently: "And you became followers of us {the ministry}, and the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Ghost." (1 Thess. 1:6) By following the ministry, we follow the Lord. To defy or ignore those God placed over us puts us outside His will, making our salvation is impossible.
