*  FAILING CHRISTIAN LEADERS*
*  by C. R. Stam*

     Have you been disappointed in your pastor or the officers of your 
church or perhaps in Christian leaders in general? Have you placed great 
faith in some spiritual leader only to be disillusioned and to find out 
that your faith has been misplaced? Have you observed the growing 
popularity of some evangelist or Bible teacher whom you "know" to be 
insincere, while noting that another, whose fidelity and sincerity are 
beyond question, seems to get nowhere?

How it helps, in such situations, to be able to "rightly divide the Word 
of truth," and to enjoy "the full assurance of understanding" that comes 
with "the full knowledge [Gr., epignosis] of the mystery"! (Col. 2:2).

In "this present evil age" we are living under "the dispensation of the 
grace of God."

God is not saving good people today, nor even people who will repent and 
"do works meet for repentance." Rather, He is saving poor sinners who 
will come to Him with all their sin. This is God's gracious response to 
man's rejection of the King and the kingdom as offered at Pentecost.

Look at the way believers lived together in love and harmony during the 
Pentecostal era and you are apt to exclaim: "Why can't we live that way 
today? Let's get back to Pentecost." But look at the way believers lived 
together after the raising up of Paul, even among his beloved 
Philippians, and you will say: "It is no different today." This is 
because the believers at Pentecost were all filled with the Spirit in 
fulfillment of a prophetic promise, while today He has in grace 
committed His message to failing men and women, who indeed possess the 
Spirit, but often grieve Him.
