    About this ebook

    This book is rendered to the Body of Christ as an alarm and a challenge against attitudes within the Church that has watered down, and in many cases redefined, what it is to be Christ-like.
    The reader will find strong confrontation for both leadership as well as contending against some traditional embraces that do not edify the Church. The aim of this literary work is to submit the concept of effective structuring in the local church assembly as it should reflect the order of things that served as a shadow of things to come.
    In all, it is the desire of the author to contribute to "solution". I found it a joy to share these words, these pages in knowing that the reader of this book will leave inspired to do something greater than the work that inspired them.
    The author found salvation under the ministry of one late Charles Henry Taliefero in the year of Nineteen hundred ninty-two. Since salvation, the author began to venture into his call to the ministry of preaching the word of GOD in 1993 and is presently an associate minister at Christ Temple Apostolic Church in Gary, Indiana.

    Author

    C.E. Burns Jr

    I have been in ministry now for 17 years with 15 of those years being a licensed minister. My focus has been primarily geared toward the encouragement of GOD's people to invoke desire toward our LORD. As a believer I have desired to see the Move of GOD and long for the Church of JESUS CHRIST abroad to experience our LORD in HIS fullness as well. I have been a resident of Hammond Indiana most of my life and I attend church in nearby Gary Indiana. I hope that this experience is a blessing to all that encounter it.

      Acknowledgments

      FIRST, I HAIL THE ALMIGHTY, THE Progenitor of all existence seen and unseen, who is the source of all inspiration and the reason all things persist.

      Now for everybody else: I thank God for those close as well as those at my extended reach. I thank God for those who were distractions as well as those who helped me remain focused. I thank God for those who attempted harm upon me which, according to God’s grace, deepened my strength and character with every failed attempt to deliver me to despair.

      Oh, you didn’t see your name, only references to Jesus? Well, I thanked Him for you, and with that I hope you’ll agree that it’s not about us but Him.

      What shall I do if He does not answer, or how shall I go without His direction? For yet it is not Him but I who is far away. Now have I been drawn away from Him by him who hateth my soul. For he who hates my soul has won favor with that part which was crucified. But now let us journey on, for morning is near. But, if that part will not come forth with me, shall a battle be marked and set in array, and then shall death be the plot and mercy chased away? Then shall the sword not be put away nor the trumpet of war held back. Then shall unrighteousness weep and wallow in this fury which the Lord has ordained. And then will the righteous proclaim who shall divide asunder us from the love of our God? May the righteous say so! So shall they lay in his bosom and he will embrace them, and so shall the spoiler be spoiled for their soul did love the Lord. (Pause and reflect!)

      In fasting did I find Him and He was ever so bright. How fair, how beautiful is He there is none to compare. Foolish men hold cheap glass toward the heavens and say, Ah, how great this thing that I have. But the wise knoweth the diamond that is marked above all of these. And so is the Lord the foundation of the wise and the hope of the prudent. And this do His children know. (Pause and reflect!)

      Introduction

      THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME to peruse the pages of this book. God inspired me to write it to confront a crooked ideology concerning the governing of the church (in particular in the United States). By all that is illustrated, we can conclude the church is asleep! I understand that you, as a reader, especially you who are active in various ministries, are asking, Where does he come from with that?

      Some individual ministries are experiencing some success, but there is mediocrity in the body as a whole. Perhaps a noted and ranking clergy would not be as effective making such a statement because the reader would likely assume arrogance on their part. But coming from somewhat of a different arena I think that, not being any more true coming from one of lowly estate , readers will be more comfortable and less intimidated to relate.

      Thank you for accepting my invitation to explore His house and to learn how the zeal for His house can consume us. Enjoy.

      CHAPTER ONE:

      IN THE BEGINNING

      THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN TELLS us, In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1; KJV).

      Bible scholars know that the Old Testament starts with the same that before anything there was God. It was no different with the church; on the day of Pentecost all eyes (in one place with one accord) were on God. But just as with everything else man gets his hands on, the church started out in a marvelous state,
