PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, August 6, 1979
Page 2
As I stated in the most recent Pastor's Report, this entire system
of Pastoral Administration has brought only disharmony, a competitive
spirit, and a coveting of power within the Church of God.
God teaches us that we must have UNITY� We must all SPEAK THE SAME
THING, and be of ONE MIND--the mind of CHRIST and God's Holy Spirit. Self­
seeking has no place in the Church of God, and the Church has been full
of it. As Christ leads, we are trying to elimi�ate all that, and restore
humility, the attitude of "GIVE" instead of "GET," and eliminate power
struggles for dominant authority in the Church of the living GOD!
I ask you all to PRAY fervently and earnestly for PEACE, HARMONY, and
UNITY and a self-sacrificing spirit within God's Church.
Jesus Christ GAVE HIMSELF for the church that it might be holy, with­
out spot or wrinkle or blemish. We must confess we have been full of spots,
wrinkles and blemishes. Christ is coming very soon. TIME IS SHORT. Reve­
lation 19 says the Church will have made herself READY when Christ comes.
WE ARE NOT YET READY!
PLEASE HELP ME, dear �inisters of the living GOD, to make God's
Church READY!
