1 | Every-Member Ministry | Eph 4:12 | DocTrinsograce | 243337 | ||
Not by neglecting the means of the Word, not by "secret revelations of the Spirit," not by private interpretations, not by neglecting the ministry of the church... The following is an excerpt by Charles Hodge on Ephesians 4:12. He handles the Greek with that well needed training of every teacher of the Word. http://heidelblog.net/2016/07/hodge-on-every-member-ministry-ephesians-412/ |

2 | Every-Member Ministry | Eph 4:12 | EdB | 243338 | ||
Interesting commentary but ignores the fact that the church often fails to equip the saints, choosing instead to preach at them. I wonder how many would answer in the infirmative if asked, as they left the Sunday morning service, if they felt empowered to preach, teach and serve Christ? I fear most would say no. People attend church with many expectations but I wonder how many expect to be equipped? Church today is often focused at convicting sinners and trying to win souls instead of equipping the saints. Some churches focus on worship and ceremony to revitalize the members emotions but do little to teach them discipleship or serving others. If more churches today would refocus on equipping it's members to do the work the members were called to! the church would once again be an effective force in our society. |
