There are so many different denominations of Churches in the world today. every time you look around there is a new name Church organization being started up. Pastors are leaving the diocese they have worked under for many years to start their own. I wonder about such moves, some of the time. The reason being: man does not have the authority to make himself a Bishop, only God can do that. Don't get me wrong now, I said some of the times I have to wonder about such moves. My reasons being backed by the Scriptures according to the writings of the apostle Paul in 1Timothy 3:1-5 "This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the Church of God?" In other words, according to the scriptures, a man have to walk a chalk line to be able to be a bishop in the sight of God. Many bishops has left their wives and gotten married to another woman. Some of the worse Children in the world is bishop's children; There are bishops that will mistreat people at the blink of an eye, and not give it a second thought. Are these real bishops called by God according to the Bible. If any of us desires to be a bishop our life living must lineup with the word of God, and that is in every way. How can we lead the people of God' the right way if we can't live it ourselves. I am an elder in the Church Of God In Christ, I must live the life I teach and preach about. I belive God; I trust God: I believe Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God; I believe no man/woman cometh to the Father but by Jesus; I believe there is none other name under the heavens, given among men whereby we can be saved, but by the name of Jesus. I believe there is a Heaven and a hell; I believe those that accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, goes to heaven and those that reject him goes to hell. Bishops, pastors, preachers, of all titles,

people of every walk of life, white, black, red, yellow, or brown and any other color there may be out there, the rich, the poor, the educated and the uneducated a like, we will all have to meet the same God in the end of this life. Will you be ready to meet him? if so, what will he say to you, to me, will it be depart from me ye workers of iniquity for I never knew you, or will it be, well done my true and faithful service, welcom unto my rest? Think about it. because we are all 24 hours closer to judgment today than we were yesterday. Bye now.
