   WHO REFUSES TO ENTER THE HOLY OF HOLIES?

   WHO REFUSES TO ENTER THE HOLY OF HOLIES? Glory be to God, hallelujah! God is faithful to His Word. And when we’re faithful to His Word, supernatural results take place. One of the great themes I’ve been learning is relationships. And biblical relationships are governed by the Word of God. That includes leadership. An elder is not a dictator. A pastor is not Jesus. Spiritual authority is servant leadership, not intimidation. “Nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.” 1 Peter 5:3, NKJV And this is where the secret place matters. You cannot give someone spiritual responsibility that they are not spiritually prepared to carry. If someone won’t pray, won’t study the Word, won’t submit to correction, won’t walk in humility, and won’t develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit, why would we put them in charge of other people’s spiritual lives? Gift does not replace character. Family does not replace calling. Personality does not replace anointing. That’s why I’m against nepotism and favoritism in ministry. Your cousin doesn’t get a leadership position because he’s your cousin. Your spouse doesn’t automatically become a pastor because you’re a pastor. Your friend doesn’t get the pulpit because you like them. Calling must be recognized. Character must be proven. Fruit must be examined. “Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.” 1 Corinthians 4:2, NKJV And sometimes leadership has to say no to someone they love. That’s not hatred. That’s stewardship. Jesus is the Head of the Church. Every leader will answer to Him for how they handled the people entrusted to them. “Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account.” Hebrews 13:17, NKJV Notice that responsibility: they watch out for your souls. That’s serious business. A leader who refuses to correct problems because the person is a spouse, relative, friend, or big donor isn’t keeping biblical peace. They’re protecting a relationship at the expense of the flock. And eventually, wood, hay, and stubble will be exposed. “Each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire.” 1 Corinthians 3:13, NKJV So before we ask, “What position can I give this person?” Let’s ask: Are they faithful? Are they teachable? Are they humble? Do they know the Word? Do they live what they teach? Do they have the fruit to carry the responsibility? Don’t put people in the inner court who refuse to enter the secret place. Leadership isn’t about putting your favorite people in positions. It’s about protecting the people God entrusted to you. And sometimes the most loving thing a leader can say is: “I love you too much to put you in a position you’re not ready to carry.” Peace and love as you work out your own salvation. In Jesus’ holy name, amen.

   HEART, HEAD, AND ENDURANCE

   HEART, HEAD, AND ENDURANCE There is a connection between how we handle ordinary things and how we handle spiritual responsibility. Now, we can take this too far. Not every dirty kitchen means someone is spiritually immature. But patterns matter. If a person continually ignores simple responsibilities, rationalizes poor stewardship, or refuses to correct what they know is wrong, that can eventually show up in ministry. Small Things Reveal Big Things Jesus said: “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much.” — Luke 16:10 NKJV That’s why servanthood, stewardship, and communication are foundational. If you can’t learn to serve people, manage what has been entrusted to you, and communicate well, you’re not ready to manage a larger ministry responsibility. Faithfulness comes before promotion. Put the Right People in the Right Places A good leader doesn’t put somebody in a position simply because they’re family, a friend, or because they love the Lord. You look at: The heart — Do they love God and people? The head — Do they understand what they’re doing? The sacrifice — Are they willing to serve when it costs them? The endurance — Can they remain faithful when things get difficult? Not everybody is called to do everything. Don’t put someone who hates technology in charge of technology. Don’t put someone who has no aptitude for a particular task over that task. Put your aces in their places. The right person in the right place can flourish. The wrong person in the wrong place can create problems for everybody. Endurance Tells the Story You can teach somebody a technical skill. But you can’t manufacture character overnight. The real question is: Who can keep their composure when things get hard? Who is still there five years later? Ten years later? Still faithful. Still serving. Still teachable. Still loving people. That’s the person I want to invest in. Don’t Muzzle the Ox And when you find faithful people, don’t take advantage of them. Paul wrote: “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” — 1 Corinthians 9:9 NKJV Ministry leaders should not demand everything from people while giving nothing back. If someone is carrying a significant load, leadership should care for them, honor them, equip them, and make sure they aren’t being exploited. Stewardship isn’t just managing things. It’s managing people well. Ultimately, ministry isn’t about finding the most talented person. It’s about finding faithful people with the heart, understanding, sacrifice, and endurance to carry the assignment. Character carries what gifting starts.

   CORRECTION IS PART OF BIBLICAL RELATIONSHIP 01OCT26

   CORRECTION IS PART OF BIBLICAL RELATIONSHIP 01OCT26: There is a difference between biblical ministry and authoritarian religion. Biblical authority does not mean, “You can’t question me.” It means we are all submitted to the Word of God—including leaders. Respect Does Not Mean Silence Scripture gives us different ways to correct different people. Paul told Timothy: “Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.” — 1 Timothy 5:1–2 NKJV Notice the balance. You can correct someone without dishonoring them. An elder deserves respect. A parent deserves respect. A peer deserves respect. A child deserves appropriate care. But respect does not mean that someone becomes untouchable. If a spiritual leader tells me to do something that contradicts Scripture, I should be able to say: “Sir, with all due respect, I don’t see that in the Word. Can we open our Bibles and look at it together?” That’s not rebellion. That’s biblical accountability. Let’s Open the Bible Healthy spiritual relationships should be able to handle honest questions. Sometimes a subordinate may say: “Pastor, I thought Scripture said this.” The right response doesn’t have to be anger. It can be: “Let’s open the Bible and study it together.” We have the technology to put the Scriptures on the screen, compare passages, examine the context, and work through the question together. And when we’re finished? We can still hug each other. That’s a healthy relationship. Jesus Allowed Questions Look at Nicodemus. He came to Jesus with questions. Jesus didn’t shut him down. He taught him. Peter also had moments when Jesus had to correct him. Jesus even told Peter: “Get behind Me, Satan!” — Matthew 16:23 NKJV That was a severe correction—but it wasn’t the end of Peter’s relationship with Jesus. After Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus restored him three times. Correction and restoration can exist in the same relationship. But There Is a Difference We must distinguish between someone who is struggling to understand and someone who is deliberately committed to rebellion, strife, or destruction. There is a difference between: “I don’t understand. Show me the Scripture.” and “I don’t care what the Bible says. I’m going to do what I want.” The first can be a teachable moment. The second is a heart problem. Proverbs warns us about fools who reject correction: “Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.” — Proverbs 26:4 NKJV Not every argument deserves your time. Authority Must Remain Under Authority A pastor isn’t above Scripture. An apostle isn’t above Scripture. A prophet isn’t above Scripture. An evangelist isn’t above Scripture. A teacher isn’t above Scripture. Jesus is Lord, and His Word is the standard. So biblical submission is not blind obedience to a human being. It is submission to God, expressed through proper biblical relationships. And when there is disagreement, the goal shouldn’t be: “Who’s going to win?” The goal should be: “What does the Word of God say?” We can disagree, search the Scriptures, correct one another, and still walk away in love. That’s not weakness in leadership. That’s mature leadership. Peace and love as you work out your own salvation. In Jesus’ holy name, amen.
