DISCERNMENT
Every member of this body has authority in Christ. When God sets someone into authority, that person isn’t perfect and will make mistakes. (Ja. 3:2) If God shows us that something is in disorder, He doesn’t reveal this to us to create division between us and other members. He reveals it so we can discern Christ the body from religious disorders. (1 Co. 1:29) He reveals it to deliver Christ’s body from anything that works against what God is doing. Rather than focusing on the fleshly nature that is fading into non-existence, the Spirit urges us to focus on the ministry (Christ) in each member.
