@Prayer Warrior here is an update on my cousin's son, Arlen, from yesterday! Keep the prayers going...God hears!!: Arlen’s been doing so well this past week they decided to move him out of the hospital and back to Dodd Hall rehab. They will evaluate his blood clots over the next month and then decide whether or not to do the heart procedure. Thank you for your prayers!!
To God be all the Glory! I continue to stand in Faith for his complete recovery!!
1Peter 3:12, Silence is giving consent to the evil. Spread those mustard seeds peeps! May every child of God hear the word of salvation and most of all, I pray they all choose wisely and lovingly.

<11> He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. <12> But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, <13> who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. ```
Father in Jesus name we bind up that force that has been coming against Savannah and we command it in Jesus name to loosed her NOW! We command you in Jesus name to cease and desist your mission against her and allow her Peace to raise her Daught up to fear the Lord. We spaek that the Same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is living and dwelling in Savannah and it will quicken her mortal body. Lord we dont care what the doctors say! We care about what you say Lord. Your word says in Isaiah 59:1 The Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save neither his ear heavy that it cannot hear. So Lord we cry out to you for Savannah, Father We cry out for her Baby, Father we call out to you for her life! We speak in Jesus name that she shall live and not die and declare the word of the Lord. Father we declare Isaiah 53:5 over Savannah now,But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. SAVANNAH WE CALL YOU HEALED IN JESUS NAME!!!!!!!AMEN

<28> Or can one walk on hot coals without scorching the feet? ```
Some questions to ponder. I have my opinions. How about you? Is a religious hierarchy a necessity for the true church (the body of Christ)? Is it even desirable? Does it have a scriptural, New Testament basis? If so, what are the proper offices of such a hierarchy? How are they to comport themselves? Are they to be lords over Gods inheritance, or servants? What about elders, deacons and bishops?

**Mark 2:23-28 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
Pronouncement about the Sabbath
<23> One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. <24> The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?" <25> And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? <26> He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions." <27> Then he said to them, "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; <28> so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath."```
Well, I guess the hard questions are more than I should expect folks to ponder.
Sorry guys, I guess I'm just feeling old and lonely today and a bit powerless to affect positive change.

**Isaiah 45:9 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
<9> Woe to you who strive with your Maker, earthen vessels with the potter! Does the clay say to the one who fashions it, "What are you making"? or "Your work has no handles"? ```
@Shadetree49 , I see the importance of each branch to have their own hierarchy, in order to promote their own branch (way of interpretation that sets them apart from the other branches). I also can see how the hierarchy's can be the ruin of each branch if they hide and protect the hierarchy's wrong doings instead of addressing them and fixing them. If the podium isn't reminding the pew to not put people on pedastals, then it's probably a sign of neglect for the pew.
@Uma-Rae That is a most excellent and thoughtful reply. Thank you
