“I am glad that we as a church have no other leader but God’s Spirit; no other law but that which Jesus gave; no other rule of faith but the New Testament.” – R.G. Spurling

Oh such a pure heart and design. Bro. Spurling lived in the late 1800’s. If only he could see what has become of his vision for the Body of the MESSIAH. I’m certain he would be heart broken.

He also penned this poem……..

“The Lord of life from glory came,
To make our minds and hearts the same;
His gospel, law and government
Unto His children He has sent.

No more the Gentile and the Jew,
But one new man made of the two;
The lines of strife no more to lay,
But walk in love from day to day.

The law of love He did command,
That by it we should understand,
And by it all His children know,
For out of it no strife can grow.

Alas, where is this law today,
From which the Church has gone astray?
The law of Christ they have denied,
By human laws they are supplied.

Will Christians close their eyes and ears
Against the light that now appears,
Yet still to bow to human laws,
Which God will burn like useless straws?

O, brethren, for the sake of Christ,
Leave off these laws that gender strife,
Be by His Spirit ever lead,
He is the church’s only Head. ”

Oh the joyful that cries out AMEN!! Only those who hunger and thirst for righteousness can fathom the depth and wisom of these words. Do they thrill you? Then there is hope for you. For the Bible we must return, and take nothing else along as baggage. We must run to the CROSS and embraces as our victory.
Listen to me please. DEAD MEN do not need creeds, by-laws, and man made schisms of every sort imaginable. They simply “follow HIM”. They recognize and know HIM as their head, their shepherd, and their LORD. Do you?
