Leaders are Accountable

But let no one dispute, let no one argue, for My case is against you priests. You will stumble by day; the prophets will also stumble with you by night. And I will destroy your mother. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will reject you from serving as my priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your sons. Hosea 4:4-7

It is sad when leaders fail to seek the Lord and walk in His ways, then knowledge of God is forsaken and mere liturgy takes its place. Every time a disaster occurs in my country we see images of churches filled with people who do not normally go to church and usually these images are of churches steeped in ritual and not much else, the life is missing.

Leaders are more accountable, their flock need to hear knowledge of God and when this is lacking they flounder. If the gospel is not preached there is no hope. The message of the Cross is pivotal. The Old Testament merely shows the way to the Cross. The hope is in the grace given by God through His Son to all mankind, not just a select few but all may come. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord, will be saved. ( Romans 10:13; Acts 2:21; Joel 2:32)

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. This message is the one that brings hope, forgiveness of sin and deliverance from the clutches of sin. Amen!
