I am finished with this series on the blog on answering objections to congregational authority. Before reading this series check out my “Biblical Support for Church Congregational Authority: Table of Contents.” So here are the table of contents of answering objections to congregational authority:

Our church sent one of our pastors to a small struggling church four years ago this month. What started as a church with 3-10 weekly attenders in an area with many ex-cons and struggling individuals, a food bank that fed a few dozen each week, has now become a church with several dozen weekly attenders feeding several dozen more at the food bank.
But Pastor Paul is beginning to feel his own years creeping up on him. This small country church needs a new shepherd, so our prayer has shifted slightly.
Let us lift up all such churches and those with other issues that need resolving.

Our little church keeps several pamphlets on our welcome table (we need to get some more!) Every several weeks, I have someone ask me questions about some of the points these bring up, even from regular attenders. While these pamphlets are not really “my thing” personally, I still appreciate the value they bring to helping connect people to truth.

I have heard of people who feel threatened and unsafe since the election (including some college students I know), but also since the election I have not heard of actual violence. There are reports of racist texts being sent out, and that is simply wrong, but I don’t know too much about it.
Let us pray that things and people stay calm and willing to be reasonable.

We hired a secretary this year, and it has been so helpful. We tell her frequently how grateful we are for her, but it is a good reminder to keep showing our gratitude!
Pray for church secretaries, too, because they face many obstacles and spiritual attacks, too!

Vote (if you are able), or don’t complain (because you did not take part in the process, and Philippians 2:14-16). Pray for our leaders to do well and even turn to Christ. Pray that the election can be reasonable.
