“If therefore you have not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true? No household servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon” (Luke 16:11, 13). This week we continue the series titled, “Necessary Experiences, Important Lessons, and a Crucial Decision,” with speaking from Brother Ron Kangas on learning how to work, how to manage money, how to live a consecrated life, and how to live in the world but not of the world.

Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil, For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13. As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God’s enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which expose the stratagems of the devil. This week, we have a narration of the article entitled “Assailing the Ground of Oneness (2): Diligently Keeping the Oneness Requiring a Local Ground,” originally published on October 26, 2020. The New Testament emphatically teaches that the church is one and that this oneness should be preserved by and practiced on the ground of locality, which is the ground of one church in one city. By invoking the oneness of the Spirit and of the Body in Ephesians 4, some Christians question whether the ground of locality is truly necessary for the oneness of the church. By expounding Ephesians 4 in the greater context of the New Testament, this article shows how the ground of locality is indeed vital and necessary for the oneness of the church, enabling the believers “to keep the oneness of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace” (Eph. 4:3). May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
