JESUS IS LORD. ALWAYS!

We are sorry that people without authority are upsetting and confusing you.

Authority is core to the life and survival of the Church.

"This is the letter they took along with them:
“From: The apostles, elders and brothers at Jerusalem.

“To: The Gentile brothers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia. Greetings!"

"We heard that some men from our church went to you and said things that confused and upset you. Mind you, they had no authority from us; we didn’t send them. We have agreed unanimously to pick representatives and send them to you with our good friends Barnabas and Paul. We picked men we knew you could trust, Judas and Silas—they’ve looked death in the face time and again for the sake of our Master Jesus Christ. We’ve sent them to confirm in a face-to-face meeting with you what we’ve written." (Acts 15: 24 -  27 MSG)

It is the will of Jesus Christ that the Church be constituted to function under proper authority: "Apostles and Elders."
