A SELAH FROM TAVEAU CREATIVE LEADERSHIP “Avoid unhealthy Friendly Fire, which paints an enduring picture of JESUS SAFE HOUSE as one to rabidly avoid.” Wisdom from Taveau Creative Leadership ….YET ..DEFRAGGING MINISTRY FRIENDLY FIRE… demands that we each self introspect, pray about each of our own ministry DOCTRINES…and then defrag them from all other ministry ACCUSATION. (Christ never once ministry Finger Pointed: to ensure, read the 4 GOSPELS when He was alive in each of His personal, family ,ministry, area wide, ONGOING RELATIONSHIPS)   EPHESIANS 4 COMMON NEW TESTAMENT FIRST CHURCH   DO WE ALL UNDERSTAND IT? Basic Christ Following in Healthy Relationship Preserving Ephesians 4 (C)2016 Taveau D’Arcy All copyrights reserved     BELOW are (respectfully Selah Submitted) helpful, healthy TIPS for winnowing out LAY, MINISTRY, CHIEF APOSTLE unwitting accusation. Meaning: Intentionally apostolically DEFRAGGING IT to woo and perhaps retain very many lost and wounded real human SOULS.   STEP ONE: RE-READ the LIFE STYLE of JESUS in 1) MINISTRY, 2) FAMILY, 3) and His AROUND A REGION in each one of His abiding RELATIONSHIPS..when He was alive on earth. This would entail READING each one of the FOUR GOSPELS: Mathew, Mark, Luke, John. INTENTIONALLY and closely EXAMINE how the nonLevitical CHRIST interacted (fully and deeply respectful) with all kinds and styles of mortal humans, be they saints, sinner, senior apostle, common folk males, and females…even His own mother.   TAKE NOT how JESUS interacted, related with abiding disciple, accuser Pharisees, sly Sadducees, the playful little children, and the Romans, temple idolators, normal people as well as the roving demon possessed, be they of high or low social economic, leader stature or of high or low moral stature.   REMINDER: Jesus understood that not EVERY HUMAN REAL PERSON was going to accept Him as Lord and Savior. Yet, I find no record of Christ being obnoxious, demeaning, rude, cunningly avoidant of… or in any way DISRESPECTFUL. (And, neither do any one of his first apostles!) That is simply NOT what the four Gospels report TAKE NOTE of how the New Testament PHARISEES acted in their RELATIONSHIP with JESUS: they sin spied, accuser oversee watched from afar and MORE. as Jesus, aka the area”Newbie Grass Roots Suspicious Servant Apostolic Minister” moved around “their spiritual turf.” What a big contrast!   IN ACCURATELY DISCERNING just which leader fully Hero Role Modeled an overseer ACCUSER or WHO accurately fulfilled the prophecy of the long awaited apostolic MESSIAH of ISAIAH 11:2-3, we only need to read that Scripture: “And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:“ MINISTRY MAIN POINT:   Q. ARE WE BEING “ORGANIC” (“Bible Organic implies: devoid of any added human synthetic, errant mixture) as well as being COMPLIANT with God’s whole counsel, for example: Training Christian cross entire Body on Book of Ephesians (as in “relationship preserving”) COMMON LEADER DOCTRINE (Ephesians 4) CLICK TO INSPECT EPHESIANS 4 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+4&version=NKJV   READ APOSTOLIC EPHESIANS 4 and note that is is addressed to CHRIST’S (global, very individualistic, very multiracial) …entire “Ye Must Be Born Again” Christian True Community. SUBMITTED AS SELAH Again, the EPHESIANS 4 Pauline Apostle Commands involve ALL ABIDING RELATIONSHIPS, whenever he ministry commands for ALL (leaders, lay, future Ye Must Be Born Agains): EPHESIANS 4:1 “walk in meekness, lowliness in long-suffering” LEADER, committed LAY   EPHESIANS 4:4-6 ….which we submit is an enormous leader, doctrine main point, for “DEFRAGGING” even many ACCUSATIONS….doctrinal, theological debates, etc. LET US NOTE: How Paul mentions EPHESIANS 4:4-6 “Commonly Held Leader Doctrine” He writes (verse 4)” There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; (verse 5) One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (verse 6)One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” PERSPECTIVE: HOW MANY current “Five Fold Office Chiefs” truly understand, actually equip and train their followers on…and/or fully submit to abiding under Book of Ephesians 4 Common Leader Doctrine? Accurate, correct knowledge of “WHAT IS and IS NOT required by the First Church New Testament Writer Paul, as “required for being discerned as a BIBLE ORGANIC (blessed, imperfect yet true) “Ye “YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN “CHRIST FOLLOWER. SELAH SUBMITTED: TRUE OR FALSE?   MAJOR POINT: The entire Bible canon of the New Testament is actually “The First Church Apostles Doctrine” yet within the entire New Testament.. we note other common First Church teachings: MAIN EXAMPLE: there are the First Church apostles doctrines mentioned in HEBREWS 6:1-3 “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit”** We note that some of these (mentioned above) are omitted or ignored in many parts of Christ’s divided present global body. SUBMITTED FOR SELAH.       MAIN SELAH PREMISE: THEREFORE if we today discern, equip and submit to the BIBLE FACTS that there are “the FIRST TIER COMMON LEADER DOCTRINES but also the SECOND TIER (no less important, not less valuable, yet simply regarded as NOT held responsible by GOD to wield them for intentions of, as accusative divisive LEGALISM…. The Ministry Following is a SELAH not DOGMA: FIRST TIER COMMON DOCTRINE: Used to determine,help evaluate WHO is a “born again CHRISTIAN. SECOND TIER: “it is a test of each persons ongoing RELATIONSHIP (personally) with the Living LORD, and HE will nonlegalistically convict, hold each responsible, YET due to His love and mercy, and “He understands each of our weaknesses, “besetting sins”..then only THE Loving LORD will truly be able to DISCERN and JUDGE and LET OFF BY HIS MERCY and FORGIVENESS… and it must be well preached, taught, yet SECOND TIER DOCTRINE will be “God’s business and each and every human persons FULL OBEDIENCE, which one may thus regard as then reflecting each of their/our, COMMITMENT, CONSCIENCE. Second tier doctrine does not let anybody GET AWAY WITH LICIENTIOUSNESS but it is still purely individual RESPONSIBILITY and only GOD can tell who is reprobate, disobedient, even lasciviousness, deceptive.. “MUCH accusation might be avoided for much of the apostolic Phariseeism, “sin spying” and accuser gossip which divides, spoils RELATIONSHIPS among GROUPS, FELLOWSHIPS, FRIENDS, MINISTRY and FAMILY (meaning Ye Must Be Born Again Christians) appears to OFTEN get it’s roots in comparing LEGALISMS and having no training in 1) MYOB 2) Ephesians 4 COMMON DOCTRINE.” Taveau Creative Leadership FOR THE RECORD: what we submit you as a wise reader: FIRST TIER (Common Doctrine ) is as follows EPHESIANS 4:4-6 ” There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” SECOND TIER LEADER/MINISTRY GROUP (private, personal, apostolic ministry, church interpretation) (remember, God will hold them accountable..but WE are not to accuser judge them and/or PLAY THEIR GOD) Avoid legalism in this next list. NOTE: You or I do not ever want to be PC and weak. Yet, there we must avoid throwing legalistic, religious stones, accuser sin spying, other people’s, ministry, business minding, and AVOID resembling the Accuser (Remember: Read CHRIST in each one of his GOSPEL AREA WIDE, MINISTRY, RELATIONSHIPS!)   ASIDE: How to avoid ACCUSATIVE DIVISION when one completely disagrees concerning theology, Bible teaching, Common Doctrines, interpreting different Bible verses: I make the suggestion to abide in the ENDURING LOVE FRUIT of JAMES 3:17 “the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, peaceable, easily entreated, fully of mercy and good fruit, without partiality and without hypocrisy.”   REAL LIFE EXAMPLES OF SECOND TIER NON COMMON (PET, PREFERRED) but unadulterated DOCTRINES: Day of Worship Service Music styles, length thereof Ministry views on dress code ( dress up, dress way down, hair style preference, clean shaven, tattoos,piercings, colored hair, plastic surgery,jewelry, no women in slacks, many many others) Ministry views of male, female leader/family roles Political party affiliation Pre-Pan, Post Tribulation Rapture or Not Interracial marriage To Baptize in Father, Son, Holy Ghost or “in Jesus Name only” Ministry view on divorce, ministry divorce Hebrews 10:25 “fellowship with the saints and do not forsake it” (To go to a local church, to become an official card carrying member …or not) The two “From Such Turn Away” persons, ministries, sets of friends 2 Tim 3:1-5, 1 Tim 6:5 Whether to be BACK UNDER the OT Levitical Law in leader, ministry doctrines, practice,fellowship house ministry 14.House views regarding SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY, GOVERNMENT, ORDER, even GALATIANS 1:1-2 IF one is in 5 fold office ministry: Whether or not you choose to be “UNDER” “A PART OF” some well known high visibility minister (meaning; in order to be an authentic true Christian leader/office minister) TO Pray in tongues or not Achievement business based ministry personal style…. or servant leader Drink wine,beer, etc (NOBODY GET ADDICTED..that’s the WHOLE POINT) How far to go in move of the Holy Ghost or not Liturgy, hymns or praise choruses Meeting place: house, storefront, modern, traditional, 2-4 faith filled humans Fasting, eating shellfish, being a strict vegetarian,eating pork,etc What kind of TV, movies, video you watch; to have TV or no TV Homeschool or not Shop on Sunday26 Dating or marrying a far older or much younger ,(8, 15…even 20, 30 plus years) man or woman (from my Grandmother’s days) “Don’t ever play cards on Sunday” How many times to go to Starbucks each week….   As you see, the list is ENDLESS! AND MANY MANY MANY OTHERS..but this is the HOT BUTTONS which bring out the ACCUSER IN MANY FAMILY, FELLOWSHIP “Divine RELATIONSHIPS” FOR THEOLOGICAL, DOCTRINAL EVEN EXTREME DIFFERENCES, we want to submit that EACH SIDE chooses to maturely ROLE MODEL enduring overcoming, being JAMES 3:17 Spiritual Relationship Preserving TRUE FRUIT ABIDING JAMES 3:17 “The (any) wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, peaceable, easily entreated,full of mercy and good fruit, without partiality and without hypocrisy” IF all APOSTLES equip continually on this..it will help make JESUS HOUSES spiritually and emotionally SAFE and stop all that Accuser PHARISEEISM PEACEFUL FORMULA: CHRIST’S DIVERSE BRIDE= REV CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA, BROTHER /SISTERLY REAL LOVE= ABIDING IN SAFE RESPECTING, CROSS CULTURAL, CROSS COMMUNITY, CROSS GLOBAL abiding IN mutual respect, “mutual nonhiearchal submission in the FEAR OF THE LORD (Eph. 5:21) and hero role modeling JAMES 3:17… “PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR” More another time..
