Network test
It is a TEST!
Abraham
Abraham created a network of people bound by mutual care through his living altars of earth and stone.
Moses
Moses united a stiff necked people with a network of small congregations of families bound together by a system of social welfare maintained by freewill offerings organized from the bottom up through the called out ministers who only had the power to serve the needs of the people and tend to the weightier matters.
The Early Church
The early Church also formed a network through the living stones of Christ, appointed by Him, bound by love for one another, again in a hostile world, providing bread and the daily ministration from house to house in "Pure religion". They too gathered in groups of 10 bound by love in service to God by serving one another in faith, hope and charity in "the perfect law of liberty".
The Living Network
The Living Network is your opportunity to create such a network of people. It is up to the individual to seek out his or her place in a network bound by the love of Christ. The love and blood of Christ is seen in our love for one another. If the fruit of that love is not manifested in our deeds then our faith in Christ is a lie.
A Chance
Everyone is given a chance to join the Living Network as a virtual member of an email group. There you can ask questions, meet others, learn more about the ways of Christ and the early Church, but you are not a part of a Living Network until you become a part of a viable congregation of recorded Elders (CORE).
You can get help moving in that direction from Ministers of Record or Personal Contact Ministers.
Purpose of the Early Church
The early Church of the first century in Europe and Asia and the early Churches in America provided all the social welfare of the people. The first century Church was not denominational. They were not bound by the doctrines of men but by the love of Christ for one another.
The early church was bound by faith which is trust. Faith in His way is trust in charity rather than the Benefactors of the world. The email groups are a test to help you develop the trust to become a viable Church established by the Spirit of Christ dwelling in you. In the kingdom of God you not only care about your local congregation but you care about all the other congregations equally.
Without that "kingdom love" taught by Christ we will remain a scattered flock and dry bones. We must strive to become the Corban of Christ.
This is a test
This Network is a test of your resolve to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness by coming together and manifesting His love in you by caring for others.
Being on an email group is not coming together.
People who do not nurture the living bonds of love in a viable network of Congregations will be dusted off until they can show the love of Christ for others.
In the kingdom of God each Elder is a leader and each Minister is a servant.
To Clarify
No one will be removed from the Google group Network if they do not choose a viable Personal Contact Ministers.
But they will be missing out an an opportunity.
There is a purpose for the network
Personal Contact Ministers must do the job or they will be removed from the PCM list. There are tips for being a good PCM.
If we did not remove from our testimony those unable or unwilling to do the job we would be doing a disservice to people seeking help.
When a PCM is removed the people who chose them will be removed from the Living Network Newsletter and data base too if they do not pick someone who is an acting PCM.
They will still be on the Google Network groups.
The Real Living Network
The real living network is the Congregations of Recorded Elders CORE.
People who do not gather with a congregation of record do not get reports from their Ministers of Record.
Ministers of Record get extra information and attention just like Jesus did for the apostles.
- Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
That is just they way it works.
If you do not go to the game you do not get to see the plays.
