We know that the CGGC is in significant spiritual and numerical decline and has been spiritually declining for 80 years and declining in number for 50 years.
And the truth is that people in its positions of power and authority, especially in the east, are still attempting to reverse the trend by perfecting the old ways that created the disaster in the first place.
So, here is a useful way to understand what will take place at ERC sessions this week:
Staff members and Commission leaders will stand up and smile and describe with unflagging joy and optimism, the latest techniques they are using to repair the old wineskin. They will praise God with their certainty that these new techniques will finally work.
They will also describe the new grape hybrids which, they really do know, will become tasty wine without bursting the wineskin--again.
Doesn't anyone remember that you can't make new wine in an old wineskin?
It seems clear to me that the object of their adoration is the wineskin, not the Lord.
