Truthful leadership...

Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with the important matters. - Albert Einstein

HOUSE OF TRANSFORMATION said...: I agree with you because there is a biblical principle that governs any true move of God. We find this principle at work again and again, in both Testaments. And it has proven true throughout centuries of church history. The principle is this: God will not begin a new thing in his church until he does away with the old. As Jesus put it, he won't put new wine into old wineskins.
This principle was first introduced at Shiloh. During the time of the Judges, God established a holy work in that city. Shiloh was where the Lord's sanctuary stood, the center of all religious activity in Israel. The name Shiloh itself means "that which is the Lord's." This speaks of things that represent God and reveal his nature and character. Shiloh was the place where God spoke to his people. It was also where Samuel heard God's voice, and where the Lord revealed his will to him. At that point, Shiloh was dead, beyond redeeming. There was no hope of reviving past glory, no hope of reformation. God was saying it is time for new Leadership to begin to emerge.
Arise and shine for the Light has come.
