We were taking everyone with us. But then I saw a picture ofwhat it is like now, and although we were arm in arm, therewas a struggle going on. People were running forward in pridewhile others were shrinking back out of insecurity. ere wasvery little movement because of disunity. I think that meanswe’ve got to become strong people so that we can stand strongtogether. God says he will bless us, and when God says“blessing” it’s an out-of-control blessing, but that only comeswhen we are bound together.is is a vision of her own heart, because it is contrary tothe Scriptures. e New Testament nowhere says that God’sblessing is out of control or that it only comes whenprofessing Christians are “bound together.” To the contrary,the Bible says God’s blessing is always under control, alwaysorderly, never confused. “For God is not the author ofconfusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints” (1Cor. 14:33). “Let all things be done decently and in order” (1Cor. 14:39). Paul instructed Timothy to allow “no otherdoctrine” (1 Tim. 1:3). at is an extremely “narrow” andvery strict approach to doctrinal purity, but it is the Word ofGod and we are to follow it until Christ returns.is strict biblical attitude about doctrine is 180 degreescontrary to the philosophy of the movers and shakers of thecontemporary praise movement. ey teach that the HolySpirit cannot be “put in a box,” meaning we cannot be surehow He will act and that He might create disorder andconfusion. ey teach, in practice, that doctrine is lessimportant than unity. ey teach that women can be leaders.ese things are in open and direct rebellion to God’s Word.Zschech participated in Harvest ’03 in Newcastle, NSW.e ecumenical rock concert, which featured U.S.-basedevangelist Greg Laurie of Harvest Ministries, broughttogether a hodgepodge of churches, including Presbyterian,Assemblies of God, Anglican, Seventh-day Adventist, Churchof Christ, and Roman Catholic (“Hunter Harvest -- RockEvangelism,” http://members.ozemail.com.au/~rseaborn/423
