A Bishop Should Be Blameless

A bishop should be blameless, not given over to filthy lucre. He must know how to rule his own household or how can he exercise authority in the church of God? Christ has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third pastor-teachers, for the edifying of each member of the body, fitly framed together as a habitation for the Holy Ghost to move freely through each member so as to grow up into the full stature of Christ. But now only a very small remnant of the holy seed remains, though scattered and battered, left bleeding and tattered. The priests stop and look in astonishment then cross over to the other side when they see there is nothing left to be desired of in the despised and rejected member of the little flock. They have come out of the Babylon whore of witchcrafts whose pastors are ministers of Satan transformed as righteous but inwardly they are ravenous wolves teaching whom they may devour, destroying unwary souls. Because they no longer want to retain knowledge of God, The Lord God has given them over to a reprobate mind with strong delusion that they should believe a lie and be damned to everlasting contempt where the wormwood doesn't die and the fire is not quenched. 

Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the Devil has come down upon you with great wrath, knowing he has but a short time before he is cast into the lake of fire. Jesus said, "I saw Satan as lightning fall from heaven."

The day of the LORD is near and hastens quickly. That day is day of thick clouds and gloominess. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon into blood. The might man shall cry bitterly and many shall run to the mountains and cry to the rocks to fall upon them. They shall seek death and not find it. Only the wrath of the Lamb whom they pierced in the person of Jesus Christ, who is returning in clouds of glory with ten thousands saints and holy angels to execute vengeance upon all the ungodly and their ungodly deeds. Even so, Come quickly, LORD JESUS!
