The church had prayed 100 days for this meeting. Over 2000 delegates,
plus their families, and tens of thousands of visitors descended on San
Antonio for two weekends. Many will be coming just for a few days to meet
friends and family, some are staying for the whole experience of Holy Spirit
moving and speaking through the Church in session of representatives from
around the world.
I hear often people ask Why spend millions of dollars for such large
meetings? Would it not be more beneficial if all those who attend as
visitors and delegates would just send it all into mission field?
I must remind you that we are unique church a representative model,
where power and authority is vested in the people, and not in the few top
executives. There is a papal model where the top person, the pope has the
say, and the cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests are following orders of
the top-down hierarchy. That is not how our church operates. There is an
episcopal model, accepted by many protestant denominations, where there
is hierarchy of groups, but still a hierarchy, where the council of
episcopes/bishops has the final say. And then there is a different model,
where people moved by the Holy Spirit delegate authority, authorize few to
lead. Jesus alone has the power and authority, and he has given it to ALL
his followers, as we do His mission.
As I attended number of seminars, listened to 18 general session
speakers, we were all reminded that the power of hierarchy is parallel and
proportional to the neglect or ignorance of the people to exercise their power
and authority. 1st John 2:27 challenge all believers that we have received the
SAME anointing, those in full time ministry, and all believers who minister
within their secular employment.
Our pioneer, Ellen G. White wrote against allowing kingly powers to
develop in the church, where few powerful leaders make decisions for all. It
is during sessions like this one, where delegates, guests and visitors come
and pray, dialogue, make decisions that the Holy Spirit affirms or corrects the
direction of the church. In the world that is spinning out of control and
everything is out of the closet, the church must also shine, and not be
hidden in some closet. We must take more decided and distinct stand to
affirm Biblical perspective on family, marriage, our origins in Creation, and
our hope in the soon coming of the Lord Jesus. The world needs a clarion
call for order in a chaos, and be an immune system for the community
attacked by viruses of evil. And the cost its less than $1 per member, as
we celebrate almost 20 million Adventists world-wide.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to move the people, the living stones of the Body of
Christ.
your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
