The Pillar and Support of Truth.
“15 but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.” 1 Timothy 3:15
The church has an important role to play in the world and the public square. It the pillar and support of truth. It is God’s mouth piece to the world.
Its message is intended to define morality, expose sin and warn of God’s righteous judgement. The pulpits of the land are intended to be beacons of truth.
This is why Paul warned Timothy to “peach the Word” in season and out of season. (2 Timothy 3:16-4:5) The church is intended to be God’s the light of truth the world.
When the church becomes silent or liberal, the restraint of sin is gone. Society begins to drift. Spiritual darkness sweeps over the land.
Historical awakenings have always been rooted in the return to bold and courageous preaching of truth! At first, these preachers and prophets are resisted and persecuted, but once the seed is sown, it begins to take root and break up the fallow ground
Shortly, the Spirit of God uses the un compromised Word of God to bring conviction. (See John 16:7-13) This leads to confession and repentance. Over time, the moral values of a society begin to change in a God-ward direction.
As this shift gains momentum, many come to Christ and societal values begin to change. When the church abandons this role, moral darkness and decay sweeps over the land.
The health of any society will soon follow the truth boldly and consistently proclaimed from the pulpits of the land. When this voice is compromised, confused, watered down or silenced then darkness prevails.
The light must start in the pulpits but then be echoed by every born-again follower of Jesus Christ in the land. That’s when the church becomes the Pilar and Support of Truth.
This is the reason I do so many Freedom Quest Workshops for Pastors and Christian leaders around the world. Calling pastors to personal freedom from sin and bondage and to empower them boldly proclaim the Word of of God is the most direct path to restore churches to their calling to be the Pillar and Support of Truth across entire continents. It is starting to happen in several counties.
