Why does the church always seem in ruin?

The answer is simple - overassuming!

Men step where they do not belong. Instead of seeking the dividing of spirit, soul and body, emotion gets stirred inordinately to such a degree false tongues comes in and other antics.

The mind suffers mental gymnastics which creates errors, and overassuming types in the Scriptures.

People stop reading the Bible for their spirit, and do so many things in the name of God, it is hard to believe they are doing God's will.

And in the church itself, man overassumed how to fellowship, dividing by doctrines and men, even national boundaries or by independent congregations. I can hardly stand it.

What is this Laodicean overassuming "differing opinions" caused by?

Lack of humility; that is a fruit of the Spirit which flows from the Spirit applying the cross to our lives.

If I had to say the underlying of lack of humility is caused by people taking their eye of the cross.

Consequently, Biblical locality has been utterly forgotten by the church. And no one cares to do anything about it. None!

I wonder what God is going to do with church having forsaken Biblical locality?
