In the multitude of ministries, there’s more safety than if we try to walk independently or think our understanding is superior to anyone else’s. We may get something wrong. However, if we belong to a local assembly that follows the order of Scripture, those set into authority according to the pattern of Scripture can help us. A body of multiple elders, when each one is in submission to all the others, is safer than a chief elder or pastor who runs the show. If we walk in submission, those who God has set can correct us if we’re wrong. Someone may wonder how we determine which local assembly God wants us to be in. God must reveal that to us. We go where He sends us.
