    This passage demonstrates the principle of the church in the church. That is, there are only a few (remnant) who are grateful enough to show it. Some people call this the pareto principle - 20% or less do 80% or more of all ministry.

    Many of us are so desperate to feel significant that we have a hard time with authority at any level. If we found our significance in the Lord, we would be less tempted to fault others for our woes.

    Undermining Authority: The Self-Importance Factor (Numbers 12) 1. Many Americans think they can run our country better than our elected officials. They may or may not be correct.

    Hope combined with faith increases the endurance level needed to produce the desired change or outcome. Anything less leads to defeat and mediocrity and God hasn’t called any of His Children to live a mediocre life.

    Great endurance, produces great reward!

    Saints we are seeing an ever growing shift in spiritual focus in our world, one that is off the Church and on to Jerusalem. In the eyes of the world “The Church” is becoming less relevant and Jerusalem is becoming more and more relevant.

    It is not that belonging to the visible community of God’s people is unimportant. It is. But salvation is not won by any external associations. When we depend on such things, we become less than what God wants us to be.
