    In 1 Corinthians there was an atmosphere of chaos and so the apostle Paul writes a letter. And in that letter he reminds them of the focal point of what he taught them when he was there and that is, "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Is that all they need?

    The same holds true today, as it did in Ezekiel's day. While no leader is totally responsible for what other people do, they have a major responsibility to lead others in the right way be treating them right and pointing them towards Jesus.

    Ezekiel 34:18-19 Heavenly Father. I pray for your mercies on the spiritual leaders of our day who have gone astray.
