(3)!LEADERSHIP!FAILURE!
The! Charismatic! movement! claims! to! be! an! endEtime!Pentecost! revival.! Yet,! a!
common! feature! of! those! who! head! up! this! movement! is! the! flagrant! public!
sins! of! the! leaders! and! members.! Adultery,! divorce,! theft,! and! alcoholism! etc.!
are!common!even!amongst!the!leadership.!Let!me!give!a!few!examples!of!this.!!
In! 1989! Jim! Bakker,! a! leading! Pentecostal! TV! presenter! went! to! prison! for!

of! the! Holy! Spirit! but! which! has! actually! been! a! stronghold! of!
extremism! and! heresy! since! its! inception! at! the! turn! of! the! 20th!
century.! Just! since! 2000,! three! high! profile! PentecostalECharismatic!

Juanita! Bynum,! Thomas! Weeks,! Randy! and! Paula! White,! and! Todd!

!
In! August! 2007,! two! leading! charismatics,! Randy! and! Paula! White! who! were!

!
That! is! not! a! biblical! reason! for! divorce.! Christ! gave! only! one!

ministries! of! the! church.! It! is,! finally,! a! task! I! have! to!
perform,! for! which! I! will! be! judged! by! some! as! too!
intolerant! and! highEhanded.! (“The! Pain! of! a! Pastor’s!
Heart,”!Bible$Witness!MayEJune!2006)!
!
WHAT!SAITH!THE!BIBLE?!
!
(1)! Church! leaders,! especially! elders! and! pastors,! are! required! to!
maintain! the! very! highest! standards! of! integrity! in! their! family,!
private,! work,! and! church! lives! (1! Tim.! 3;! Titus! 2).! These! are! God’s!
standards!and!no!man!has!the!right!to!lower!them.!The!Apostle!Peter!
warns!that!they!are!“ensamples$to$the$flock”!(1!Peter!5:3).!Paul!makes!
clear!to!a!pastor!called!Timothy,!“Let$no$man$despise$thy$youth;$but$be$
thou$an$example$of$the$believers,$in$word,$in$conversation,$in$charity,$in$
spirit,$in$faith,$in$purity.”!(1!Tim.!4:12)!Peter!warns!of!“false!prophets”!
whose!“pernicious$ways”!stumbles!others,!“by$reason$of$whom$the$way$
of$truth$shall$be$evil$spoken$of”!(2!Peter!2:1E2).!
!
The! pastor! must! actively!uphold!God’s! standards! knowing!that!
if!he!fails!to!do!so,!God!will!judge!him,!“Obey$them$that$have$the$
rule$ over$ you,$ and$ submit$ yourselves:$ for$ they$ watch$ for$ your$
souls,$ as$ they$ that$ must$ give$ account”! (Heb! 13:17;! cf.! 1! Tim.!
5:21).!The!same!judgment!is!true!for!a!ruling!elder!who!fails!to!
join!with!the!pastor!in!holding!members!accountable.!Rev!Quek!
Suan!Yew!sets!forth!the!duty!of!elders,!
!
Their! roles! or! duties! include! assisting! the! pastors.!
They! do! not! take! over! the! role! of! the! pastors.! Some!
churches,! which! control! the! pastors! and! turn! them!
into! “gophers”,! have! to! answer! to! God! one! day.! They!
will!be!judged!by!God.!!
!
(2)! When! a! pastor! or! an!elder!sins!he! is! to! be!disciplined! publicly!to!
maintain! this!high!standard! of!example,! “Them$that$sin$rebuke$before$
all,$ that$ others$ also$ may$ fear”! (1! Tim.! 5:20).! Their! sin! should! not! be!
covered! up! nor!should!the! individual!be! allowed! to!move!to! another!
church! to! hold! office! there.! All! that! does! is! take! the! pernicious!
example!of!that!individual!and!diminish!the!standard!of!God’s!Word!in!
the! next! congregation.! Disqualification! from! holding! office! must! be!
universal! throughout! God’s! church! as! the! standards! are! the! same!
throughout.!!!
!
(3)! The! word! “pastor”! itself! is! derived! from! the! Latin! word! which!
means! “shepherd”! (cf.! Jer.! 17:16).! One! of! the! shepherding! roles! is! to!
confront!sin!in!a!member!whether!the!person!wants!to!hear!it!or!not.!
They! are! to! go! after! the! sheep! when! they! stray! from! the! flock! into!
dangerous!territory!in!disobeying!the!teaching!of!God’s!word.!That!is!
for!the!good!of!the!sheep!and!the!honour!of!Christ!the!Good!Shepherd.!
Paul! commands! another! pastor,! “speak$thou$ the$things$which$become$
sound$ doctrine”! and$ “These$ things$ speak,$ and$ exhort,$ and$ rebuke$ with$
all$ authority.$ Let$ no$ man$ despise$ thee”! (Titus! 2:1,! 15).! When! any!
member! disregards! the! teaching! of! God’s! word! they! are! to! be! held!
accountable! by! the! pastor! who! is! ordained! and! charged! by! God! to!
shepherd! the! flock.! There! should! be! no! cover! up! merely! because! of!
age,! status,! wealth,! education! etc.! Words! like! “love”! should! not! be!
misused! to! avoid! dealing! with! the! sin,! as! true! biblical! love! for! that!
person,! “rejoiceth$ not$ in$ iniquity”! (1! Cor.! 13:6).! The! pastor! must! do!
this!even!if!no!one!else!will!do!so!for!the!church!will!not!pastor!itself.!
He!must!be!his!brother’s!keeper.!Rev!Quek!Suan!Yew!makes!clear!this!
duty!is!nonEnegotiable,!
!
If! need! be,! the! pastor! will! rebuke! and! exhort! from! God’s!
Word!to!point!the!flock!back! to! Christ! when! they! go! astray.!
His! duty! is! to! redirect! them! back! to! the! path! of!
righteousness.! He! does! not! point! people! to! himself.! He!
directs! them! to! God’s! perfect! Word! and! exalts! Christ.!
(“Offices! of! Pastors,! Elders,! and! Deacons,”! Bible$ Witness!
SeptEOct!2007)!
!
Now,! this! is! not! the! most! pleasant! task! of! a! pastor.! He! must! accept,!
like!Paul,! that! confronting! sin! will!be! misunderstood,!“Am$I$therefore$
become$ your$ enemy,$ because$ I$ tell$ you$ the$ truth?”! (Gal.! 4:16! cf.! Prov.!
9:7).! Lecturer! in! Pastoral! Theology! at! FEBC,! Rev! Das! Koshy! gives! us!
an!insight!into!the!cost!in!BibleEPresbyterian!churches,!
!
As! a! pastor,! I! am! also! thrown! into! a! terrible! dilemma! by!
those! who! linger! in! sin.! If!I!preach! against! a! sin,! those!who!
unrepentantly! engage! in! such! a! sin! accuse! me! of! publicly!
harassing! them,! even! though! I! do! not! mention! their! names.!
Even! some! of! those! who! are! close! to! them,! friends! and!
relatives,! feel!that!I! should!not!preach! against!such!a! sin,!at!
least!for!the!time!being!!When!I!show!my!loving!concern!for!
their! spiritual! welfare,! they! accuse! me! of! trying! to! track!
them! and! pressurise! them.! Their! attitude! and! comments!
about!my!enquiry,!correction!or!advice!make!me!look!like!a!
busybody.!But!am!I!not!supposed!to!care?!If!I!leave!them!to!
their! own! lives! of! sin! and! backsliding,! they! will! say! I! never!
cared!for!them.!My!misery,!because!of!those!who!stubbornly!
sin,! does! not! end! here.! I! cannot! allow! them! to! continue! in!
!
!
The!pastor!and!elder!are!to!look!beyond!man!and!see!the!great!
and!sovereign!God!standing!over!the!church!(cf.!1!Tim.!5:21).!In!
that! fear,! they! are! to! exercise! their! solemn! duties! without! fear!
or!favour.!!
!
(4)! Each! member! must! submit! to! their! pastor! and/or! ruling!
elder!when!he!is!maintaining!the!standards!of!the!Word!of!God,!
“Remember$them$which$have$the$rule$over$you,$who$have$spoken$
unto$you$the$word$of$God:$whose$faith$follow,$considering$the$end$
of$their$conversation”! (Heb! 13:7).! Their! attitude! should! be! one!
that! is! “peaceable,$ gentle,$ and$ easy$to$ be$ intreated”! rather! than!
“bitter$ envying$ and$ strife$in$your$ hearts”! (James! 3:14E15).! They!
must! not! evade! or! thwart! the! biblical! authority! over! them! by!
using! subtle! and! divisive! strategies.! Christ! is! the! Head! of! the!
Church! and! He! sovereignly! calls,! gifts,! and! appoints! leaders.!
Abuses! of!pastoral!authority! by!charismatics! do! not! negate!the!
fact! that! the! Bible! tells! us! that! God! has! given! authority! to!
pastors! and! elders! and! that! the! Bible! demands! that! we! are! to!
submit!to!such!GodEcalled!men.!
!
Rebelliousness! against! GodEordained! offices! of! pastors! and!
elders! is! not! a! virtue! in! the! Scriptures.! The! flesh! hates!
confrontation! of! sin.! From! the! beginning! we! see! man! evading!
and!then!even!blaming! the!One!investigating!his!sin!(Gen!3:12;!
cf.!1!Kings!18:17;!22:8).!Lawlessness!is!increasing!in!the!church!
today.!When!any!member!openly!disrespects!and!rebels!against!
church! authority! they! do! so! against! God,! as! He! sets! up! these!
positions.! They! may! appear! to! get! away! with! it! for! a! time,! but!
inevitably! they! will! bring! the! judgment! of! God.! They! will! reap!
what! they! have! sown! (cf.! Gal.! 6:7E8).! This! reaping! of! God’s!
chastisement!can!take!a!multitude!of!forms!in!this!life!and!in!the!
next! for! “it$ is$ a$ fearful$ thing$ to$ fall$ into$ the$ hands$ of$ the$ living$
God”!(Heb.!10:31).!
!
(5)!The!authority!of!church!leaders!is!a!delegated!authority.!God!
is! the! ultimate! authority.! Members! have! a! right! and! a! duty! to!
disobey! the! leadership! of! a! pastor! or! an! elder! when! he!
contradicts! the! ultimate! authority! of! the! Word! of! God! (Acts!
5:29).!However,!they!must!have!absolute!biblical!assurance!that!
this! is! so.! It! must! not! be! on! a! feeling! or! the! opinion! of! others.!
When! a! member! believes! a! pastor! or!an! elder! has! violated! the!
Scripture,! they! are! required! to! follow! the! biblically! prescribed!
order!(Matt.!18:15E20!and!1!Tim.!5:19).!They!should!not!join!in!
a!group!to!undermine,!grumble!against!or!confront!that!person!
until!that! process!has!been!carefully!followed.!This!is!the!same!
for!dealing!with!any!member!who!has!wronged!you.!Disobeying!
God’s! order! will! not! attract! God’s! blessing.! It! is! God’s! church!
and! He! must! rule! in! every! area.! If! any! person! ignores! this!
pattern,! then! you! can! be! sure! that! God! is! not! leading! them! in!
their! action.! For! God! cannot! contradict! His! perfect! revealed!
word.!!

Title:!The!Escape!to!Hong!Kong!
Author:!Audrey!Constant!
Publisher:!Christian!Focus!Publications!(1994)!
!
This book is about a Vietnamese refugee named Trang who
fled to Hong Kong by boat with his sister Mimi and his friend
Banh, to escape persecution at home.
They were rescued by a fisherman but had to work hard for
him. Mimi fell very sick from the trials at sea and was sent
to the hospital. By the time, Trang managed to visit Mimi at
the hospital, she was already gone!
Trang searched everywhere for Mimi. A gangster named Lee
Tong volunteered to help Trang locate Mimi for a big sum of
money. Trang borrowed money from Banh who by then had
become rich from delivering drugs (he became a drug addict
himself).Trang gave the money to Lee Tong who revealed that
Mimi had sold herself to him and was actually working for
him in a bar. Trang went to the bar to find Mimi but was
badly beaten up by Lee Tong.
My!dear!readers,!

1. End!Time!World!History!unfolding!
!
Our!interest!is!in!the!history!of!the! end! time! –! the!time!in!which!
we! live.! ! God! revealed! this! fascinating! period! to! Daniel! –! whom!
God!called! as! “greatly$beloved”!(Dan! 9:23).!! Daniel!was!privileged!
to!see!the!unfolding!of!events!spanning!the!time!in!which!we!live!–!
in!which!we!naturally!have!a!special!interest.!
!
What!did!God!reveal!to!Daniel?!!We!quote:!
!
“After$ this$ I$ saw$ in$ the$ night$ visions,$ and$ behold$ a$ fourth$
beast,$dreadful$and$terrible,$and$strong$exceedingly;$and$it$
had$great$iron$teeth:$it$devoured$and$brake$in$pieces,$and$
stamped$ the$residue$ with$the$feet$of$ it:$and$it$was$diverse$
from$ all$ the$ beasts$ that$ were$ before$ it;$ and$ it$ had$ ten$
horns.”!(Dan!7:7)!
!
This! verse! (Dan! 7:7)! describes! the! rise! of! the! fourth! “World$
Empire”!–!the!Roman!Empire,!to!military!superiority.!
!
Our! special! interest! is! in! the! last! stage! of! this! “World$ Power”!
described!in!Daniel!7:8!and!19E20:!
!
“I$ considered$ the$ horns,$ and,$ behold,$ there$ came$ up$ among$
them$another$ little$ horn,$ before$whom$there$ were$three$of$ the$
first$ horns$ plucked$ up$ by$ the$ roots:$ and,$ behold,$ in$ this$ horn$
were$ eyes$ like$ the$ eyes$ of$ man,$ and$ a$ mouth$ speaking$ great$
things$…$Then$I$would$know$the$truth$of$the$fourth$beast,$which$
was$diverse$from$all$the$others,$exceeding$dreadful,$whose$teeth$
were$ of$ iron,$ and$ his$ nails$ of$ brass;$ which$ devoured,$ brake$ in$
pieces,$ and$ stamped$ the$ residue$ with$ his$ feet;$ And$ of$ the$ ten$
horns$ that$ were$ in$ his$ head,$ and$ of$ the$ other$ which$ came$ up,$
and$ before$ whom$ three$ fell;$ even$ of$ that$ horn$ that$ had$ eyes,$
and$a$mouth$that$spake$very$great$things,$whose$look$was$more$
stout$than$his$fellows.”!(Dan!7:8,!19E20)!
A man named Ah Cheng saved Trang and brought him to his
church. There, Ah Cheng brought food to him and nursed him
back to health. Ah Cheng also shared the gospel with Trang.
Trang became a Christian but his faith was weak. Instead of
trusting in God, he tried to use his own strength to rescue
Mimi. He became a runner for a drug dealer to raise money
to redeem Mimi. However, Ah Cheng told him to trust in the
Lord and that his way was against God. Ah Cheng prayed
with Trang and he finally decided to put his trust in the Lord
to fight Lee Tong and rescue Mimi.
!
2.
The!End!Time!“World!Power”!
!
Trang returned all the money to the drug dealer before going
to look for Lee Tong. By God’s grace, when Lee Tong realised
that Trang was a Christian, he actually allowed Trang to
take Mimi away without any payment. Trang then brought
Mimi to the Women’s hostel where Christian ladies counseled
her and helped her recover from her distress. Trang was very
thankful to God and prayed for Banh and Mimi to come and
believe in Jesus just like him.
From this book, I learnt that the
world is a dangerous place with a
lot of sinful people. Therefore, we
must be careful not to be tempted
and fall into sin. I want to be like
Ah Cheng as he shares God’s word
and bring people to Christ. He gives
Godly advice and helps other people
in need. I feel very encouraged by
Trang as he trusted God. Have you
put your trust in the Lord?!

From!the!passages!of!Daniel’s!vision!we!may!draw!a!picture!of!the!
final! “World$ Power”! –! one! Power! which! will! dominate! the! world!
stage.!!We!shall!piece!together!the!clues!in!these!several!verses,!to!
reveal! the! identity! of! the! one! dominant! “World$ Power,”! arising!
from!the!“fourth$beast.”!!!
!
History! clearly! identifies! the! “fourth$ beast”! as! “Rome.”! ! This!
identification!is!beyond!dispute:!!it!began!with!the!dynasty! of!the!
Caesars,! about! 100! BC,! and! continues! as! a! Roman! power!
dominating!the!world!stage!to!this!day.!
!
Our! particular! interest! is! in! the! “little$ horn”$of! Daniel! 7:8,! the!
power!which!presently!dominates!the!world.!
!
Question:!!What!is!this!“little$horn”?!
!
Clearly,! and! beyond! any! shadow! of! doubt,! the!“little$horn”! points!
to!the!“United$States$of$America”!–!the!youngest!among!the!“World$
Powers”! which! has! undisputed! dominance! over! the! entire! world!
since! its! rise! on! the! world! stage! following! the! two! World! Wars!
