Interesting; God's call is to the 'curious' ones. "And Moses turned aside to see..." (Exod. 3:4). " 'Master, where are You staying?' 'Come and see' " (John 1:38,39).
At one point I myself heard of the 'saints' in the 'local churches', and I turned aside to see. This prompted a lengthy, for me anyway, sojourn there. But eventually I was curious to see what was happening with the rest of the christian flock so I continued my journey.
Now, the 'stay-put' folks might say I was enticed by the serpent, as Eve was, to look away toward forbidden fruit. They might think that 'curiosity' is a sin, and prelude to the falling away. In one sense, they are right. My curiosity about what I am doing here on this planet has been satisfied. Jesus Christ is the answer. There is none other for me. Jesus satisfies me completely. He is the Chosen One from God. There is no other, and as a christian,
by definition, I must say there can be no other for me.
But where my Master may lead, while I yet remain on the earth, remains a mystery, and I must continue to exercise myself to hear His voice. I believe the flock has a mysterious and hidden journey, and over time it has become harder to submit myself to those with an "edifice complex", who strive to build museums to the faith. I cannot judge another's servant, but at the same time it seems more profitable to me to hear the still, small inner voice, and continue the journey.
Peace and blessings to you as you continue forward.
