Is Today's Church What God Intended?

     

 
  A Word from the Lord on Tuesday, September 12, 2006
      “The ways of the churches are not My ways. The ways of the churches are not the way of My Church. The ways of the churches are men’s ways, and not My ways. “Telling the people this is how you build My Church. You must tell them. This is how you build My Church, My Body, saith the Lord.” More >>
 


     The Covenant Church      

        
New Life for an Old Covenant
     An Online Narrative by Rev. Robert R. Hervey, MS, LPC
 
  Introduction:
       
This narrative was written to be food for thought and to open the reader’s eyes to the possibility that the scriptural references put forth in this narrative could be signs for this time as well as in the times they were recorded. 
            It is my opinion that the Universal Church; the “Covenant Church”; the “Body of Christ” was forced into virtual obscurity and the true church birthed with the Son of God lies fallow. The field that was sown at the cross and watered by the blood of those that followed is now covered with the debris from subsequent years of continued fragmentation of God’s word. Since its inception the true Church has moved from a united Spirit-led covenant entity to something that has become virtually unrecognizable. It sits as a beggar; ignored as we pass by on our way to the manicured church landscapes skirting our multitude of temples dedicated to the doctrines of man.
           It seems as though today’s organized churches have failed to convey the full truth presented in scripture. And denominations have become entities to be worshiped. Their divisive doctrines are so ingrained in the minds of the members that any attempt to impart knowledge of biblical truths will be ignored or refuted if that truth does not align with the decrees of the organization to which they belong.
           In my opinion, we who may be on the eve of the second coming of Jesus are observing many of the same legalistic behaviors that were exhibited during the time prior to the first coming. Many of the teachings (parables) of Jesus regarding the condition and future of the church of that day may also apply to the church of today. In addition, it is my opinion that the Covenant Church must be resurrected (reunited) in order for 1) this current age to come to its rightful conclusion, 2) the Bridegroom to return for His bride, and 3) the bride to be the bride.

The Covenant People


Isaac's Well:
Finding Rehoboth

An Online Narrative by Rev. Robert R. Hervey, MS, LPC

Isaac's Well refers a place where Abraham's son Isaac began to fulfill his destiny. He named this well Rehoboth (meaning "wide places") saying, "Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the
land".

Perhaps God has placed within each human soul a covenant destiny; a Rehoboth.
