“Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen” (Zechariah 1:20)

God gives us a picture of the way He dealt with the Jews which is instructive for us today. Many enemies of God have taken over individual churches and entire denominations, but God has empowered “craftsmen” to start faithful churches, but you must find them.

The Lord knows what’s needed for His church. If you’re saved, it was because He chose you “before the foundation of the world … according to the good pleasure of His will” (Ephesians 1:4-5). He leaves nothing to chance. He anoints ministers at just the right time “for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ … that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting” (Ephesians 4:12-14), but you must find them.

Don’t rest until you are part of a church that teaches and lives the Word of God.
“I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner - not even to eat with such a person. For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore ‘put away from yourselves the evil person’” (1 Corinthians 5:9-13).
