God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The truth is that, though we were justified by faith alone, the faith that justifies is never alone [it always produces fruit, 'good works,'…a transformed life].
Time heals things. We’ve heard that many times. And occasionally it is true that people’s emotions die down and they lose the heart to disagree or fight. But to depend on time alone in the body of Christ to mend church problems is a very dangerous path. More often than not the problems only fester, become more serious, and then explode.
