Red Tape

"How little chance the Holy Ghost has nowadays. The churches and missionary societies have so bound Him in red tape that they practically ask Him to sit in a corner while they do the work themselves."

C.T. Studd

Although written many years ago, this saying is still a reflection of not only our mission societies, but our churches in general. We are so caught up in the qualifications of our personnel, the schedule for our services, the style of worship, and the order and methods in which we do things, do we really leave time for a genuine moving of the Spirit of God? How refreshing it would be to meet with fellow believers to worship without expectation of our comforts being met and our senses being pleased!
