He'll make a new covenant with them, a covenant that's written in their hearts, a covenant that's sealed by the blood of God's only Son, Jesus Christ. And so the church is born. Here we are with God's Spirit to lead us. No, we continue to fail. God continues to remake us.
Churches rise and fall.
Christian leaders fail and God removes them from leadership. I guess the classic example of this is the enormous upheaval in the Church during the reformation, when God turned the Church upside down in order to bring about renewal. The Church still needs to be renewed. We're constantly in need of reformation. You see it's so easy to turn aside from following God.
