Healing the Pathology in the Local Churches

The Apostle Paul was spiritually astute and aware.  He was a man filled with the Spirit of God.  He knew first hand the Cost of Discipleship.  He knew that to follow Jesus meant death to the Ego!  He knew that the Ego must be crucified if one was to follow Jesus.  There is no other option available to anyone who desires to follow Jesus.  We cannot follow Jesus on our own terms.  Pathology the local churches has taken away its power to follow Jesus.
