In this passage, we are commanded to obey and submit to our church leaders. This topic can be filled with a lot of emotions and has been mis-handled and abused over the centuries, however, there is no getting around that this is a command, and so we will seek to redeem it together by understanding its true context. We are not called to build up our kingdoms on earth, but we are called to meet Christ “outside the camp” and that’s where our leaders should be leading us.
