<font size="3">In 1948 God visited North Battleford, Saskatchewan with
a number of Restoration Revival Principles, and brought together 12
of these in an Embryonic state. George R. Hawtin taught on the nature
of the 5-fold, majoring on the office of the apostle. He pointed out
repeatedly that God sees the office of the apostle and prophet
functioning together in the foundation for His church. The Aorist
tense of the Greek in Ephesians 4:11 and 1 Corinthians 12:28
conclusively settles that in God's thinking, these 2 offices should
continue to function with the other 3 - throughout the entire church
age.</font></p>

importance of this teaching can be fully realized as we consider

Century, we have witnessed the tragedy of fallen leaders, even to
this year in Lakeland, Florida. Leaders who are young and
inexperienced need to be supported in prayer, intercession and
counsel, for they become targets of the enemy. And when one falls,
Paul in Galatians gives exceedingly wise counsel concerning their
restoration.</span></span></span></font></p>

<font size="3">Just this day (August 22, 2008) a very wise and humble
article has come from Dutch Sheets emphasizing the true role of the
church in such matters. Thank God for his honesty, humility and
obedience in bringing forth this confession of repentance - much as
Daniel did in Daniel 9.</font></p>
