When King Saul was seeking the lives of David and his men, they would sometimes hide in caves. Some of the most beautiful of the psalms were composed in those caves.
Once, King Saul unwittingly went alone into a cave where David and his men were hiding. David forbade them to harm the king because he was the LORD’s anointed. (1 Samuel 24)
If your congregation is without a shepherd or under a false shepherd, or if you are without a home congregation, you can follow David’s model. Organize a small group to meet in a home, not for the purpose of denigrating a false shepherd, but for the purpose of praising God. Who knows what fruit will be borne?–JW
