“God’s Word tells us it’s our job as Gospel ministers to bring those nonbelievers into reconciliation with their creator, but how effective will those efforts to do so be if we are not first reconciled unto each other?” he said. To effectually compel the lost to come to the wedding, he said take clear and concise steps to affect forgiveness one of another, whether that comes in the form of reconciling former or current staff or former attendees, adherents, members or any combination thereof. “The enemy won’t rebuke sheep for ‘winning’ their kind, nor will the good shepherd praise us for doing so.” “As we come closer than ever to the rapture of his church, we must be about our father’s business,” Linz said.
He said a reason to engage with ministry is because when the roots of bondage and their consequences are destroyed, God’s holy spirit can and will work unfettered to smash every challenge that has heretofore held churches back from glorifying God to the degree he deserves. Linz said CRM reaches out to the community and endeavors to hold one or more meetings over the course of a week, to stand beside pastors and those they work with and to help further equip their sheep for the ministry’s work. Linz said Satan has been a consummate mathematician from the start, readily dividing and subtracting wherever he goes, and Christ’s bride (with the spirit’s help) should be bringing about multiplication and addition in his stead.
He said he’s blessed with a Godly wife, a daughter who never ceases to bless him and two dogs that think more of him than they should. In February 2006, he became credentialed as a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God denomination and was ordained through Faith Christian Fellowship International in the summer of 2014. Linz came to a personal relationship with the Lord in April 1984. Les Linz is founder of County Reconciliation Ministries and serves as a volunteer jail and hospice chaplain as well as volunteer chaplain to a 12-step recovery program as a liaison between the group and local ministerial association. A Seymour pastor has started a ministry in an effort to mend the brokenness of the church.
