Back to the topic at hand…

When I read the bk of Job, many of us at times forget, that what most of his (3) friends said, were true, but they were instigated at the wrong person and for the wrong reason. I haven’t always agreed w/certain individuals, but I know theres a way to confront and disarm them, and cause them to look at there true intent, or should I say themselves, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I haven’t always agreed w/Pastor and we’ve spoken over our disagreements, he has his point, I have mine, none of us are always going to agree, truth be told. But I do know one thing, that he means well, yes we all can be at times alittle over zealous, once again truth be told. One cannot help another rise up, when you submit to that, which you claim them to be acting like. I’m reminded of the scripture in Hebrews, “And let us provoke each other unto love, and good works”, yes there are things we need to get w/each other about, but there is a way to go about it.

Now pastor posted your comment, which means he has nothing to hide or be alarmed about, he has already disarmed you. I can only say to pastor, to feel not the need to defend himself, for when we get caught up in the defending process, all types of other things arise, I will simply say allow your devotion and love for the Lord to shine through. Christ never defended himself, he simply said, when being questioned by the sanhedrin was, “Qestion others, they know what I’ve said.” And friend GiantSlayer, and I mean that w/true intent, not mockingly, if you ever consider a person an enemy, or show them there error, never fight them upon ground of there choosing, fight them upon ground of your own choosing. The intent should always be the betterment of the brother/brethren, never venting displeasures, because there going to always be.

Paul said he was the cheif sinner and the least of the apostles because he persecuted the church, but God used him greater than all the other apostles. However he studied to show himself approved before going into his ministry.

We have all come from out of sin. No claim has been made that this man cannot be a leader but that he shouldnt come straight out of prison and lead Gods people, thats simpe wisdom and you have no scripture to the contrary. Its a simple as that. He is forgiven and we thank God for that but he should prove himself as faithful over time.

I am so ashamed!
