Bad Timing?
Well, with the sale of the adjacent property and a few other things going on in church. Our church unity is really on the griller and Satan is working at our hot buttons. With the cantata coming on, I guess its not bad timing, but God’s timing. Tests that will make or break us. If we begin to point fingers and talk behind each others backs, we will very well not need the property as we will just dwindle in numbers and die away OR.. we will just have another church split over what? a silly property and differing opinions on how to acquire our bigger space? Well, doesn’t seem worth it.
One other thing about grace I learned today.. that after I commented about whether you’ve prayed for someone about something that you feel is wrong in his life before saying that person, I think I’ve really missed that out in so many of my judgements. In particular about things that disqualify people from service. Do you just sit in your foxhole and shoot at the person and try to take him down from his post? or do you crawl out into the cross fire, risking being shot by both sides (wah.. this is a good analogy *pats my own back*) and evacuate him to the medics and see how you can HELP him qualify for that post and be blameless to all?
Lastly, sometimes in a body, there exists sickness, injury and gangerene that cannot be remedied. In that case, amputation is usually prescribed to save the body. That is portrayed in Mathew 18:15-19 where believers are told to excommunicate blatant sinners (this is a nice article by a good bible believing church I think). Of course, here is where the body analogy fails. I know its possible to reattach limbs.. but.. you know what I mean. When someone cleans up his act, you welcome him back into the body.
Thats all for now I guess. Got so much more on my mind but i have to sleep… Getting up super early to wakeboard with yx! =>
