ok here is my deal yall..i know that this is a church we are in and i know that the church is supposed to be more than a christian club that makes people feel like they belong..last time i checked it was...correct me if i am wrong.
i am a very sensitive and observant person..and when sin is in the camp i refuse to be quiet about it..maybe i am wrong but i feel that some others would wish to overlook that and it just bothers me for i am tryin to serve GOD..i was gonna save this for sunday but i figured i'd talk about it now...and i am grieved as i am sure others are...when sin or a brother or sister is allowed to just live whatever way they please to because its "their life"..the minute you gave your life to jesus..and chose to be a part of the circle known as the brethren in church...YOU LOST YOUR LIFE!
it now belongs to GOD and you are accountable to the brethren...none of this,"Its my life..sorry if you dont agree with it." business..its not about you..
i was just wantin to know if anyone here is even feeling what i am tryin to accomplish by doin this...there are things that can be overlooked..yes granted that..i can overlook a brother havin a beer or smokin..but when he is in a compromising situation that becomes a stumbling block and is grieving my spirit than something must be done about it..
somebody please tell me i am not alone on this one..and even if i am..i will not step down if i have to be the lone ranger and have no one by my side...so be it..i will stand up for what is right..he who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
