i'm not a "group-y". regarding church, that is. i don't strive to be a member of the methodist clan, the baptist clan, the pentocostal clan, etc. i just want to be a jesus-girl...and don't really give a rip about the rest. because of that, i actually enjoy what god is doing in the church worldwide...because it's not about numbers, competition and membership guidelines. it's about love.
but i've hit a snag...
what do i do when i stumble across a group that teaches about jesus but has some other serious issues that i strongly disagree with?? what about when they snag people into their nets that i love??
i have a hard time letting it be "ok".
in fact...i actually want to flippin' tell some people off. (hence the "seeing red" from earlier...)
i've been reading paul's thoughts in 1 corinthians because it seems there was some drama with a guy named apollos who was also a minister...well, and drama with the people who made heroes of men with subsequent pissing matches. his thoughts actually are frustrating to me. he asks that we let things be about christ and the preaching of him...even if there are other things we disagree with. and THEN he goes further to encourage trust in god to reveal things in the right time. his freakin' high road...
all that alongside what god's been daring me to do regarding loving the tough people in my life.
i'm so mad right now...i could spit nails.
so i'm weighing things. saying something??...possible. praying about it???....definite. :)
