I have a hard time understanding some people and churches. Don't get me wrong, I am not a negative person and I am not on here to criticize. Someone was telling me about a church who had a dictitorial pastor. He did not want his people to visit other churches (even on nights there church had no services). He also rebuked his people for missing church even if it was worked related.
Now look each pastor/church leader has to do what they feel in there heart. However, scripture teaches it better to have a millstone around your neck than hurt one of God's children. Too many good people have left churches because they got hurt or ordered around. Look no man of God wants anyone to miss church or to leave there home church. However, if you rail on people, your not gonna to keep them.
The church's that have a controlling spirit, only end up hurting themselves.
May I be committed to love unconditionally. May I be certain that my church family will stick in my church, even if they visit other churches,
It is a pastor/church leader's job to encourage people and not make them feel inferior or inadequate.
Yes, there will be times of chastisement, but if administered in love it will work. If it is administered in arrogance it will only result in trouble.
May we learn to love and except people for who they are, and let God do the clean up.
