Misunderstandings

I must say that it has come down to this: most people will listen to what they want to hear out of a sermon and then twist it to their liking instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to open their ears and take in what is intended. This is how wars are started. This is how churches are split. This is how great men's reputations are ruined....lies, rumors, accusations, etc. You don't like what the man of God is saying? You take what he says and USE it AGAINST him! How dirty! How wrong! How sinful! I grew up as a pastor's daughter. This is nothing new. People have been doing this for years. They listen to what they want, and then, BOOM, the church is now splitting, the pastor is resigning because he can't convince the people that what he said is not what they are taking in....it's sickening. It's nauseating...I can't take it because this isn't what Christianity is! I can't find a person who is perfect here on Earth, and I don't expect to find a person who will say the right thing all of the time, 100% of the time. So, why are we fighting amongst ourselves? This is foolishness, and not only is it wrong to rebuke a pastor across the nation so everyone can read your "disagreement," you are not realizing that you are stepping on hallowed ground! To attack a man of God is very dangerous! People have come against my dad and the end result was not pretty! I have to say that God will defend His man. So, put down your sword, and go about doing what you know to do in your own church and your own people. Stand for what you BELIEVE....stop fighting and bickering. Stop throwing out accusations that are not only untrue, they are damaging. I can't stomach a person who thinks they are right and won't stop and ask God if they really are right. I look to my God for the ANSWER...HE IS THE ANSWER....HE IS THE TRUTH! HE IS THE DEFENDER OF HIS WORD....LET HIM FIGHT THESE BATTLES, not us! Stop confusing people and trying to destroy a man of God. We need to wake up, Christians! Where is the "LOVE WALK?" Where did we fall of the track? I say we fell off when we decided to fight a war that is unnecessary. Our battle is NOT with man...it is with SATAN and his forces of evil....our war is to stand against him with the WORD of God and fight against his lies and deceptions. We should not fight people....EVER. For our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against the rulers of darkness.
