I am requesting personal rebuke IN CASE I offended anybody with ANY my posts/responses. My heart is grieved over what I consider the carnal condition of the church. Often I think differently than a lot of pastor friends who are excited about large Sunday morning attendance. My desire is to see the glass half full. However, I can't live in a bubble and deny reality concerning the spiritual condition of the church. Often I search my heart and ask God to deal with any jealousies concerning the megachurch versus our smaller congregation. My goal is to share my heart, create thought provoking posts that challenge others to search scripture and give objective feedback concerning the Word, cultural adaptation or compromise. Once I post I read over my own thoughts several times. My desire is to address the issues without attacking the person. Often my wife and I see things differently but neither of us ever slept on the couch!Often I address the congregation and ask people to let me know if I offend them in any way. If people leave Actscelerate I wish them the best and just pray he/she is following God's direction for their lives. I do my best to do the same with people who leave our church.
