1 | More harm then good? | Eph 4:16 | humbledbyhisgrace | 203098 | ||
Do we (mankind) do more harm then good when we take upon ourselves and/or allow someone to serve in capacities within the church that they have not been gifted for? Some say, God will bless it because someone has stepped up to do that which no one else would do. Is this in fact true? Or do we do more harm then good? Steve |

2 | More harm then good? | Eph 4:16 | Searcher56 | 203100 | ||
God's day to you, Steve, I have been in the midst of this situation, thrice. Once, where I was asked to be a deacon. I DQed myself because I wasn't married. Our church issued a call to someone who didn't have the spiritual gift to be a pastor. But, the "good ole boys" wanted him. Later, one of them came to me and said I was right. I spoke up, as I should. He left soon after. Another church issued to call to a pastor, who I said should not be called. He taught homeletics at a seminary. But, he didn't have the gift to preach, nor pastor. His call and actions after he came caused many to leave, I even suggested to him to step down. He refused - we left. When I heard he was going to be a minister at our new church, I objected. Our new church was elder ruled. He was under a 90 day trial, I was told. He was out before the 90 days. We need to do our part for the body, ad not be lazy. We also need to stop those who aren't qualified to serve. IMHO, Searcher |

Dear Searcher, I have no idea of the term "homeletic". Could you please tell me what it is? Thanks and Shalom Azure |

God's day to you, Azure. Sorry ... I had a fat finger typo ... it is homiletic, which is public preaching. The word from the Greek means to assemble together. Soem churches have homily which is a commentary on the Bible reading. While he taught how to preach, he didn't have the gift. Searcher |
