Bible Note: Dear Azure, and Doc, If only it were that easy to do. Sometimes it works well, but sometimes those involved, still want to just sweep problems under the metaphorical rug. Many just don't want to deal with problems, and think if we don't confront them, they will magically go away. But, they don't. Heb 12:8 seems to fit in there pretty well. :-( Thankfully -praise God!- my Pastor tries to do things, by the Book, (i.e. the Bible) and he's even asked me to go along with him when someone needed to be lovingly and scripturally confronted because of an obvious transgression. We've been studying and trying to follow the scriptural guidelines for Church health explained in a very clear comprehensive way by Dr. Mark Dever in his book, 9Marks of a healthy Church. Very good stuff! Doc, by the way I've got the book you recommended, How to read the Bible for all its worth. I'll let you know what I think when I'm finished with it. But don't hold your breath, Doc, I've got a few others to finish first and I don't read very fast. Seems like lately though, I don't do much of anything very fast. Except maybe fall to sleep. :-) John |
