Bible Question:
Hi Tim, Let me give you an issue 3, if I may. We had a situation in my fellowship where a young man started a home bible study on a Tuesday night. We have mens prayer on the same night. He had been a part of our men’s prayer group before he started the bible study. He started this bible study on his on without the pastors blessing. I feel, as the pastor did also, that this young man is an anointed teacher/preacher. The pastor didn’t say anything to this young man so maybe it was OK with him. I never brought it up, but I always felt it would have been better if he had done this under the pastor’s authority since there was the mens prayer conflict. What do you think? Thanks, retxar |
Bible Answer: Greetings Retxar! Like you, I would rather Bible studies be done under the authority of the church. However, I would be tickled to death to have a young man who was that on fire! But, it would definitely be better if all small groups were done under the authority of the church, so that the church could benefit from them. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
