I was recently asked to explain REAL SLOW, to this list, why everyone is not welcome to serve in this ministry. I don't have a dog in that fight. Amazing sociological behavior it is- the macabre compulsion to beat a dead horse. The good thing about dead horses is that they are no problem to feed, and they don't kick. But why someone would want to waste thier time and energy on flailing away at one is beyond the scope of reason. It is like a manure bucket, which, left alone for a while skins over and quits stinking. But, invariably, there will always be someone who cannot resist the temptation to stir it every time they walk by and see it, causing it to stink all over again. People, listen to me. You can accomplish more by shoveling the manure back in a live horse than by beating a dead one. The real heart of the matter is that there is no matter. That's right. Just like there is no controversy over who should be allowed in the ladies room. What the problem is, is that this ministry did not work out for someone, (due to obvious reasons) and now they want to stand outside the gate and tell us all how the cow eats the cabbage. Picking at and pointing out every IMAGINARY crack and flaw in it's structure. On a campaign against an imaginary enemy, when the real enemy, like that of the dog in Aesop's fable, is the reflection in the water. I once worked for a man who was united pentecostal. Oneness. Didn't believe in the trinity. Thought it and the A/G was a lie from satan. I listened objectively for a year to his tapes, arguments, etc. The more I heard the more I was convinced he was wrong. Then God showed me something about this person. He was trying to convince himself. Ever see a man on a campaign against nothing? Someone who can only see and derive one subject from everything they see and hear? Who can't let it lie, but has to bring it up over and over and over again? You see a person who is struggling within himself, a person on an endless mission to convince everyone of something that isn't. What they are really doing is trying to convince themselves. Someone who is right doesn't feel the need to prove it or convince anyone else, they don't have to. They are secure in the knowledge and faith that what they believe is true. If there were really a valid issue here, we would not be hearing it over and over again. One time would do the trick. Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com |
