*We need to re-think our insistence on getting our way with reguard to a
traditional Ranger program if it breeds conflict or discouragement with
the shepards of our fellowships..
I heard the suggestion that parents should... or leave.. ect.
Let me tell you that is no different than demanding pastor do something or
you will (insert threat)
*Witchcraft is the manipulation of others for your desired means...
The bible warns us not to raise a hand against God's appointed leaders..
or sew seeds of discouragement!
The Bible calls doing so.. an *abomb-ah-nation to the Lord, and that deed
then lays at the same leval of sin as sexual perversion!
*Change is comming in part due to Ranger Leadership not being keen to the
desires of church leaders to shape and build the church in a maner best
facilitated by our current pastoral shepards...
I know my warning has been stern... but be ready to think things thru
before bringing a discourageing word or criticizum of current ministries.
If we submit... and yeild, we can serve.
