Doctrine and Holiness Conference

[Jay]

I believe in strong standards, but my father (my pastor) taught me one important point: there are times and places for addressing certain things, and you always live consistently. You do not show one thing at a conference and another thing at home. It should be the same thing the same way, and if you and another disagree over a small point, do not die on that pebble.

I have seen the competition of one trying to prove that they standards down better than another, but I also remember hearing warnings given in confernces that warned, "What you have is good, but watch the attitude that you have with it. For if your attitude is not right with God, you will not stand." I watched this prophecy come to pass. The group that I saw split and was divided and went every which way. As far as I know, they are still in the church, but they are no longer in fellowship.

Now that I have said that, I have one more thing to say. Those of us who have high external standards must take great care that we do keep an equally high standard where our attitutdes are a concerned.

I appreciate this.
