Actually, yesterday he told me he was disappointed in me. God has led me to join a small, very struggling church here in Nashville. They and their organization need some help, and I want to help. The women cut their hair, wear make up, some of the men wear shorts during the week, etc.
And yes, I have stronger standards personally and wish they did. I do believe there is some "error" (for lack of a better word), but they are still within the family of God, and I feel like that's where I need to be.
He said, so when you've taught and preached, your telling them they need to clean up, right? Cause granted, I'm pretty strict and conservative.
I told him no... that's not my place... and not why I was sent there.
So he said yesterday that I was already starting to backslide... I said my principles and convictions haven't changed. I'm trying to make a difference there. So he says if I don't spout off and lay into them I'm backslid....
I'm not concerned, actually somewhat affirmed. I don't have to lay into them, and don't have to "correct" them to make a difference and still believe what I believe.
Frankly, he needs to grow up and be reintroduced to Jesus.
