Re: Writing a letter to my pastor
It always seems to go back to David and Saul right?
Modern leaders aren't kings ruling within a theocratic country. This is the church. Second God didn't approve or wnat that whole king nonsense in the first place. He begged Israel by way of the prophet to NOT ask for a king. Finally, you see no reference back to David and Saul in the NT when it writes about how to deal with leaders and disagreements. You certainly see nothign about how you owe your pastor a sit down meeting and explanation when you feel God leading you elsewhere. I think 99% of the time it is a good idea to show him that respect and talk to him, but it's not like this process is spelled out in scripture.
