Re: Am I being asked to leave?
Brother Epley,
You may want to consider this in your decision of wether to stay or go.
Do you feel that you have anything of value to offer here that God can use to help some one or even instill or encourage in them the ability to see or walk in some of the truths that you hold dear to your heart?
And then Is there anything that some of the "Liberal" BRETHREN on this group may have to add to YOUR experience with God or understanding of him and his church that being in the rarified atmosphere of conservatives who all pretty much dot every I and cross every T the same way you may not come across?
I will tell you this, Some of the scornful attitude in which some very precious truths are dismissed or marginalized by some is very hard to take. However if you remove your voice from the equation you completely abdicate the ability and perhaps responsibility to refute or define some of those truths to others less experienced than yourself.
I THINK (Words of wisdon here) that you sound like I feel so many times, tired, beat down, a million and one problems and the little things that USUALLY just roll right off of me like water off the back of a duck just seems to emotionally overwhelm me.
A doctor would say...Take two aspirin and call me in the morning" *I* say, think about how amazing it is when so many people who tell you they disagree WITH you also say "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE, WE LIKE YOU AND WANT YOU TO STAY."
Chill out Bro, you are evidently a very popular guy around here, and it would be a mistake to let whatever vibe you picked up on change your impact on this group.
P.S. what did you think about that "I baptize you in the name of the Father and the Son and Sheeka Boom BAM!" ? I am STILL cracking up over THAT!
