And this is "holiness?"
Your question of "why?" - For myself, I feel now that I was deceived into joining an organization and giving the most productive years of my life to advance the ministries of men who wanted to simply use my youth and enthusiasm for their own cynical ends. I sacrificed and went years without a salary and preached for burned out ministers who were too lazy to crack a Bible but who were always "holier" than I.
I poured out myself to build a church and rally people around the gospel only to see those same people treated like the same kinds of "excrement" that my fellow ministers were treated like. "Why?" Lamentations 1:12-22 |
friend i do not think that your pain is not great...or that you hurt is not real...and I will pray that God keeps you in his grace.
organizations that are ran by human men will ALWAYS have deception, pride, and personal motives to deal with. its the fleas that come with the dog.
i do pray that God will grant you His grace to always know that if you served with a pure heart...you were serving Him....not an organization of men...that is sometimes....twisted, selfish, and perverts good to promote person gain.
and on that day...the day that really matters...it will be He and He alone who grants you your reward. God bless.
