If another leader like Bro. Haney was still in the running, would God have changed PM's mind? If it looked like a preacher who was tolerant of the extremes looked like he would win, would PM have let his name run?
Lot's of questions! Don't you LOVE religious politics?  |
Dunno. I don't think the Almighty is too concerned with weeding out and sorting the various candidates for a position within the UPC. But if we lack wisdom on a matter we can confidently ask and receive some illumination.
Maybe JJ didn't think to ask, or maybe he's one who tells God how it's going to be when he prays (I doubt that though, because I've prayed with him before). Or maybe the circumstances in JJ's life are a bit different than those in PM's life?
Maybe "God" was telling PM to dodge a bullet, and didn't tell JJ because that bullet wasn't aimed at him?
Human lives are almost infinitely complex. All I can do is apply some principles of complexity and then I'll see, or at least be able to imagine, all of the ways the two men's lives and callings are different.
