I think it would be so much easier to live in the neat, tidy, black/white world some of you seem to live in, where people fit into neat categories and there are never any situations to which you must say "I have no idea..."
My world is just way more complex than yours.
I need to move

but life inside the neatly contained box is so much more secure.
Let the wild rumpus start!

Comes with the territory of being a State/Regional Overseer. My dad sometimes voiced the same sentiment.

I've not ever lived in this place that you are alluding to...NEVER...
There is a ROCK between me and a hard place. His name is JESUS.

I have to admit. I once "lived" in that world.
But, it all changed when we left the C world and so many things weren't as we "believed".
Our first conflict was to find the most GODLY couple we have ever known in our lives. They had both been married before and it took us a LONG time to get past that hurdle.
Then, to find out that they drank a glass of wine with dinner sometimes!!! LOOK OUT NOW!
And, they didn't "speak in tongues" yet believed they were FILLED with the Spirit when they got saved.
That was just the start.
In the past 27 years, we have had SO MANY of our "beliefs" and "constants" challenged by the Holy Spirit and then had them come falling down like the Walls of Jericho!!!
Yeah, I'm with you, my Brother.

Response: I think that's a bit of drama.
If you had posted a post about ministering to transgendered people without linking it to a scripture blessing eunuchs there may have been a more clear understanding of your position. However, since people use such scriptures to condone continued perversions, responses were somewhat reasonable.
We minister to homosexuals, have some that come to church and participate in homeless ministry. We minister to the abused children, spouses, drug addicts, the over medicated, under medicated
and any type of sinner that the Lord might send.
It's a false impression that no one else really is involved in real ministry.
If I'm way off base on the prompts behind this post, forgive me it just seemed that's what you were driving at.
What we need here is a good revival! lol
