An young adult has asked, what do you do if you feel like some groups in a church are loved more than others:
Aye, well 1st, define Church, we the people, Sinners saved by Gods grace are the Church. Then recognize that our local congregation is nothing but an AA meeting for Christians, let’s just call it a SSBGG meeting! As Christians we have to be smart enough to not look at people, not to be followers of people or praise individuals, and vigilant enough to realize it’s all about God. Many wise and intelligent people ask questions like this but you already know the answer. I, myself get myself in predicaments as I tend not to sugar coat or filter my thoughts before they become verbal and most of the time, it’s in a joking capacity. Nevertheless, people either love me or hate me and they will let you know one way or another. Personally, and maybe I shouldn’t be like this, but how others perceive me, especially those who don’t even truly know me, doesn’t bother me one little bit. The way I see it, if God be for you what difference does it make who’s against you. Then we have to remember as Christians, we’re on the same team. So either let God use us for good to the best of our gifts, or satan will use us for evil unwilling and unknowingly to cause, doubt, divide and chaos within our own Family of God. Although we all cross oceans, our battles, our weaknesses are not the same. Souls that seem to bond closer than others may just be their God ordained circle. We should all be receptive enough to find our God circle. A place of true refuge. If I feel lead to move on to another cause I feel like I’m not getting what I need, then with the guidance of my Savior, I’ll March on. The objective, the mission is still the same but my duty my orders may put me in a different platoon. Bottom line, don’t let chatter distract you from the mission. On Judgement day, God will not stop and ask if anyone would like to add to our faults or achievements, no one will say I should have done this or he should have done that another way. We will stand on our own, on Judgement day and give an account. Love ya brother, you are wise beyond your years. I see a fire inside of you that could light up an entire generation, fyi, Satan does too. Stay vigilant and focused on the mission my brother, looking forward to see what God has in store for you!
