Stepping Out From the Shattered Place

The Lord has had me on an incredible journey. I finally feel like I am stepping out from the shattered place into Gods healing hands.

I watched a church split in two today. There was so much emotion running through the church. So many people hurt and unsure of what to think. I think most folks are in a state of shock.

I have to say the people that walked out did so because they feel that false teaching has no place in a church. Two staff members resigned this week. One of them did so today at the beginning of the service. One did so because he received threats via email.

Those who did walk out with the staff member who resigned went outside to pray for the church and everyone involved.

There is a call for a church wide meeting to address the charges and a call for prayer from everyone. The charges are false teaching and witchcraft. Please pray for this church and the meetings that are set up over the next few weeks.

I do like the way things are being handled. There is an effort to leave gossip out of it. They are not trying to hide the process. There will be open meetings to discus the charges. The people the charges are against are leadership in the church.

The person that resigned today did so because there is truth and there is untruth. He was not going to switch sides. To quit your job for the sake of truth and what is right is a difficult choice to make. To put yourself in the unemployment line for the sake of truth.

Would you make that choice? Would I? How far would you go to do what you see and feel the spirit tell you is the right thing to do?
