I think it's hardest in parenting. You know you correct, or rebuke, or you encourage your child - nothing happens. They don't seem to be getting it. And out of fear we start to push, and nag, and attack. Like a good farmer, pray for patience and allow the truth seed time to win. It's amazing what a little space can do. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%204:2&version=NIV 2009-09-17T16:21:27-05:00 We usually think of a rebuke as a bad thing, but when it's used in love to put somebody on the correct path, it can be a blessing to them. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/It-Stings-But-it-Disinfects-3883 2008-07-29T12:22:03-05:00 Notice, a rebuke can actually be "life-giving." It doesn't usually feel life-giving. When someone points out something they don't like about us, it hurts. It stings. But God says if we heed that criticism or rebuke, we're showing how wise we are. http://sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=21041&forum=34&5 2008-01-03T20:07:04-05:00 Should the church have standards?? example: for who sings in the choir? who plays a guitar on the worship team? ect...
