Just recently, I was talking to a dear sister in Christ that I met several years ago. We were discussing a local church and how it had changed over time. I expressed that even though I understood what the pastor’s point of view was, I no longer felt comfortable being a part of that group anymore.
After our discussion, it just confirmed to me several things that have been thinking about.
If the place you’re attending is driven to doing anything that isn’t in line with the overall council of God’s Word, you might be, dare I say it, seduced into following something that could be dangerous. Remember the movie, “Basic Instinct,” with Michael Douglas, and Sharon Stone? Sometimes things that seem good, lead to terrible mistakes and major disasters. Following a local body that is personality-driven is always a mistake; Following a specific program in exclsion to everything else is also a recipe for disaster. Putting them together is like shaking nitro glycerin, something catastrophic will result!
