pissing off everyone

[mrsvollmar]

So once again everyone is pissed at me and i am not completely sure as to why. I mean yes im challenging phils authority, but i do have a strong scriptural backing. Its not like im leading a rebellion. I strongly disagree with the way e's house leadership is heading and i feel it would be wrong of me not to challenge them to make sure they are

eeeek...careful Holly! I definately understand your anger...but im not so sure that was a good idea to post that. Theres a lot division, confusion, and pain right now...and being solution focused is pretty key. Thanks for the compliments, they really do mean a lot to me, however, I do not know what I would do in Phil's position. unfortunately our generation has the curse of being pretty anti-establishment and we have a hard time trusting adults and especially leaders that take control. I've been in the punk and hardcore scene for about 6 years, so Ive seen a lot of it first hand. I dont think its wrong to question and vocalize your concerns, but the key is appropriatness. My role as a deacon is more to be there for people then to make key decisions, and I think naturally that has just ended up happening. People have been calling and Ive been doing my best to listen, give advice and encourage those that have called. I know its difficult but try to submit to Phil. im sure one of the scriptures you have is 1 peter 5...about elders not lording over people or being compulsive, but it also says "likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders" then its just talks about humility and submitting to one another...then comes the reason in verse 8" be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks around like roaring lion seeking whom he made devour." Satan is definately throwing all sorts of stuff at E's House right now, so lets try our best to submit to God and to who He's annointed (Phil and Brad) as leaders at E's House. Try to trust God and even people with this one...most of all seek to love and serve everyone. Feel free to call if you need to talk. Love you!
