"i should have just cursed God and died, because watching the people i loved most being ripped apart by their fellow churchgoers was hell. But being able to stick through that and endure made me realize how amazing God truly is. It is time to put the bitterness to rest and take a long look at ourselves, especially in the church, and ask "Am i being Christ to another peron?" or "Am i destroying another person", "Is the church destroying the church?"
Its horrible whats happening in the church today with so many pastors, church clergy, and members of the church being destroyed over petty things and infighting. I believe that weve give sin its power back, [...]
I want this book in a way to serve as a warning tool and as an example of the dangers of what happens when we play political and religious games in the church. It does destroy people, and we have to stop destroying one another especially as the body of Christ."
that is from the intro to the book i just read halfway through in two hours called "Son of a preacher man" by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakkers son.....tears sliding down my face as this young man expresses exactly what has burdened my heart for over three years now...
no one can ever ever tell me that God isnt into small details.
