Yesterday the Shepherd preached for a funeral at the church he pastored. I attended and had several people approach me. They wanted to tell me how good I looked. Several expressed sadness at how things worked out.
I find myself in turmoil. I want to tell these sheep about their elders. I know there exists Biblical precedent as well. Paul was pretty clear in a couple of his letters in dressing down the church leadership. I cannot claim divine inspiration so I try to be very careful and err on the side of silence.
O God, fill my heart with grace and forgiveness. Give me understanding of when to speak and when to be silent. Never do I want to tear apart your Church. Nor do I want to endorse deception. Give me wisdom .
