Sunday

Too rich! Nabal was yet again complaining about his pastora. Evidently after a year here she is still blaming the previous administrator for their churches lack of growth. Then Nabal says, "I guess everywhere there are abusive people they never take the blame for anything they are doing. They find someone else to blame." Oh my! 

Funny how now he considers his past pastor abusive, yet disagreed when said pastor's wife used the same word to describe his personal behavior.  And now the new pastora is too? Just kinda funny how he calls it in others. Before I was locked in marriage I saw people like that and walked the other direction. He stays and wants to play their game. I guess he sees himself as benevolent ruler to be. He waits his turn. He's had it before but being out in the open with no one to blame isn't his style. I'm holding him back because I will not bite. He needs a handy scapegoat. He doesn't have the actual nerve to completely take over and stay there I the face of opposition from other narcissistic personalities. Or for that matter from conscious objectors who personally disapprove of his behavior on biblical grounds. Any criticism he focuses on and looses focus. Good! One less narcissist in a pulpit. 

Let me say here. I do have issues with alcoholism, but not having a few drinks with friends. I have a problem with abuse wherever it hides. I have issues with people bringing their dirt into the church and want to call it right for their own purposes. My scripture  tells me that anyone outside my religion (hate that word really) is God's to judge. (Yeah most Christians miss that) but the one who calls himself brother yet is breaking all the rules is to be dealt with by the church. If these don't shape up then they are to be put out so maybe they can see how far away they really are. Now you see why the church goes after the world, tending the home fire is way harder...
