... To realize that people stand in the way of discipleship and spiritual growth with no regard for how that will affect the future, just because they have petty preferences and convoluted ideas.
I've been thinking about this a lot for the past couple of days...
I have made plenty of mistakes in my life. And I am not going to sit here in judgment against other people tonight. But something hit me like a ton of bricks early this evening...
And let me just say that as far as it depends on me, I am NEVER going to let another person be sacrificed in the name of God when what is really happening is a power trip about politics and money...
I will not be able to live with myself if 5 years from now I get a call about a dead kid who should have been living it up in the fullness of God's grace instead of sinking into the depths of despair. I am older now... and I have more experience now... and I am not afraid of what other people might think anymore...
A good friend of mine says that I breathe fire... He's kidding. But watch out, because these "kids" who pass through our lives every week mean an awful lot to me, and if you mess with them... and if you mess with their spiritual growth... I'm not afraid to fight you over it... and it might get hot...
