This week Forerunner Christian Fellowship (My church) hosted a guest speaker all week. I was on the shuttles team all week for the evening services, so I had the chance to hear the speaker as well. I went in on Monday & Wednesday. Tuesday I took Jay so he wouldn't have to be in the box (We had a great time walking around outside, as it was really nice!) and Thursday I went to the Prayer Room to get some work done. So, I'm stating upfront that I only went to two of the sessions.
That being said, in the sermon Wednesday night there were A LOT of things I didn't agree with. One topic in particular left me praying off and on the rest of the week, trying to decide if it was me or if it was just me not wanting to see something within the scriptures. What I came to was that it was something I just didn't agree with, and it was something that I was just going to have to pray through and let go of, even if FCF (my church) agreed with it. I haven't dwelled on it, but I have prayed over it, as it's something that mattered to me.
Tonight I went to FCF and Mike Bickle (Main leader of FCF) got up and stated that FCF leadership doesn't agree with the specific statement that had me pondering all week. I WAS SO STINKIN' EXCITED!!! He did state (and I agree with this statement) that he has a deep respect for that speaker but there were a few things that he didn't agree with. Honestly, I felt a weight lifted when he said that because that was how I felt. I felt that the speaker had some good points, but he also had some that didn't line up with my knowledge of God.
In my walk with God, I have found that there are some things that you have to let go of and agree to disagree on things because we're all human, and there isn't a perfect church. (Trust me, I tried to find one! *grin*) At the same time, sometimes it just stinkin' rocks when someone else confirms what you are thinking and feeling about something. That's what happened for me tonight. *grin*
LIFE.
IS.
GREAT!!!
