Recently I have been exposed to some awesome teaching with The Army in Australia, as it has been imparting, using Dr Paul Borden.
This has greatly encouraged me and challenged me and stretched me and enlarged me ...
you get it ??
well anyway, it appears as though not everyone agrees with his teaching and training in the Army and that is disappointing I guess... but it never ceases to amaze me, that people will comment and form opinion, based on half truth or impartial understanding ?
it seems to me that people should keep their mouth(or email) shut until they understand every little bit about what they are saying...to quote a great pastor friend of mine...
"if you keep your mouth shut, people will still think you are smart "////?????
anyway... the other thing I don't get, is why we always try to knock down, that which God has done in someone else and criticise it, as something less than what God might choose to do in us as well ? or try to justify our lack of growth by defending who and what we have become, we are in decline in Australia, just face it !!!
I would be very slow to criticise something which God has done in someone else, another church or church organisation..... based on my own limited experience....often we just say what we think based on our own experience and unless we have experienced everything there is to experience, then how can anyone do that ?
well I say bring it on, whatever God wants to do, even if that means creating huge mega churches called salvo corps that reach a world and save lost souls (in holistic ministry) by their thousands.... I say BRING IT ON.
