Following Problems

It has come to my attention that those trying access my blog have been getting an IE message that the operation is aborted and then a blank IE page pops up.

I learned by googling the problem that it is caused by the "Follower" widget. I deleted the follower widget and it is now working fine. Just FYI.

Blesssings all...

The Wind blows where it will...

When the winds of change blow... What choice do we have but to move?

That is exactly where we find ourselves. We are at a crossroads. An opportunity for significant, positive change looms on our horizon. Our response becomes critical - lifechanging.

I can't go into all the details, but yesterday the wind blew into our lives unexpectedly and shook us up a bit. It promises change, future, hope and challenge. And, here we are in the middle of it again.

How is it that the winds of change swirl all about us but scarcely find us watching for them? I think that is the thing that is rolling through my mind. We are now facing the fact that several years ago when a similar opportunity came our way - we chose selfishly, foolishly and moved in a direction that took us away from God's narrow path. Which inadvertently landed us right back on the narrow path when we began walking our journey at Gateway Church. Now, we are faced with that very same decision and looking to choose wisely. We are praying about the direction, but will begin setting things in motion on Monday... And the change will come to us within a week or so... It's exciting, crazy scary and trying all at the same time. It feels impossible.

To my surprise, last night was a calm night. We were not in upheaval and my husband was not disappointed or angry or seemingly frustrated at all. I guess I shouldn't be surprised - we have been building up to this place recently. Instead, he was listening, weighing, considering and agreeing. We prayed together after discussing our situation and found God in our midst. Maybe, just maybe we are called to be flexible, transient - not too attached to the things of this world, just good stewards of them. Maybe this is the way God brings us back to where we should have been all along, but in a different way. Maybe... Just Maybe... This is the day for change.
Does it really all come down to what we are willing to believe?

" 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes." Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" ~ Mark 9:23-24 NIV

Telling the Truth in Love?

**UPDATE**

Please read the comment left by my friend at Shiloh Ranch. She articulates very well the questions I ask in this post. I'm going to spend time this evening evaluating my own questions in the only source of Truth - God's Word. I will post my response tomorrow morning or Sunday Afternoon in A New Post... Love you guys and thanks for coming alongside me in this.

Blessings.

ORIGINAL POST:

Am I missing something?

Please help me out:

I am very troubled over what I see to be a broad movement in the Church - Please prayerfully consider the title of this post and write your comment about how it applies to disagreements of theology and doctrine. I have my thoughts on the subject and what I continually hear on public radio and read on the internet and in print.

Are there boundaries, parameters and limits to the work of Apologetics or are we to passionately
unabashedly espouse our differences without personally speaking to the person with whom we've taken offense?

My troubled heart has grown to overflow in repentance over this very issue and a desire to say more on the subject but only after consulting more of God's Word on the subject?

My questions:

How do we tell the truth in love?

How do we correct a fellow believer in error?

Is there a mandate to address such things in a pulpit fashion - or are we merely being like those we rail against?

Where is the line and have we crossed it?
