Please give me an opportunity to share some more about the Body of Christ…
Apparently, a post I made a few days ago after visiting another local Warsaw church while on vacation has caused some questions from some stevansheets.com visitors.
I would like to take an opportunity to clarify a few things about that post:
First, I love my church – maybe I should have started that post a few days ago with that same statement! I absolutely love the part of the Body of Christ that I am currently a member of and on staff at! Warsaw Wesleyan Church is an amazing body of believers, an amazingly loving body, and a great church for a freshman minister like myself to have his first years of ministry at! I absolutely admire the church that I am a part of!
Second, I acknowledge that the Body of Christ is larger than Warsaw Wesleyan – even larger than the Wesleyan denomination for that matter. That is what I was trying to acknowledge in last week’s post. I wanted to admire the diversity of the Body of Christ – realizing how God is worshiped in various venues – hopefully all with the main purpose of that – Worship! I did NOT intend to offend or diminish anything about the church I currently call “home”!
Third, I appreciate those of you who commented after last Sunday’s post – thank you for sharing your thoughts on what you read from my heart. I would also ask ANYONE who may read something they either agree with or disagree to PLEASE feel free to bring to my attention ANYTHING that may cause you to question my motives or cause you to ask, “what in the WORLD is he talking about?!” I always want to live a life of honesty and be constantly ready to dialogue out-loud on anything I may post about here on my personal website!
Finally, thank YOU – stevansheets.com readers for doing what you do best – READING! Keep on reading, keep on challenging me, keep on dialoguing – both in the comment-section and in-person! That’s what this site is for!
