tearing up a church

I hate those with divided loyalties. (Psalm 119:113).
Anyone who tears up a church because they want to be in control is tearing up the body of Christ. Anyone who tries to drive a pastor out is hurting one who God has placed in that situation.

Even David would not do that when confronted with King Saul even though Saul was bad.

And any church that allows it to happen over many years not only will never really grow, it will produce more of the same kind of people. It will never prosper.

If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them. (Titus 3:10). Like it or not, that is scripture.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
