Well said!
I have o...Oh, don't be sorry, Kim. Well said!<br /><br />I have often stood on my virtual soapbox and exhorted others to glean wisdom where they can, but always remember that they are accountable to the LORD, to follow HIM first and foremost.<br /><br />I have also often said "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater." Where there is wisdom and truth that lines up with Scripture, a person can gain insight. I don't think we can discard everything just because we don't like something a person says.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241205993383739880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224568723728253433.post-26911614119550223332010-03-30T23:48:01.217-04:002010-03-30T23:48:01.217-04:00I am also someone who is critical of the Pearl'...I am also someone who is critical of the Pearl's ministries/teachings. However, having read the child training books, and even ordering their newsletter for short time, I do not believe that they advocate violence. They are definately harsh and lacking in mercy in alot of their teachings - which is one reason I stopped reading them. <br /><br />However, in the midst of a horrible story of this young girl's death, the fault lies in the parents. No man-made ministry should take over the way any christian thinks or acts in the aspects of life. That's where I see the problem. God expects us to 'study and show ourselves approved' in all areas.<br /><br />I don't agree with everything my pastor preaches because I, with my husband, come home and study the scripture he uses for his preaching and seek out God's lead, not the pastor's lead. <br /><br />No doubt, I am singing to the choir about this - you have always shown yourself to be well studied in scripture. I just wanted to express the thoughts I had while reading the link you provided. Sorry for carrying on...Kim from Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102205952990014037noreply@blogger.com
