Along the lines of being a good follower I would advise: Don't check your brains and your Bible at the door! If you're in a place where it is not alright to ask questions, you are probably in the wrong place. At least not a safe place. Remember though, there is a big difference between a question and an accusation and sometimes the way we ask a question makes the person to whom the question is directed feel as if they are being accused of something. If a person feels like they are being attacked it is only natural for them to respond defensively.
I suggest that you seek clarification regarding a matter so you can fully understand either a decision that has been made or a statement you may have heard incorrectly. If it's not alright to seek clarification, agian you probably are in an enviroment that isn't all that healthy.

About Me
- carlt
- I came to Christ in 1965..I was deeply impacted by the witness and teaching of John Wimber. John was my mentor from that time until July of 1997 and I benefited greatly from this. I have had lots and lots of highs and some severe and serious lows; the church has crushed me like a bug and embraced me and brought healing to me as well. It has been quite a ride. I try in these blogs to reflect on all of this in one way or another.
