"Overcoming the Fear Factor" . . . Part 2

"A Rant or A Tirade, Who's to Blame" ? ? ?

i don't really "blame" the current leadership,
they were only "Cloning"
"Models" that were flawed from the start.

This is not time for a church history lesson,
but i believe the church "went off the tracks"
when the people lost their "voice" and became
afraid to remind their "pastor"
that the "pastor" was to "serve" the people.
Not the other way around.

By serve i mean, "recognize" us, who we are.
Not just the strong "useful" types that can further
"your" dreams and agendas.

But the "messed up" ones
who have dreams and feelings too.
You know...
the ones that take up "all" your "time"
the ones that you're "happy" to see "leave"
after you've ignored them
or tried to force them, to get with your "program".
You know, the ones that don't "clean up" well.

Many of my friends are pastors,
So i know what you're thinking ...
i can't do it "all", i'm only "one" man ...

So, why don't you "quit trying" and try to figure out
what you're "teaching and modeling" that is not working.
It just takes a little "Body Building" ...
No "Body" likes to "Work Out" . . . "Alone"

"You Are Not Alone" . . .
