Page 39 - Standing Alone
P. 39
we stand truly for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Here in our own church we've dealt with
issues of discipline; we've dealt with issues
of divorce, the communion, music, public
schools, birth control, standards, the issue
of sports, the issue of evangelism being
done the wrong way, and we have watched
how people react to those things. I have sat
in business meetings with five deacons in
the meeting and not have one of them
speak up for me. And then in one meeting,
about a week later one came and said, "I'm
with you, brother." I said, "That would have
been a big help about a week ago" —
because he could have changed the whole
course of things.
