NEXT MEETING: To Be Advised

TIME: TBD

FOOD: TBD

TOPIC: OPEN

Sunday

Twelve there were and twelve were we

Twelve strong we were on saturday - there to talk about being disciplers. Yes we understand there is no such word in the oxford dictionary , but know full well it is what we are all called to be. Paulien outdid herself with what she prepared on the topic, some interesting and valids points that were shared:
---Servanthood is high on the list of the curricculum of all disciplERS/Leaders.
---As in mountaineering expeditions and rock climbing endeavors, we are all connected... when one falls we all need to stop to regain our momentum. Picking up the one who has fallen, or simply giving them the time to reestablish themselves within the body.
---We should all be prepared to confront and correct one another(Adequate maturity gets tested here) and we should be able to accept the correction.
---Without denying ourselves, we cannot be His disciples - a tough but real wake up call for us all.
---Be prepared to take some knocks for the Kingdom

    1) Take the problem to God first.
    2) Be the first to take the initiative to restore the relationship.
    3) Play the ball not the person (resolve the problem without attacking the person).
    4) Stand in there shoes and look at the problem from there side.
    5) Be the first to say sorry for your fault in the argument.
    6) Peace is more important that the solution to the problem
    7) Cooperate as much as possible. Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody. (Peace always has a price tag. Sometimes it costs our pride; it often costs our self-centeredness.)

    I reckon ANONYMOUS is referring to the point on confrontation in the blog post...

    Someone Chosen, I presume it is you that gave our blog a facelift. It looks goooooood.

    I am pretty sure that some of you might think that I am anonymous but for the record I am not. I do however think his/her comment is well written and I agree. I am all for accountability, it is very necessary, we can't do without it. BUT, it must be done in love. The person or persons doing it must have prayed about it and made sure that their hearts and attitudes are right before God. Jenni Bates
