They took care of the situation, protected those involved, and I was able to read about the crime in the Carmel Paper the next week. I say well done, and Thank You.BeckyEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11181670255360575340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130643938140591316.post-81554593629839661062007-04-03T11:21:00.000-05:002007-04-03T11:21:00.000-05:00Oh Lindsay, I couldn't agree more about the seriou...Oh Lindsay, I couldn't agree more about the seriousness of the crime, but what I was pointing out was that we have all broken the ten commandments (notice the order). The "people" in my illustration, as seen at the end, were being counseled and changing - confrontation had happened. <BR/><BR/>Major problems occur when Christians think they are too good to be around other sinners - we are all in the same boat here, saved by Grace only by the blood of Jesus. I thank Him for cleansing me and others.BeckyEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11181670255360575340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130643938140591316.post-64590788726475668842007-04-02T22:49:00.000-05:002007-04-02T22:49:00.000-05:00It is incredibly sad to see you making light of su...It is incredibly sad to see you making light of such a serious situation; taking an innocent child’s suffering and turning it into satire.<BR/><BR/>By your church’s own admission this past Sunday, they should have informed at least the parental parties of the congregation of Terry VanGorp’s crime. They had an admitted, un-convicted, un-sentenced, un-registered child molester walking around in their church, and they knew it. That is hardly the same as a liar, a thief, even an adulteress. <BR/><BR/>These other sinners you so wittingly point out, they should have their sins pointed out to them. The Bible is clear within the body of Christ we are to judge, confront, confess, and repent to one another. These other sinners would benefit from some confronting by those that love them. (I ofcourse don't just mean 'them', but 'all of us' should be confronted, and listen to our brother/sister and search our hearts and repent. That's what the Bible says anyway). <BR/><BR/>Your church leadership was obviously confronted, and willing to admit fault where they were wrong. Maybe you will learn something from that. I hope for that poor child’s sake that she (or her family) never reads this; someone writing something so incredibly insensitive to the seriousness and criminality of what she has gone through. I hope you will see your error, and follow in your leadership’s steps by deleting this before you cause more damage to an already horrid situation.<BR/><BR/>LindsayLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414596145603717403noreply@blogger.com
