Overcoming a Church Hurt
Greeting, About 18 months ago after return from some time off from the Ministry,I was put out of a church,that I pastored by the Deacon who inform me that they no longer wanted me there. The police was called, and inform that the church was in their name(Deacon) and they wanted me off the property. The membership was told that they had NO input,comments,or say-so, this was their decision. This has been very difficult for me to accept,and move forward. Last July we started a New Ministry but the growth of the church as been slow.There are several of the old members from the old church are with me,and they have been a blessing to my life.No matter how I try to move forward in the Ministry and in life,the pain of what happen is still there. I feel like God is mad with me,and it was MY fault that they put me out the church. When I see some of the old member from the church it is good and painful to see them,especially when I hear of how UNHAPPY they are still being there.(Why do they stay then?) The situation has not only effected me,but my wife and kids. I love people and the Ministry of Pastoring, and "I live to preach,and not preach to live." I ask that you pray for me that God will reveal WHY this had to happen,and for the growth and strength of our New Church and me as a man,Christian,father,husband,and pastor. Bless you, and I welcome your comments.Thanks.
