As I have asked, He was faithful to deliver.
Since my last post I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with, at length, four persons who were real live powerhouses, though like Gandolph while in the shire, somewhat cloaked with plain-oldness in outward appearance. Each were somewhat akin to me in attitude toward what they have found both in the world and in the church.
Like me, they had all hoped that leaders would care about them while leading, that those in a position to hear a case and make a call would do so without bias though it might be to their own hurt, that the "parent" (in a relationship) would give grace and take more responsibility than the "adolescent", and that the church would work less like a business and more like a Holy Order.
The background of each of these folks included personal assistant to Corey Tinboom, multimillion dollar company founder, apostolic church planter and performance academy founder. Each having found a high degree of success has recently taken a step back and is now searching for the answer, though not in the usual or familiar places.
Each believes that God is up to something...new.
Is this who I prayed for?
What am I supposed to do now?
I think I need to pray some more..

Is God up to something new? You think??... Yeah, but it's sooo dangerous.
The church as an institution is not capable of meeting the needs of the people who are asking it to. The institution needs to hold the people accountable (to its own "hurt") God is calling us to take care of each other. We are the church. That's what we should do... follow the thread. Be not do. Give & recieve. Turn off the TV, go outside and walk with God. How content the devil is to watch us wait for the church to step up to the plate. blah, blah, blah
Ha! Look who showed up in this post? (almost missed myself...Corrie ten Boom is how her name is spelled)...and have you heard any more about what to do next?
