Got
Bitten at Church?
I was listening to Sid Roth's, "It's Supernatural"
and a man was talking about how he got hurt at church and the Lord
apologized to him about God's sheep biting him.
Sheep do bite. Maybe God's children are teething or something? Children many times bite when they are getting their teeth.
For me it was Christian men. I got bit by Christian men who did not walk in Agape love. I can understand why Paul's instruction in marriage is "Husband's love your wives." Than he compared it to Christ laying down his life for the church. It's hard sometimes to find a man who will put his wife and children above his own needs.
I had a relative who built a pulpit for the pastor and when some people criticized it, he never came back to church. He was a very young believer at the time. I think it's sad he let a couple of critical people with Pharisee attitudes run him off.
I would much rather see people jump ship (go to another church) than completely not attend church at all. We are the church (the lively spiritual stones) that make up the church. But we are also told not to forsake the assembly of ourselves together as the manner of some is.
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:25
