How do you communicate to a group of imperfect people, being imperfect, that they are in the wrong, that they should shape up, that God calls us to a higher standard?

Take Moses for example. Moses did what was right in the image of God and the people complained--he spoke to Pharaoh to get them freed and Pharaoh only increased their burden. It was Moses' fault.

If you can't stand criticism, forget leadership. Pack your bags and go home. Stand up for what is right in his eye: servitude, worship, obediance, salvation, love. Measure up against Him, make right with Him, and step out into the world and speak to His people and those who are not "His people" the blessings he has made known to you.

Being a worker of God does not make you a hero in the eyes of His congregation, it makes you the object of criticism.

Thanks Roger. It's about time someone stood up.
