I felt the need to vindicate myself from some past events, and that's partially why this site started.

However, I have been reading through Romans 14, and being convicted of this:

Romans14 (The Message)
22-23Cultivate your own relationship with God, but don't impose it on others. You're fortunate if your behavior and your belief are coherent. But if you're not sure, if you notice that you are acting in ways inconsistent with what you believe—some days trying to impose your opinions on others, other days just trying to please them—then you know that you're out of line. If the way you live isn't consistent with what you believe, then it's wrong.

Romans14 (NASB)
22The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who (AM)does not condemn himself in what he approves.

23But (AN)he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.

Romans14 (NIV)
22So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves. 23But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.

Not to say that one should not stand up for the Gospel when it is at risk. However, I believe that personal ministry philosophies and styles are not something to be quarreled about until Gospel is at risk. I took down many posts based on that conviction.

There is no specific individual or church ministry I am targeting. Just thoughts on church ministries as a whole.

A brief introduction

It is our care and concern over the church that drive us to present what we have experienced and witnessed. The observations that we bring are not intended to slander the church, but rather to raise awareness to the point that members might change how they approach the existing ministry style. While we believe that only the leaders of the church are in a position to implement the needed changes, we have no desire to criticize their motives or intentions.
