Some People May Not Be Aware Of This
Here is why I created the two models I posted in my last post.
Clergy should be “the light of the world” and “the salt of the
earth.” But sadly, many aren’t. Distrust among clergy is rising – and clergy
approval ratings are decreasing. But when things like greed, gossip and
outright slanderous and hurtful talk, and scheming takes place among clergy in
backroom meetings, distrust is sure to follow. Such conduct is unbecoming of
any clergy, and it certainly doesn’t stay in the backrooms. Slowly it seeps
out, like how rain water finds its way into a small crevice. And little by
little the slow seepage eventually reveals the damage. Roofs and ceilings can
be repaired, but trust that has been betrayed can never be repaired. At best a
patch may be applied, but a band aid cannot fix a gaping wound.
Gossip and other forms of sin, in any form, is a disgusting
hobby. I like to engage in hobbies that don’t hurt others. I have some major health issues, but I still do manual
labor. Of course, I'm limited in how much work I can do in a day. But I still do my best, and at the end of the day my body is screaming for rest.
Whatever is spoken in secret will, in due time, be revealed.
I borrowed this quote: “The tongue is a tool and
compared to a gun. Alone they cause no problems but used by the wrong person
can cause harm to many!”
