Should I write about it?

Well, something funny happened to me today. I say funny, but I felt that it was God being sarcastic with me again. Maybe He wasn’t actually, I am not exactly sure why He is leading me in a certain way and it might not be a joke at all.

Anyways you don’t understand anything so I better clear up my throat.

I go to a secular university. We have a Christian group - evangelical organization that’s on university campuses all around the globe. We are a very little group of Christian meeting together and so it’s quite easy to be in contact with the leadership and start serving the Christians at university through the organization by being part of prayer meetings, leading Bible studies, putting together bigger weekly meetings, etc.

I encourage everybody who’d be interested to come. No matter if they say they are Christians or not, believe in God or not, my so-called denomination or not. I have no problem and I love seeing people that are not evangelical participating in our meetings and Bible studies. But, I don’t think that someone who is not evangelical should be put in any position of leadership within the organization. It would not make much sense to have a literature teacher teaching you how to teach vocabulary to ESL learners. No matter how hard he tries, he’ll say stuff that just doesn’t fit.

Well I’ve been in disagreement about someone who’s been put in a leadership position within the organization, namely, the person is part of a different “branch” of Christianity that is not evangelical and with which I have a hard time because of several of their doctrines they have that have no foundation in the Bible.

The funniest thing is that I was told today that I would be leading a Bible study with this very person!

I felt like I should simply not be part of the Bible study at all and let the person lead it herself. But I realized that it was a better idea if I co-led with the person. That way I can get to know the person better and hopefully know if the person is truly born-again, who knows. Also, I’ll try to filter the person’s teachings and point of views through the Word and hopefully make sure that our Bible studies reflect God’s Word and not beliefs taught by men.

I know it’ll be good for me in some ways, it’ll be interesting, frustrating and humbling, but I’m sure I’ll learn some stuff anyways. I don’t feel like I want to do it, but I believe I really should make sure I’m co-leading.

To be sure you can pray for me!

    C’est une bonne opportunité pour toi d’aiguiser tes connaissances de ce que tu crois et de backer tes argument avec la Bible. Tu va surement être souvent “on your toes”. Je vais prier pour de la sagesse et du tact avec l’autre leader.
