And, yet, in the typical local faith community (or church organization), leaders are constantly making compromises in order to keep the peace amongst members, and sometimes, even, to keep the finances flowing.
And, those same leaders say one thing behind the pulpit, and live out an entirely different thing!
I guess I’ve heard too many people talk about not compromising who are, themselves, the biggest compromisers.
I agree, you never win when you compromise!
(Adam this statement isn’t directed at you, it’s directed at anyone who wants to lead me.) Show me, don’t sit in the church office and tell me!
