Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I have to agree with Caston on this one, Bro.
Having a license or not having a license, even having one and then turning it in has nothing to do with keeping the unity of the faith.
Sometimes you have a change in direction in your life, such as I did a couple of years ago, and staying in the man-made organization that you joined just isn't the proper thing to do anymore.
Remember, God is a God of constant change and growth.........Elijah was fed by ravens while sipping from one of the only streams of water in the land at the time..........but, there was a time when the stream dried up, and the birds stopped delivering food, and it was time for a change. If he would have been stubborn, and stayed because that's the way "things always have been", not only would he have died, but he never would have met the widow who baked him a cake, and purchased sustenance for herself and her family. So, sometimes refusal to change doesn't bring blessing, it brings demise.
The difference is - is this a God driven change, or am I just sulking because things didn't go my way?
