It's Time To Get Over It

I think in all things that requires growth, mentorship is expedient to that end. And with regards to leading flock, it is incumbent on leaders to care after Christ's sheep as Christ mentioned to Peter...it is a high responsibility and leaders need to be very mindful and not take it lightly or act haphazardly. Newborn believers, more often than not, need and depend on good mentorship...

You say you’ve been hurt by your pastor, and pulled out of the UPC, or all church attendance anywhere. You hate all pastors everywhere because they are all liars you say. And now you can’t trust anyone else to pastor you, so find a church that teaches truth. All Pastors are not cut from the same mold. You need a church and you need a pastor. So stop being so childish and grow up. We can’t hold grudges folks. It’s time to get over whatever the problem is. After all, aren’t you people adults? You sound so childish by starting all these silly threads demeaning the UPC and all Pastors too. It’s time to get over it and Get In A Church Somewhere.

It’s OK with most people if your boss dictates what we should wear. I know plenty who dress in uniform in order to hold a job, but He’s paying us to do this. That makes all the difference. It’s ok if our Boss expects us to report to work on time, and follow some form of standard. And we tolerate it if he gets on our case occasionally, after all he pays our salary, and that makes all difference in the world. We are willing to do lots of things we may not like in order to hold a job, but you will not allow our Pastor to lead you to Jesus.

While I agree with what you are saying "get over it". I just thought that I would point out, that children forgive and forget alot easier than adults.

Yeah -- that's true. My children are pretty quick to forgive.

Pr 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

Pr 17:9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends

Mt 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Mr 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

With a friendly reminder, however, that “...if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God." (Matthew 5)

"Recovery time" from a wound is pretty much dependent on the amount of damage that was done. Forgiveness can indeed take place, but there is no guarantee that it will be completely forgotten. I do not believe forgetting is synonymous with forgiving.

Some people recover mirculously from wounds and others take longer. There are a number of factors.

There are also some situations that folks will NEVER get OVER. They just have to get THROUGH.
