Am I a Church Bully?

Sometimes as a 'church person' I can come across as a pushy sales person.....

who is really only concerned with my own ego and self gratification...

 'Get them to MY church so I can put another notch in MY spiritual belt'.     

I push MY God agenda rather than loving people now, 
right where they are.

I point my imperfect finger at imperfect people.

I end up pushing others away from the very loving God I want them to know.

Why?  Because I want them to know Him on MY TERMS.

I end up angry and frustrated and resentful because others
are not doing what I want them to do.  


WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

Look to God and pray.
Concentrate on my own need for God's correction
and direction in my own life.

Ask to keep my eyes fixed on Him and the
changes, 
life, and hope
that He is working in my own life.

STOP POINTING FINGERS!

"Look to Me and be saved".   

When I, as a church person, focus more on my own agendas,
rather than on loving people in the Now,
AS THEY ARE,
then I am just self centered and bullying under the guise of church.
