Rules of Thumb for Keeping Unity In Your Local Church – #6-10
05Mar
Some of the comments I saw on my first post in this series were interesting. I never imagined that controversy would be stirred up with this subject…
…ok, maybe I did. I figured there were some people who would try to interpret this as encouraging the destruction of doctrinal integrity. I also figured there were people who take themselves waaaay too seriously and see themselves as professional amateur theologian. Regardless -
Here are Rules of Thumb #6-10:
6. Learn to give up your rights for the rights of others.
7. There is no “corporate ladder” in the church. You do not get promoted based on what you know, who you know, or what you do.
8. True worship has nothing to do with the quality of the music, the talent of the singers, or the type of instruments played. (This applies to both “contemporary” and “traditional” persuasions)
9. Find a spiritual mentor who can be your friend and your confidant. Hopefully, this is your pastor.
10. Register your complaints with the pastor in private.

2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
