It
has come to my attention that some Christians filter who may and may
not gather with them during such times as a home group or bible study.
The reason is the new person would change the dynamics (e,g, learning
stlye, maturity, gender, age, personality, denominational background,
etc) of the group or not cope with the existing dynamics. Therefore
their presence would be considered disruptive.
Whether or not this sounds reasonable, is it acceptable?
Does God treat people this way? Did Jesus when on earth? What if you did this happened to your children?
Imagine
saying to someone "Sorry, you cannot come pray and seek God with us
because we are concerned you presence will disrupt the established
group. We are doing things you may not be able to understand and we
don't want to make the effort to change how we operate."
How you would respond if someone told you that?
May
our doors be open to anyone willing to seek Him. Regardless of
denominational or ideological background. Regardless of age, gender,
socio-econics, or level of spiritual maturity.
May our minds and heart be open to Him so that we do not consider ourselves more important than others.
