I just do not understand some current leadership structures (whether they be churches, ministries, networks) who do not welcome healthy dialogue, debate, discussion, and at times even differences concerning said belief systems and practices.
***In this post, I am not referring to individuals who are moving in the accuser of the brethren, sowing discord through being nasty, combative, hateful, and purposely stirring up ...division in a body of believers***
I have recently been seeking the Lord with questions such as, “Why do we have such a hardcore need for those within our churches, ministries, and networks to look like, talk like, and act like us? Where has the variety and diversity gone in the body of Christ? Why can’t we be friends and connected even if we don’t see eye to eye on everything?”
What’s worse, is that in many churches, ministries, and networks, if someone is found to have a difference of opinion, a disagreement etc, the leadership turns into the MOB and MAFIA against them.
Yes, I just said that. Many leadership teams of churches, ministries, and networks treat saints who don’t 100 percent agree with them on everything like the mob and mafia. These saints are marked and put on a hit list. Emails, phone calls, and text messages are sent out to warn others of their “rebellion, arrogance, and pride” when really that’s not the case at all. They will begin passive aggressively attacking these individuals on social media etc. After the secret gossip and slander is unleashed, then the church, ministry, and network leadership mob and mafia releases their minions to character assassinate, bring false accusation, and stir up panic in the body of Christ toward these saints.
I believe that a cross-pollinating is coming to the body of Christ that we so desperately need! We must learn how interact with people who don’t believe everything we do and actually mature to the point where we enjoy engaging in healthy debate, dialogue, and discuss these issues.
The mob and mafia mentality among leadership in churches, ministries, and networks is immature, full of witchcraft, and needs to cease. Leaders who constantly shut down saints with questions, differences, and concerns and are always warning their networks and churches of certain individuals could be struggling with a severe case of paranoid jealousy and insecurity. As a church leader myself and someone that has been involved in numerous networks and church leadership groups, what has been written above is not tongue and cheek, it’s the truth!
The church, ministry, and network leader mob and mafia is about to put a hit out on me for this post,
