Don't listen to me- what do I know?

Don't listen to me- what do I know? April 22, 2005

In real life I could be anyone. No matter how well you feel you know me from my

blog writings its not possible to tell all kinds of really important
things. What do you know about how I relate to my wife and children if all
you know of me is this blog?

It worries me a little that many readers of blogs no doubt look to them for
their teaching more than their local church. The challenge for some no
doubt is that they attend a church who’s teaching appears to them not to be
biblically sound. I am sure many Christians continue to attend churches
that they believe teach error out of a misguided sense of loyalty. To
listen to online teachers and get ones teaching there may seem wise when
you feel that local preachers are in some way deficient.

If you are in that position, I would urge you to carefully consider your
position. As I have said before one of the joys of being in my church is
the joy of being pastored by my leader Tope Koleoso. Bloggers, book
authors and TV preachers cannot pastor you.

If you cannot honorably submit to the leadership of your local church,
perhaps it is time to leave. Whilst it is great to learn from blogging and
other means, if it is pulling you in a different direction to your church
you need to ask yourself am I reading too much of the wrong kind of blogs
or am I in the wrong kind of church?
