Metacrock,

One other thing and this is the thing that I find very sad about CARM. It is easy to come away with a bad attitude when one sticks around CARM too much. There is so much bickering there and the love of the Lord does not shine through from the leadership at CARM. This is not the way it should be. When we are correcting others we need to do it in a gentle way remembering that the brother or sister in Christ belongs to us. In the body of Christ we are joined together and when we strike out at another brother in Christ, we are hurting our own selves. We are also being disobedient and God doesn’t bless disobedience. I would pray that the spirit that is prevalent at CARM would change and that there would come a spirit of humility and brokenness. God promises to lift up the broken vessel who is humble. He also promises to resist the proud. It is to our benefit to check our spirit and deal with a prideful spirit. It is not Christ-honoring to have a consistent attitude of attacking other Christians over secondary matters of faith.
