Looking for Excuses
Maybe I'm looking for excuses, but this article seems to provide me with the answers I've been looking for in the forgiveness and reconciliation department.
When I left my former church, it was clear that it had been led by a controlling person. It was definately in the early stages - with lots of potential for spiritual abuse. What this article tells me is that there may be no reconciling with the ones I left behind, UNTIL they get out from under that "philosophy". My job at this point is to pray for them. At some point in the future, they may see the control and legalism they have been under. THEN, we can talk.
I hope I'm right. This is the first thing that has made sense to me so far.
