| Publisher Description: WHY THIS BOOK?This book is written to tell us what we do not want to hear. The Bible says that in the end time, men shall develop itching ears and go about looking for where they will only tell them what they want to hear. Little wonder today that the world is awash with entertaining messages. Comedians have taken the centre stage in many congregations while pop music and the like have replaced solemn sacred music. The truth is so sugar coated that the little vinegar left is lost.Christian maturity teachings and discipleship programs have taken the back seat where it has not slipped out through the window. Hardly do you hear of bible studies and Sunday school again.Some pastors are engaged in the hundred meters record breaking dash of building large empires within a short time and with a large network of branches In the process of doing that, ministerial selection, upgrading and ordination standards get inevitably compromised No longer do we wait for the trees and leaves to start shaking and know that God has gone ahead of us. We just go because we have a target. They say when God is not in an effort, it is nothing but a rat race and rats almost inevitably end up in the belly of cats. The result is that today, we are producing babies who presume to be masters. We have people who not only think that they know more than their mentors but who rush to the social media to not just criticize but lambast their teachers. Things have not only fallen apart, falcons can no more hear the falconer, as W. Yeats puts it.Yet, there is always a remnant. There can still be found a few who genuinely know or sincerely believe that their pastor, teacher or mentor is wrong and who seek to know what to do when the leader actually takes a misstep or appears to do so. The possibility of ministerial error cannot be dismissed with a wave of the hand because of the gross inefficiencies and anomalies in our discipleship programs and growth quests as earlier enunciated in this write up.It is therefore for the sake of these searching few that this book seeks to provide answer to the pressing question of: "what should a Christian do when he or she thinks or knows that the pastor is wrong?" |
