Shepherding with Wisdom

By Stephen Cavness

I knew that if they were not convinced in their hearts that this was biblical and the right move for our church, then it would not last, and as soon as I was no longer the pastor, a day that will come for all of us, regardless of the why, they would simply revert to the way things used to be. It would be like the hymnal situation, but worse. It would almost certainly make it much more difficult for any subsequent pastor to lead the church to make that change, one that they had already tried but did not stick.
