]]> Comment on Can a Christian Church be abusive? by Seth Pickens http://sdwhiteonline.com/2008/08/12/can-a-christian-church-be-abusive/comment-page-1/#comment-38 Seth Pickens Wed, 13 Aug 2008 20:02:38 +0000 http://sdwhiteonline.com/?p=79#comment-38 I have a very good friend who was a member of that church, or one that was very similar to it. He knew that a lot of their ways didn't make sense, but he just couldn't separate himself for a while. Advice and accountability from those more spriritually advanced is a hallmark of Christian discipleship, but some churches take it way too far. One of my favorite things as a spiritual leader is when a high school kid or new Christian says something wise and penetrating that I never considered before in all my years of school, preaching, etc. I love giving people advice, but people have refused it before and ended up better off as a result. Can't be mad at that, can I? Stay on the straight and narrow and the right teachers will come to you as you're ready. All the best.
