The church building is a place for church members to gather. And for those seeking God. It's not a moose lodge for the click to gather. Its not a social event. Its not a place for business people to find customers. Its not a place to make a fashion statement. And its not a place to go take a nap.

Someone said the pastor should have spoken to these people in private. The problem is this... if he does that... those people go tell their friends what a terrible pastor he is because he said something "mean" to them. And the most likely expand on the story. And then their friends tell someone else. And it just "cliques" along. You know... there is no doubt what he told them at this point.

Ever read Acts 5?

It’s definitely not what he said, to me. It’s definitely the angry, mean, finger pointing, public way he said it. Like someone else pointed out, there’s way too much I, I, I and me, me, me in his tirade.
