Pastor Jim Grumbine's charitable attitude

Upon hearing about the unethical behavior toward a fellow pastor by the illustrious Wayne Spriggs, Jim Grumbine of Discovery Church.   um... what denomination is that again? OH Christian & Missionary Alliance... wonder why it isn't in the name of the church? I think I remember reading that suggestion in a book or article by Rick Warren....taking your denomination out of the name of the church... turns people off. I guess I can see why in this case.  A lot of YELLING GOING ON AT THIS CHURCH, APPARENTLY:

IT IS NOT MY DESIRE TO RECEIVE YOUR LIBELOUS AND TOXIC FAIRYTALES.

FURTHER, AS I HAVE NEVER COMMUNICATED WITH YOU AT ANY TIME FOR ANY PURPOSE, YOUR USE OF THIS PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS CONSTITUTES AN INVASION OF PRIVACY, AND I CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED IT THROUGH QUESTIONABLE MEANS.

YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE MY EMAIL ADDRESS FROM ALL FURTHER COMMUNICATION.

JAMES GRUMBINE

Um.. yeah those questionable means of communicating with other people who know you.  If contacting someone once or twice by email to plead with them regarding an injustice done, or warn them against spiritual danger, is that really an invasion of privacy?  In the latter case (warning against spiritual danger) the world might think so, but should Christians really play that card so easily?  Next thing you know that will be the defense of anyone who has Matt 18's church disciplinary process brought against them.

His phone number is available online.  I wonder if anyone who calls it with a message he doesn't want to hear is accused of violating his privacy?  Snail mail?  Violating right to privacy, surely!

A man who hardens his neck after much reproof Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy. Prov 29:1

Lord help us to submit to warnings and to stand up for the oppressed, even those who are being oppressed by those who call themselves brethren.
