I email to apologise due to me getting 2 emails confused. My last email to you was in reply to 2 emails that I thought were from the same person.

I am terribly sorry.

I guess we cannot exhaust this subject.

In other words you are saying:

If we let His boundaries increase in our lives, we will be so happy, that absolutely nothing can mar our future.

simply to alleviate your confusion & conclude the conversation.

It would be my humble view that your whole dialogue is rooted from total assumption & absolute perception. You and I have no relationship with you assuming that I don’t listen to people who bring critique. I very much do as I am most passionate regarding learning in this journey of life. However, I don’t listen to the critical. Big difference.
The people I choose to listen to & speak into my life, & BCC, are people with proven track record & whom I know hear from God.
It is impossible to respond, even listen to critics &/ or negativity as it is overwhelming due to insecure & victim mindset. The volume of people who actually, get this Will, want us to fail is phenomenal.
Nehemiah chose not to listen to the critic as he was building the wall. He would have listened to advisors. Big difference.
Regarding perception, the people of BCC are absolutely passionate about Jesus & so am I. He rocks our world. With people putting Jesus as Lord & Saviour every week through the ministries of BCC I find it ashame that I’m having this conversation with someone I dont know because of your perception of someone you don’t know.
Will, I assure you, BCC is a very much bible based, Jesus centered & people loving church.
We have & regularly invite some of the nations leading preachers, pastors & consultants to BCC. All of whom are free to say what they see. Thus far, all have celebrated the wonder of what God is doing here. It is my prayer that our heart stays close to Jesus & our spirit stays fresh from stale religion to ensure that Jesus can continue to build His house.

Its easy to be a critic Will. It takes a lot more to be an encourager.

Like I say, your daughter would love it here. Honest. The living stones that make up this house are thriving. It is the closest thing I’ve seen to what I read about in the Acts of the Apostles. That isn’t arrogance or dismissive of other churches. It is frightening & humbling that we are so privileged to be involved with such a great work of God.

Maybe we’ll meet sometime & celebrate the goodness of God together over coffee.

Nice talking to you Will.
Have a blessed day.

your daughter would be most welcome at BCC.

thank you for your email.

Have a blessed day.

James.

thanks for your question. I will try and answer it as best I can.

I would never criticise another. This is a from a life time of watching where cricitism predominately comes from & how criticism can damage other peoples’ genuine desire to fulfill that which they are called to build. Criticism tends to come from anything other than a desire to be constructive.
If somebody who I was in relationship asks for advice and allows me to speak into their life then, in love, i would speak words that are aimed at building up and inspiring them to better & bigger things.
Our words have the power of life & death so I choose not to knock others down but build others up.
For me to justify criticsm would be saying my opinion on a subject out ways the opinion of another. It doesn’t.
If I am not invited to speak into a situation I don’t because it is none of my business.
I think ‘opinion’ is over rated & I have enough to do minding my own business & not commenting on others.
No, I don’t justify ‘criticism’ but I champion ‘encouragement’. I want people to succeed, I don’t want to knock them down but build them up.
I hope that helps.
