Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:10
"When Timothy comes, don't intimidate him. He is doing the Lord's work, just as I am."
OAP:
Timothy was a young'n. I don't think the Corinthians knew who he was. But they knew and loved Paul, and Paul knew, loved and endorsed Timothy. But there probably was temptation to have hostility towards Timothy because they didn't know him, and pretty much for that reason alone.
Why are we so afraid of things we do not know? I have many times acted wrongly towards people I wasn't comfortable with, even though they were carrying a good message or whatever. And just because I don't know or may not agree with the ways that a person goes about doing God's work (like the C28 people) they are still doing what God wants them to do.
Jesus, I am sorry for treating your Children with such disdain. For not giving them a fair change, for being overwhelmed with pride. Spirit, mold my attitude towards those people, especially when I go to college, so that I may build strong relationships and you would be seen.
Also, give Day7 as a whole an open mind when the new pastor comes in, and be accepting of him. You've set them up well. You're the best.
