Comments on: Monday Devotions - Receiving Correction as a Gift http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/03/monday-devotion/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:15:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Wes Crawford http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/03/monday-devotion/#comment-316 Wes Crawford Tue, 21 Mar 2006 23:38:45 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com?p=115#comment-316 Bob, this post is fantastic. I am the leader of a team of missionaries in Mexico, and I shared it with my team today. We were all impressed anew with the glory and sufficiency of our great Savior, and we were shown of our need of him in new ways we had not previously considered precisely in that manner. Thank you for modeling to us how the doctrine of the cross of Christ is not simply of academic interest, only to be considered when discussing a survey of theology, but is applicable for every part of our lives and in every moment of our day. All praise be to God, and may we humbly and faithfully submit to the correction he sends our way, always remembering that he is working for our eternal good. Bob, this post is fantastic.

I have recently been confronted by a wise, spititually mature member of our choir asking of an individual who has been absent a great deal lately. I had written an encouragement letter to the absentee which was misrepresented as a shape-up or ship-out letter. Weeks earlier had I been confronted about this letter, I would have been defensive, blaming, and judgemental not only to the one confronting me be to the absentee who "must be looking for excuses to be unfaithful." Thankfully, God has already been dealing with me in this area. When I reviewed the letter I had sent, keeping in mind some of the personal issues the absentee had been going through, I discovered that I may have been a little too impersonal and might easily have been misunderstood. Your post is encouraging that others in this area of ministry have to be "corrected" from time to time. Thank you for your post.
