I can imagine the apostle Paul getting a text or a phone call from a brother in Christ saying did you hear what preacher so-and-so did? I just cant believe it! Paul was quick to handle heresy with biblical principle but he didnt waste valuable time sorting through every difference of opinion he came across. Its simple really. If you dont like what another mans ministry does just dont support it or promote it. One thing is for certain, though, and that is that we were not ordained by God to pick fights with everybody about it nor were we granted permission to gossip about it. Im convinced that only the spiritually blind and carnally critical have the time to do so any way because Ive lived there and thats what I was. It was a wasted life. In fact, heres what Paul meekly stated about it. Philippians 1:15-18 (KJV) Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: [16] The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: [17] But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. [18] What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
