Ever been a group where one person's temperament or lack of people skills can spiral a group out of control? Isn't it one of the most annoying things ever? It is and it is also destructive. Sometimes people lack tact, empathy, or candor. You can handle those things, but when one person can tantrum and disrupt the groove or nature of the group, what do you do? How do you deal with it?
I am annoyed by grown folks who have childish behavior issues. I am even more annoyed when these people wreak havoc on a group and there is no accountibility. We all know someone who skates through all their Satanic behavior without so much as a second glance. It is even worse when the person is a so called Christian who loves God. It always makes me wonder how long have they subtly worked their own agenda and hurt other folks in the process. FYI-I am working on a blog about the church and the shenanigans that occur there.
As women, we are involved in various groups or organizations at some time or another and we meet and deal with all types of personalities because of it. I've witnessed many disguised Christians damage other Christians in order to serve their own needs and desires, I've also met non-Christians who fit this bill. We do have a responsibility to check the individual in a firm but fair way. We also have to do it in a spirit of love. It is worse to let them continue on in their own self serving manner. If you check them, and their heart really was in the right place, you should be able to move forward peacefully. If not, you know the deal. They were exactly who you saw act out.....a self serving narcissistic individual that needs to be stepped up on your prayer list.
