Sir, what you have addressed is merely the superficial issue. Firstly, the women echoed what she said not to make you hear better but to show ideological solidarity. And you signaled your proverbial “washing your hands off” by saying your gospel has been rejected, dusting off your shoes. By whom? The collective who reverberated the sinful materialistic stance of the lady. But the deeper issue is this: You failed to rebuke such mindset and disposition. That’s the problem. That sequence should have naturally led to a sober moment where you sharply and cuttingly rebuke her and other women present. But the church laughed it off. And your dusted your shoes. Why? Jesus appointed you as a shepherd. Why then are you leaving the sheep to walk off the cliff? Did Paul leave the Galatians to their legalism? Did Paul leave the Corinthians to their debauchery? In fact Paul hinted to the Corinthians that he would appear harshly a third time if they didn’t changed. So, why did you give a soft landing for such ungodly attitude in the church? That, sir, is the problem. The elder of the church RULES. It’s rulership. You should have legislated biblical position in that situation with the authority of Jesus. But you didn’t. And there was a time you talked about young people dating married men. It was so casual. You mentioned it like such an acceptable premise to your point. Sir, it was baffling oo. And it is troubling. Again, you should have condemned those who date married men. Those are going to hell. Bible says so. But it was just a casual premise to your soft commentary. That’s the problem. A lack of ecclesiastical authority over God’s people.
