Relationships matter. Whether it is relationships with neighbors, coworkers, social clubs, or church leaders, the relationships that we have with other people matters. When a church leader does something that leads people astray or when a church leader abuses power or disappoints us in some way, the temptation is to write off the church. While church leaders need to be accountable for their behavior, we need to be careful in who and what we place our confidence in. Our confidence needs to be in God’s faithfulness, not in our spiritual leaders.
