Now this scripture and the one I posted just prior are core to my attitude about being called a teacher.
Ross, I have very little fear that I will cause you to sin or fall away, and thus, I fear no condemnation even should I falsely interprete the word to you. However, for those who are spiritual babes, subjects I am likely to delve into are prone to be misunderstood, and I could lead them astray if I am allowed to be seen as a teacher.
That I do not feel is splitting hairs or being too esoteric. I see that as quite straightforward.
Teri, I thank you for your compliment, and did understand that aspect from the start, but was poor in acknowledging it. Forgive for for that.
Your sometimes confused brother,
Mel

Mel - you remind me so much of my brother, who just wants to do the work of God, but seems to continually battle with pride. Not that he is a prideful man, but rather that he never wants to come across as prideful. In that, he tends to come across as prideful in his own humilty to the point that I would just want to smack him on he side of his head.
All I want to say is that God knows your heart, so never worry about what others think of you. And when my brother realised that, he mellowed out a bit. And still, he is not prideful, but now comes across as naturally humble instead of "put on" humble. And that has made a huge difference. And should you find pride creeping in, I'm sure you will do something about it before God does.
Be blessed.
