Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.26,0:00:03.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do members of a church \Nhave responsibility
Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.12,0:00:05.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to alert the pastors when they see
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.14,0:00:07.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,divisions arising in the church?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.72,0:00:10.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How important is communication
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.80,0:00:13.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the sheep with the shepherds
Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.04,0:00:17.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in order to maintain unity in the church?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.46,0:00:20.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Clint: Well, when there's a report
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.30,0:00:21.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,given to a pastor,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.81,0:00:27.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's very much different than one person
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.26,0:00:31.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,reporting to another person \Nin the congregation.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.21,0:00:34.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm thinking along the \Nlines of gossip or slander -
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.05,0:00:36.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things like that that are not good.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.48,0:00:38.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But nonetheless, there are times
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.82,0:00:41.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when a pastor may be \Noblivious to something
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.30,0:00:43.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's going on in the church
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.86,0:00:45.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it could be very helpful
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.54,0:00:48.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in heading it off at the pass
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.21,0:00:53.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or dealing with it before \Nit becomes a major issue,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.09,0:00:58.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for him to know that.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.02,0:01:00.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think of the Apostle Paul.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.51,0:01:03.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1 Corinthians 1 -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.56,0:01:06.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we've been informed by Chloe's people
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.56,0:01:09.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that divisions exist he said there.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.98,0:01:12.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that's how he worded it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.14,0:01:14.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here was a case where someone -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.29,0:01:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chloe's people - came to the apostle
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.00,0:01:20.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and alerted him something was going on.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.89,0:01:23.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In another place, "it's been reported
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.48,0:01:25.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that there's immorality among you,"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.73,0:01:29.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he said in 1 Corinthians 5.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.08,0:01:32.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In another place, 1 Corinthians 11,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.09,0:01:38.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he speaks about another \Nreport of division.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.96,0:01:44.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there are occasions when that's helpful
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.11,0:01:45.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think maybe a duty.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.40,0:01:47.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Someone might be duty-bound
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.66,0:01:51.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to say something to the pastor.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.53,0:01:55.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there's a fine line\Nbetween tattle-telling
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.35,0:01:59.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or being a gossip there.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.43,0:02:01.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we have to definitely \Nbe on guard against that.
