Discernment or dominance?

Yes yes yes, church is for the broken as well as the well…..oh man! How did we go so wrong????God never judges a book by its cover and neither should we. If people are there trying to learn about God, then you should welcome them with open arms. You never know where people are at in their walk and who knows, maybe you could help others in an area that you're more experienced in. We are supposed to help each other. Rejecting people and pulling away is only if people are living in sin and they refuse correction and still refuse correction by church leadership but that's the only instance.
Using "wisdom" or "discernment" as an excuse just because of the way someone looks, is not even the right context and it's only showing a self-righteous heart that they think they're better than others and feel better about themselves to put others down. We need to always remember where we started when we decided to walk with Christ, and should be helping others along, not make them feel left out if they are genuinely just starting out.
I used to go to a church that literally wanted to change out the youth pastor because people got offended that teens would show up in gothic clothes and tattoos. People were inviting their friends but some how, that made others uncomfortable.. like, WHAT? That is the point people!!! Church is EXACTLY where they need to be!![]()
