In a case like this I see the humanity in the pastor. I see a pastor who is human. He gets angry, gets mad and rants. I certainly do not want to be so quick to find fault with him, because after all I too am human. I have even sinned. I may have even sinned today, I think. It reminds me of a pastor who threatened to kick a guys butt because he was disgracing church property. I again do not fault this pastor. Was what this pastor was doing right? Probably not the textbook definition of Christlikeness, but I also recall a passage where Jesus "took care of business" too. Matt. 21:12 Also check out the Kinetic Church link on the blog. It shares an awesome way God used the theft of their trailer into something pretty cool. I obviously take a different look at situations like this.
