Why do we as church leaders avoid confronting the demons who operate in our church?  Please note, I'm not talking about people here, but unclean spirits that operate!  (See Eph 6:12; For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.)


If we do not see or sense them,...

Why do we, as church leaders, treat you like you're a 40-year old child still living at home?  I'm really sorry we let you sit on your chuff, in the same seat each week, and never made you exercise or go outside to play with your friends.

What does it mean to puff up another?  Essentially, it's the way we inflate the ego of another beyond healthy and way more than is deserved.  Puffery can lead to feeling self-important; arrogant; pompous.  Yikes!
