Do not be deceived.
A leader can look the part (1 Sam. 9:2),
have a calling (1 Sam. 9:16-17),
be anointed (1 Sam. 10:1),
have an established resume (1 Sam.13:1),
and still veer wildly off course (1 Sam. 13:13-14).
All it takes is fixing one’s eyes on the wrong thing.
Never forget that it is by their fruit that you shall know them (Matt. 7:15-17).
Good morning Bryan,
Wanted you to know the answers I received in prayer about Daryl. It certainly appears you are in the front row.
Daryl is like a Pharisee. He walks in his own righteousness and wants a position. The Lord then told me to make sure I did the same thing He did when he was on the cross. “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.” Daryl also does not know what he is doing.
I do forgive Daryl but at this point he has confessed and repentance must follow. This is the tough part because he currently looks to you locally. Until he wants fellowship with Christ and others first and foremost he is not seeing clearly.
Love you brother and we will pray for you to walk in wisdom and strength regarding this matter.

Thanks Brother – It has been, and continues to be a journey. This last step is one that I seriously doubted would ever happen, so I have to battle my own cynicism and remember that God can do exceedingly more than I can imagine. Blessings to you and Dana.
