如果我不同意牧师所说的，我该怎么办？

【1】祷告求神使自己谦卑，并且对话语有正确的理解。

【2】就你所不同意的话题，向一位可信赖的、熟悉圣经、敬虔的朋友询问。听听他们的解释，并且对以下的可能性保持开放心态：你误解了牧师所说的；牧师所说的合乎圣经，是你的想法需要作出调整。

【3】你所找的“可信赖、敬虔的朋友”应当也是牧师的朋友，他能够在舌头上保护和爱这位牧师。这位朋友向来以和平的心维护在圣灵里的合一。不要去找那些会因为你的话而对牧师心存猜忌、喜欢教会纷争，或是因生性疑心而走偏的人。

【4】如果你仍然有问题或困惑，你可以温柔、谦卑地来请你的牧师解释清楚他的意思。

【5】耐心听完牧师的解释之后，可能你还是不赞同他所说的。如果这样，你可能需要谦卑地接受：在这一点上，你有不同看法的事实。保留自己不同的观念，为着神在很多人的生命中用不同的方式来使用牧师的教导来感恩，然后继续甘心乐意的顺服他的带领，并从他的教导中得益处。

【6】不过，在极少数的情形下，对于你牧师的教导，或在某件事上的做法，你可能强烈的不认同以致于你无法继续心甘情愿的接受他的带领。在这种情形下，最好的方法可能是先和你的牧师讨论你的去意，然后安静地在爱心中寻找下一间教会。

What should I do if I disagree with something my pastor said?

【1】Pray for humility and understanding.

【2】Ask a trusted, godly friend who knows the Bible well about the statement. Listen to their explanation and be open to the possibility that you either misunderstood, or that the statement the pastor made is biblically correct and you’re the one whose thinking needs to adjust.

【3】In choosing a “trusted, godly friend,” chose someone who you know is a friend to the pastor, and will exercise his or her own tongue to protect and love the pastor. Choose someone who is known for being eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Do not speak to someone who would be tempted to suspect the pastor, or would delight in disunity, or would be naively led astray by doubts.

【4】If you still have questions or concerns, then gently, humbly ask your pastor to explain what he meant.

【5】After patiently hearing your pastor’s explanation of what he meant, you may find that you still disagree with what he said. If this happens, what you should probably do is humbly accept that you see things differently at this point, resolve to keep your disagreement to yourself, thank God for all the ways he has used this man’s teaching in the lives of many, and cheerfully continue to submit to your pastor’s leadership and profit from his teaching.

【6】However, in rare cases, you might find that you disagree so strongly with something your pastor teaches, or that you disagree on a matter of such consequence, that it would hinder you from contentedly submitting to his leadership. In a case like this it may be best to quietly, lovingly find another church after discussing your intent to leave with the pastor.
