See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;I don't know what exactly is meant by "no one comes short of the grace of God." Is it that everyone should be gracious like God has been to us, or that no one should fail to do what's necessary to be rewarded His grace? I'd think it's the former, but given this is talking to the Hebrews the possibility of the latter is still niggling at me.
I wonder, am I bitter? Is what's happened to me at church become bitterness, or just genuine concern for the direction of the church? As much as I'd like to say it's only concern, I'm having a lot of trouble keeping my negativity in check when it comes to the church's leadership right now.
