Non-Mistakes
Through the course of ministry I have learnt: "Many mistakes are not mistakes." Also: "If it seems that way it is that way." What I mean is that, early in ministry, I put a lot more down to people's mistakes, or to mere appearances. Later in ministry, through experience, I put a lot more down to "this present evil age" (Galatians 1:4). Which is not to say that things may not be mistakes, or mere appearances. OBSERVATION: What prompts the post is that a commissioner wrote to me to say that some
documents got lost. But they went missing from a
bundle -- and were critical to the bundle. A mistake? Under the circumstances, a curious one.
