as Christians we are told over and over again to leave things for Christ to deal with
but what happens when you are dealing with a person in authority who consistently use their position of power to settle personal scores just because they know they can get away with it and is or are getting away with it?
especially if they are Christians who knows the Truth and suppose to act with a degree of shame?
forgiveness is essential obviously, because carrying unforgiveness only destroy us.
However , does forgiveness on our part means we stay passive and allow those Christians in authority to keep hurting others? assuming confronting them is not going to work because that approach has already been tried and failed partly because this Christian is not accountable to anyone as he or she is in the ultimate authority within this organization or the owner of the organization?
