I have problems getting others in my church to live it out, sometimes. Strike that. I did spend about 3 days mourning the recent departure of a family that moved from our church. Then I realized that as much as I loved and appreciated them, there was nothing I could do and that where they were was between them and God. As for my role as overseer, I challenge them to live Biblically, but otherwise I realize that they are not under my "control." I don't have rights over the people of my congregation, rather, I am there to serve them. Mike,

As for my role as overseer, I challenge them to live Biblically, but otherwise I realize that they are not under my “control.” I don’t have rights over the people of my congregation, rather, I am there to serve them.
