Matthew Henry comments: “Heavenly wisdom is without partiality. The original word, adiakritos, signifies to be without suspicion, or free from judging, making no undue surmises nor differences in our conduct towards one person more than another. The margin reads it, without wrangling, not acting the part of sectaries, and disputing merely for the sake of a party nor censuring others purely on account of their differing from us. The wisest men are least apt to be censurers.”

It’s truly quite fascinating how Scripture “painfully” and accurately reveals and exposes all of our deficiencies and failures, if we are willing to humbly listen and learn with contrite hearts.

“By doing so, they are not raising leaders, but followers, who do not know how to stand independently on their own and think critically for themselves. Also, their imposition stifles and frustrates able young leaders, many of whom eventually leave in order to get out from under their leader’s controlling leadership.”

This succinctly describes the self-labeled “crisis” ubf is facing.
