A Very underserved topic in the Church. First entire sermon I've ever seen or heard of about being Dismissive....both to God and to your Neighbor. The Sin of Omission would be above this topic on a pyramid diagram, because Dismissiveness primarily is what we do Not do that we should, per the Book of James "right thing to Do and does Not do it, it is Sin"
DISMISSIVENESS Part.1
* Enlarging the heart in respect to God and others needs
* Generosity towards the Maker and the Neighbor
* Greed plus Dismissive spirit.
*Perspective, Mindset that Dismisses reality (Now, "this night")
*Truth of earthly abundance. What does it gain? For God or for others?
*Money is the only Blessing-Abundance?
* Avoiding uncomfortable realities (suffering) of this life, not just Death as most men avoid the most.
Not only suffering shortness of money, even sickness, and what other many avoidances uncomfortable for daily life?
* Pride is foundation of the Dismissive spirit
* Dismissiveness is the Affect of a Cause (sown seed) of poor stewardship. Lax, non-anticipatory minds thoughts, of God and others good.
Stewardship is not only of money or material things, but time and brainwork
* Dismissiveness in any application, is also Recklessness and Neglect
"He who knows the right thing to do and does Not do it, to him it is sin"
* Dismissiveness is Sin against the Greatest-Foremost Commandment, unto God and Neighbor.
Harm to them, hate of them.
* Genuine care for God and Neighbor?
Then be Genuine Care-Full-ness
"Consider how....." (Heb 10:24), not wait until the Neighbor or God is brought upon the mind from without, but Initiate-Consider on own from within.
"See me"? No, "see others" Phil 2:3-5 as God "considered men on His own initiative, while they considered Him not and still yet sinners against Him who is Holy" Rom 5:8
* Dismissiveness is God ordained opportunity to Bless, Grace on others ignored
* The easiest, even cheap cost of Blessings/Grace is encouraging note in someone else's time of need/suffering.
This too is only the "minimum". If it cost little, what value is it?
* "Social Distancing", physical separation? Not an excuse for being out of Unity (contact) and Heart yearnings with brethren, the Body
Especially those in Vulnerable places and conditions.
"Weep with those who weep...." the broken hearted.
Contrary to...."go in peace, I will not feed you or give you a coat, praying for you sick/vulnerable brother, as Satan may be seeking to destroy you, your faith in your crisis need. I want my comfort not in your mess."
James 2:16
* Dismissiveness towards a crisis, not own but anothers, sins in the Omission to Obey. Obey to be used of God providentially to distribute the grace of God in their time of need and God's choice to help them in some way He sees fit.
"When one is weak, another is strong for the moment to lift him up."
Ezek 3:17-21
Rom 12:15
Gal 6:2
1 Cor 12:26
Eccl 4:9-12
* Dismissiveness Rejects God's Transforming Sanctification for Oneself
* Dismissiveness is Rejection of Submission, to God, or any process or person (and their needs for you to meet) placed in your life while the weak one and their needs were not even on your mind. But God by the Holy Spirit works amd initiates and brought to Light and Presentation of the matter, as He is Omnipotent and Omniscient for their needs and your Transformation/Sanctification in the engagement with their suffering.
"Fellowship of suffering" is how man gets glimpses into His undue suffering for His sons.
* Dismissiveness is not rooted with a holy grasp on the Facts of the crisis or matter, nor even concerned how and why it has come to Glorify God and be good for men involved on both sides of the crisis.
* Dismissiveness stems from selfish ungodly concern with Self comfort, Business As Usual, "You mind your business, I'll mind mine"
How does Redeemer Medford afford you to not have to work to support your family and peruse SM rather than give nonstudying time for College and Seminary to your wife and children? Do you ever go back and read your profile posts for any inadvertent errors or is that snarky Pinned post about Prov 26:4-5 deliberately twisted, absent, and mixed with another partial verse?
Sir, you don't want me to keep going about your naivety of Bible principles and doctrine foolishly exposed by your own mouth/posts.
Your review of my other posts, profile exposure and intent of the activity is not in the least similar or correlated to "like" Keith's. You are clearly a fan follower of his, that's fine, but the partiality and lacking elementary discernment is despicable for anyone of leadership "judged more strictly"
Not to mention you have not sought what gender or age or faith understanding of who you're deciding to engage so you can righteously speak to them in informed grace. Your profile and speaking to me hear displays modern-day self righteous Pharisee, assuming [some] academic Bible knowledge and a position affords you superiority and exclusion especially from that "stricter judgment" that actually would have you "be quiet" in over have of what you post and say.
Then she confesses her Sin of neglect of her husband and children, since that is what was happening with all the time certainly stolen from them in her trying to have a career and not be at home with these infants in their crucial early months.
This is literally child abuse in God's eyes every "Christian" mother who does this because she has a job/career.
She's Boasting, seeking validation in multiple ways, and is clearly Extremely naive baby in faith, IF she is truly. The repetitive exposing herself sensually and these posts as well, shows she is Very spiritually insecure and seeks attention and validation from men and the world/SM. It certainly sounds like she is textbook Cultural Christian and in a "nondenominational" Seeker Sensitive Man Centered church, with No Love of Christ or to "Shepherd My sheep"
Her husband will be a Cultural Christian if he pursues her in her immodest sexually immoral state as she is here. She is committing Gross Immorality, Lip Service, and Double Mindedness. Her faith and her worthless works of religion are Abhorrent to God in this state of living the Harlot Temptress. And @Protestia is naive at best (i.e. unworthy of profile and ministry to keep posting such wickedness) and a subscribed agent of Satan at worst for this post and all others alike

@HAnne01254673@Protestia And such Blockers think they've silenced, then they forget how they can Still be exposed for immature and unstable emotions. They think the Block hides something to not be seen again.
And when a "pastor" goes out of his way to comment on of all things Modesty of women, to affirm clear Immodesty, and is so unstable he has to publicly Brag that he didn't have any Pastoral response and "not take offense" as he is supposed to preach all to do, and Block....this is the sign and state of the mass of "shepherds" in America.
Notice his profile is absent of posting where and what church he leads, as many others do, because they don't Fear man because they generally don't engage in angering behavior to invite unsavory characters to seek to harm them. They speak and behave Above Reproach and let God handle the rare stragglers who have ill motives.
A pastor like this doesn't simply anger people with the purity of the Gospel that angers men, they likely go Off Board often in ways God ha no interest in protecting them from opponents.
@YourCalvinist Good self glory boast here. What does God have to say about it? "Do not even let left hand know what right hand is doing"
"Your boasting is not righteous, do you not know a little leaven leavens the whole lump?"

Standard Care is Not concerned with anything but making a Cash Cow out of Cancer Patients.
In Houston, right in same city as "#1 Cancer Treatment Center in America" (who obviously used Standard Care) has been a Nontoxic treatment for OVER 40 YEARS. Cured the Most sensitive and untouchable cancer in a human body, Childhood Brain Cancer.
Wake Up and pay attention and stop following the herd off the cliff, trusting Blind Guides of any subject.
The 11yr old girl Cured decades ago, not Remission. https://t.co/h65FaAZWpr
And 3yr old Cured, but the "Standard Care" rotted her brain into death. Autopsy said No Brain Tumor

Yes, she is. But instead you are not Like, but Are the one who "gives hearty approval of those who do such things" likely because you continue to dance and dabble in things that He abhors. Otherwise you'd call out ungodliness, In Love, and not Hate God in covering it up.
Your conscience is seared and eyes are blind, as you pick and choose what principles of God apply to you or to others-The Church.
And you're a "pastor"? and you boldly align with Spurgeon? And don't find her immodest? Sir your eyes of Holiness are so elementary, you're Way off bar to be Shepherding others, not even a daughter of your own.
May God rebuke you for so naive a mind and ignorance of His discernment and Spirit leading to Holiness, and have Mercy on you if you do have a daughter.
Why don't you quote John 7:24?
And why quoting yours out of context? That "quote" of yours 90% misquoted and used to shut up biblical calling out sin, because accountability for open public blatant sin even has to be tolerated nowadays or you'll hurt someone's feelings while you spit in Christ's wounds and press the thorns in His head deeper.
Wake Up! And "Flee sexual immorality"
