"If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." (Galatians 1:10)

I have the not pleasing men part down.

CS Lewis got the inspiration for The Screwtape Letters while his mind wandered during a boring sermon.

Who knows what works of art your sermon will inspire this Sunday.

@SeedOilDsrspctr "if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

@theattackofzach @ParsonPeeves it's funny until you realize it's real. Not sure any church tradition is totally immune from such stupidity.

@Herb_Nenninger it's tough out there

@RevReads289 this is one place on earth it's definitely ok if you don't fit in!

[Jeff Weddle @FailingPastor]

@Svigel I think you would be out of a job if they listened to that!

@NatePickowicz His bride are only saved people with the Holy Spirit. Local churches have lots of people in them who don't have the Holy Spirit, so there's some leeway here.

"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?"

"Imagine" is the Hebrew word often translated "meditate."

Lots of talk about meditation in the world today. If you meditate on God's Word, that's good. Everything else is just vain, stupid thoughts leading to rage.

@branthansen Who, Steve?

John Wesley on 1 Timothy 4:15

"Meditation is no other than faith, hope, love, joy, He that is wholly in these will be little in worldly company, in other studies, in collecting books, medals, or butterflies: wherein many pastors drone away so considerable a part of their lives."

@Exodus15_11 yeah, I'll just leave it with God.

The older I get and the more experiences I have,

The more Christian cliches and puff theology irritate me.

[Jeff Weddle @FailingPastor]

@DrDavidLAllen in your opinion, what's the best way to do this?

[Jeff Weddle @FailingPastor]

@TheBabylonBee if biblical prophecy was crystal clear we'd just screw it up.
1 Corinthians 2:7-8

[Jeff Weddle @FailingPastor]

@samhailes should be noted that churches that are doing what they are supposed to be doing don't make the news. Not that the American church is doing great, but the fact the news emphasizes the worst is probably not an accurate representation.

[Jeff Weddle @FailingPastor]

The Bible commands us to rejoice.

We have to be commanded to rejoice.

That's amazing.

@DudespostingWs I used to be a Cubs fan. I cried too.

[Jeff Weddle @FailingPastor]

@Svigel I've heard worse arguments.

[Jeff Weddle @FailingPastor]

If you want to serve the Lord,

It helps to actually do things that serve Him.
