@karlykingsley I agree. But I would have said the same thing about politicians flying private planes and bemoaning pollution and global warming. All the while telling the average citizen to cut back.
@KyleJSwanson@LeadingReport You can’t remove politicians who lie.
You wouldn’t have any politicians in either party left to make life worse for the rest of us.
@jasonkovacs Worship pastor for more than 37 years no sabbatical. It was not a thing every pastor did until recently. I now lead worship at a small church and work a job to support my daily needs.
I wonder how Spurgeon or Calvin or even Paul would answer such a question.
Of course God will give us more than we can handle. For some of us, it's the only way we'll discover how much we need Jesus. For others, the only way we'll develop a heart of empathy and compassion. For others, the only way we'll realize the brevity of life and nearness of heaven
If you missed Pastor James' message from Sunday, you'll want to go back and take a look. It deals with a particularly relevant topic. Watch here: https://t.co/O2fponBVDw
Planting new churches is (1) an irreplaceable way to bring unchurched people to faith, (2) an irreplaceable way to renew existing churches, (3) a crucial way to develop new Christian leaders in a city, (4) the best way to reach new generations, new immigrants, new people groups.
@DerwinLGray I was on staff at a church in Virginia Beach where the pastor has for decades preached other peoples sermons and tells the stories as if they happened to him. The state association never said a word and the church listens every Sunday as he plagiarizes. Colossians 3:9-10
It has been a joy to journey through the Minor Prophets each Sunday. These short books with unfamiliar names and places point us to the character of God and the promise of his judgment and salvation. Watch this week's sermon on the book of Nahum: https://t.co/rvFcnrwFUM
