@YourCalvinist Agree, along with that I instructed my youth pastor from the start that there will be no student baptisms outside of the presence of the church body.
@Corinthian29181@CryptoMikli “For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil”1 Tim 6. Wealth so easily makes a person become arrogant and self-centered. It’s not be about the amount of money but what you do with it. Hearts are captured by it and you don’t have to be olsteen rich
@Wendi_Irlbeck@HQNewsNow@realDonaldTrump@Paula_White Paula white is his “Biblical Counsel”. So that says a lot. However, the president is not a pastor and so I don’t judge him by that standard. We know he’s a narcissist but he’s the best option that could win to stand up for America.
@atx_freethought@howertonjosh@jason_howerton Well that’s harsh…All I’m saying is to be faithful to do 2 Tim. 4:2. Satan would love for pastors to be distracted by every “hot take” on the socials.
@joshkezer@howertonjosh@jason_howerton To be faithful to the truth about For and Jesus Christ. To declare God’s praises and His truth. This means to convince, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and teaching. This is love-2 Tim 4:1-2.
@howertonjosh@jason_howerton Yes this is my intention as well..However, the temptation for pastors can be to turn into a “hot-take” preacher and respond with knee jerk reactions at every cultural popular issue on news or socials.
@GraceOvrDespair@howertonjosh@jason_howerton It’s tempting to turn into a “hot take” pastor every time a cultural issue (albeit a sinful one) gets alot of attention on the socials. My desire as a pastor is that Christians will seek the whole council of God’s Word in daily prayer and study, to stop with knee jerk reactions.
@GiaMMacool@CoachDanGo Yes 🙌. However, it is reversed in my marriage. But what can you say to a your wife that’s birthed kids and has the baby flab from the stretching? Another excuse is not enough time for exercise.
@CreedConfession@Protestia Hebrews 13:17 may be in view here but nevertheless that passage taken in context is about speaking on the authority of God’s Word. This garbage 🗑️ is outside of God’s Word and is about man’s authority and cult personality.
@Protestia I notice A lot of these progressive “pastors” aside from their content they spew have horrible delivery…it’s such a lecture. It’s not even engrossing it’s a nice and tidy little speech. If you’re going to be heretical at least be motivating.
