Over the intervening 300 years, the New Testament’s mandates about being the multi-gifted, multi-functional, multi-part Body of Christ that builds up each other by gathering for ministry one to another ...
Had morphed by the 4th Century into pastor-centric, podium-focused institutional “services” with spectator seating that we now call “church.”
So tell me again how you figure to suddenly fix that entrenched, man-made system???

As Jesus said, speaking of the tradition-bound religious folk of His day:
"You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes ..." Matthew 13:14–15 (citing Isaiah 6:9–10)
"And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined... And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’" Luke 5:37–39
@Tony_Ray__@_MommyIsALawyer Directors do the same exact job as pastors but are women. That’s the only difference, no difference in job duties or calling.
It concerns me greatly that the SBC is trading churches with women who have the fruit of the Spirit, but the "wrong title," for male pastors who brazenly operate in the works of the flesh.
@DavidClosson It’s sad because to vote you must be in the room. Messengers aren’t able to take care of their children because they fear they might miss a vote.
Weird things about raising a PK- Tonight’s conversation “Bro you cannot hold the Bible while you’re peeing.” “Well can you read it while I poop?” #pkproblems#preschooler#tiredasamother
@micahfries We live in the Midwest. It’s almost 60 out. My 4 yr old is running around in short and a t shirt. He was so excited to play outside. 🫣Merry Christmas
@TornCartledge This whole thing has made me dislike the Hunt family more. They know exactly what they are doing. Giant money grab from themselves. They do not care about the average fan or their community.
Welp i messed up the cookies. Used margarine instead of butter so we got cake batter… Santa is getting a few slices of cake instead of cookies #momfail#tiredasamother#Christmas#santa
Jeff has planned out his food for the chiefs game tomorrow- rotelle cheese dip and a holiday Olie Pop. Start praying now for whoever has to sit next to him at the kids Christmas program tomorrow night.
