@dereklanemelton Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die. (Proverbs 23:13, NASB)

@PastorCroft And the elders should put them under church discipline. The Scriptures are clear that division is a SERIOUS sin. Titus 3:10 says that person should be warned twice, and if they are unrepentant, put out of the church. Left alone, that type of behavior grows and destroys churches.

@dereklanemelton That is how I feel after 4 nights of VBS ...

Thank God for the valiant men who forged our freedom by blood, sweat, and death. May we equal their gallantry to maintain what they won!

"Learn a lesson from the work in the New Hebrides. Plant down your forces in the heart of one tribe/race where the same language is spoken. Work solidly from that center, building up with patient teaching and lifelong care a church that will endure."--John Paton (1824-1907)

Jesus isn't campaigning to be Lord. He isn't trying to be Lord. Jesus IS Lord!~@SingletonDon

The gospel is not the cure for this world. The gospel is to build His church in the world, which is the best thing we can do for the world. Jeff Noblit

@_JRHall Worry is not a fruit of the spirit either. Both are a sign of not trusting in God.

@DrOakley1689 @dereklanemelton Doctor ... If you are going to carry that knife, then I think you have to wear books like Derek. It all goes together. Instead of a coat and tie, it’s a BIG knife and boots. Or to be really cool, wear the knife and boots AND a coat and tie !!!
