@AmericanAir just sat on a plane trying to depart Chicago O’Hare 4 well over the 2 hour legal limit. Never offered snack or drink. Never updated as required by law. One person got a snack because she loudly complained while the rest of us waited patiently. Very disappointed.
Lord, help us not fear when drought comes— when the economy turns downward or when health fails or conditions change. Help us truly to put our roots down deeply in you.
Our source is not EXTERNAL; it’s ETERNAL.
@williamwolfe @sbcamendment What’s the problem if she’s not serving in an elder role? For those of us who are complementarians, we should encourage female leaders in all roles not specifically excluded by scripture.
@DavidRhoades@birdchadlouis Look for metrical song books. They’re psalms set to meter like a hymn. Some of the modern ones even use only familiar hymn tunes so it’s even easier to sing.
@CarissasNewLife@GinaEllis4@YoursINegritude Cedarville is not SBC. It was established by Presbyterians. Later (like the 50s) purchased by a group of Baptists. Only recently have Ohio Baptists entered a partnership but that only means they recommend Cedarville. Cedarville receives no money from the SBC. Independent college.
@krassenstein Truly, for clarification. Sasser was not a pastor. Depending on a church’s polity, an elder can be a layperson which the senior pastor of the church has confirmed was the case here. Sasser was a lay elder and a volunteer leader, not a pastor.
@erichoke If he wants to be a pastor, this is a great teachable moment. Politely explain that as a pastor, everyone wants your time. Pastors must figure out ways to balance that. As a part of my balance and to protect my family, I don’t reschedule after the third missed appt.
@_jake_n_bake__@DukeDivinity Fantastic! Do you plan to study as a residential student or distance? I actually personally know a couple members of the faculty.
@Nate_DeRochie @dmichaelclary Nice to meet you even if only virtually. Tim Jones at Grace was one of my best friends in High School. My grandparents still live in wellston and attend his church. Glad you’re there. Love my hometown.
Some young Christian leaders are convinced that they’ve got it all figured out. I laugh & confess I too was quick to condemn. I have the same standards. but with some age, I’m less likely to respond in anger & more likely to respond in compassion & sadness for our broken world.
