@WSMV Memphis area resident here. Never would have visited this dump but I would appreciate best suggestions to show how much we despise his stance. What is most effective.
A refreshing attitude our assistant pastor has. Why does it take a man born elsewhere to convey the blessing most of us take for granted? He genuinely loves his new American home. God using him in a mighty way to remind us who we owe our blessings to. #pcaga#godbless
@JoshuaBarzon I love expository preaching. It eliminates preferential selection and some difficult passages. All scripture is useful and should be taught.
@Walker47030Jim@JoshuaBarzon Membership includes a profession of faith in Christ. It likely also includes an acceptance of church polity and church discipline. It isn’t for everyone. In PCA elders make this determination
This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽
My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."
@RandomHeroWX If you’ve ever raced cars at any level you’ve probably been on one side of this. Racing is competitive and you should be prepared to defend your track moves after the race. KB is all racers that go a little over the top. #kylebusch
@KenShepherd Seems like you’re looking for reasons to criticize Ken. Nothing Kid said was wrong. Not every Christian has a grasp on theology verbiage. Let’s encourage our brothers. We all start somewhere. #Godbless. #FaithInAction
"Don Lemon, don't come here. You roll up in this church doing stuff like that, and it's going to the Royal Rumble."
Rev Patrick L. Wooden, Sr has a message for Don Lemon and any protesters thinking to disrupt his church service.
“A VOICE” is a battle cry and a hope. A reminder that our voices matter and real strength is speaking truth with courage. I wrote this for anyone who’s ever been afraid to speak up. Use your VOICE. Please repost & download:

My roommate and lifting partner in college was an ardent atheist.
I've been a devout Christian my entire life.
We spent every waking moment together, from the dorm room to the gym. I truly loved him like a brother.
After school ended, we went our separate ways and talked, at most, once a year.
He called me the other day to let me know he was having twins. This was literally one year after my Wife and I had ours.
In addition to the news of the babies, he let me know that he had dedicated his life to the Lord Jesus Christ.
I wept.
We debated theology constantly in school.
He would go with me to church every once in a while because he said he liked the "hot girls." I didn't care, I just wanted him to sit under hot Gospel preaching.
I felt like I failed him in a lot of ways. My answers weren't always the most buttoned up, and although I was living for the Lord, he still saw my sin daily.
Hearing his testimony, I was reminded that I have no power to save. It is the Lord's and His alone.
Let me encourage you to not grow weary in doing good.
You may not see the fruit of your efforts for years, or ever at all. But, seeing the fruit is not your duty. Planting and watering it is.
