29.10.2025 02:56 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0If your pastor has been credibly accused of plagiarism, removed from a church network, resigned instead of dealing with accountability and discipline after being found to have โpatterns of persistent sinful behaviorโ by his elders.
I urge you to find another church.
My โlife goalsโ have changed. I used to have a number that I wanted to preach to. I thought writing a book and touring to promote it would give me purpose.
These desires have dwindled down nearly to one:
โMake much of Jesus!โ
Most everything else is noise and distraction.
Paulโs instructions for leaders in the Church:
Not argumentative
Kind to everyone
Able to teach
Not resentful
Able to humbly teach even those who disagree
Not mocking those who are spiritually blind, but gently guiding them towards the truth
Hope for the repentance of all
Ah, youโre one of those.

Huh? You posted on my post.

Itโs a character in a story saying it.
Violence is never the way of Jesus. It is never the way forward.
I will continue to condemn any sort of political rhetoric that insights violence, and political violence of all kinds.
People are made in the image of God and must be treated as such.
Community isnโt an accessory to faithโitโs the environment where faith breathes.
Because the Gospel wasnโt written for a soloistโฆ it was written for a choir!
Yes. Yes you may!

Itโs easy to drift out of rhythm.
Worship combats. It recenters us to God, realigns our priorities, and re-stories from scarcity and fear to abundance and grace.
Worship invites us reclaim our rhythm.
There is an appropriate amount of discernment needed. However, be careful that as you cultivate critical thinking you don't become a critical person.
If we get more enjoyment out of critiquing than we do participating, we have become dangerously addicted to the drugs of snark and sarcasm.

Itโs like throwing out the baby and keeping the bath water.
Iโm interested in what the deconstruction from the deconstruction brand will look like
Every. Dang. Time.

This is not the way.
We need to be careful what we hold with clenched fists thinking we could never be wrong.
Whatโs something you were almost certain about, but now you see you were mistaken.
If you canโt think of anything, be careful that your pride isnโt driving you more than truth is!!
Can someone show me where in scripture the idea that โOld Testament lawsโ were โresurrected with Jesusโ?

I pray that we do not give up our birthright for a bowl of nasty porridge.
Yep, lots of horrible things have been done in the name of Christ.
