It's very somber. The church is being rebuked and encouraged to repent.

You ain't set free. Rico. You are bound by the worldly mindset of self reliance and non-submission.
Let me ask you this. If a pastor was to step into the pulpit, and say to the church that he believes is wrong, gives solid reasoning, and tells the church under the anointing to get them out of their homes, would you? Or how about when a pastor shows examples of ungodliness and fraud in movies, and tells the church not to patronize movie theaters, would you? Or is this micromanaging one's life as well?
Once again you make the assumption that you are in a position to tell me that I am bound by something. Get real, Price! Your credibility is zero with me! You flip flop so much from this mindset to that mindset that I don't think you even know what you believe! I'm not into control freaks for pastors. If this is your bag knock yourself out, but don't think you have the right to tell me I have to go along with it.
Character means much to me...I have a pastor but if I were looking for one I certainly would want a man of clean character, a man that knows his spiritual boundries, a man that would care for my soul.
[b]I would not want a pastor that lords over me but one that would gently guide me to that land. [b/]
I am so blessed that my pastor is a rare jewel. Not that there are not others but I deeply appreciate a man of God that has lead me to heavenīs gate. A man that believed in me when I was a mere child. A man that believed I had the missionary call and against all odds gave me Godīs blessing.
Thank the Lord for such noble men!
Thank you. I have yet to see anyone object to the latter. The former is another story entirely. I've had both types and would choose the latter any day over someone who thought it was his place to tell me how to spend $50 of my hard earned money, or whether or not I could go visit family out of town, or where I had to put my children in school, just to name a few. I had one that was like that and I ain't goin back, period!
I listend as well. it would not have been a good night to be in Clinton Mississippi.
wow.
