Really? You have only see a problem with two of those on that list.
I spent the first 20 years of my Christian life living under that kind of of a controlling dictator of a pastor. He had everyone of those going on.
He was a sick sick man. You only see a problem with 3 and 8 Good God Almighty, bring some healing deliverance on our beloved Elder Epley.

Thank you, Miss Brat. True Christians are never provoked to pride. I would never be prideful for any reason. Not even if I had the best horse in Lancaster county.
