Do you think Two Church services a month is enough?

I asked one of these spiritual giants once if everyone was like you where would you visit. They would have to have a spiritual hobo convention.
I did notice a fact about this mass murder in Va. the shooter was a loner and social misfit. Most serial killers are. They sit so high on a perch in their immaginary world and have such contempt for everything and everyone killing folks and taking their own lives seem to be a little matter. Jude warned about those who 'separate themselves.' They picture themselves as spiritual gurus with some profound intelligence but honestly they are only misfits that cannot function inside a body. They will not be accountable to anyone and if you really knew them you would understand why.
Years ago I lived in the country in Kentucky and I had to go to town a young man was riding with me we passed a hitchhiker on the opposite side of the road then about 30 minutes later coming back home the hitchhiker was on the side of the road going into town. The young man proclaimed "Hey that guy was on the other side of the road when we passed a while a ago." I answered "He is a hitchhiker he has no where to go and nothing to do when he gets there so it doesn't matter which side of the road he is thumbing a ride." Go and learn what this meaneth.

Right you are, elder.

Yeah. Kinda like the Jesus time you waste on these forums, instructing us lost folks on the error of our ways.

Now, if by chance I was taking away from my prayer time, and/or time for my spouse and my home, you would have a valid response. However, as this is not the case (rather, y'all are blessed with my presence on this forum during breaks in my classes and my homework ), you still have no valid reason for the fussing and whining and complaining you do about some preacher telling you what to do, yada yada yada, and demanding that you spend time fellowshipping with the people of God and allowing His gift to you, the ministry, to edify and perfect you so that you become even more fruitful in the kingdom of God.

And now, break time is over, back to hour two of class. I'll be back!

Yes, we are blessed to have your presence among us. Hehehehe! And, don't tell me I don't have valid reason for fussin. If I could get the ok from admin around here I'd spill the beans and you'd know why this current round of fussin is happenin. His gift to me? If that's the best God can do then He can keep His "gift." I'll take my chances "giftless." BTW, you know I love ya and thoroughly enjoy giving you a hard time. LOL

Rico, you know that I also enjoy the banter with you. However, I truly, truly hope you were not serious making the comment I highlighted. If you are truly serious, brother, you are in a big spiritual mess (and I ain't joking or bantering, I am soberly concerned).

No, I am not joking. At this point I have no confidence whatsoever in ministers. As far as I am concerned, they are all nothing but a bunch of lying hirelings.
