Have you ever walked out of a service before?

[stmatthew]

I normally will not walk out of a church. But there are times that I have.

I walked out of a "Prayer Summit" in St Louis when JS was supposed to be preaching a sermon, but was just whipping folks up into a frenzy. My wife and I looked at each other at the same time, and knew it was time to go.

I walked out of a church in Knoxville, TN because of a bad feeling in the service.

I have been to a few that I probably should have walked out of.

Might be controversial but has anyone heard this passage spoke on?

"Do not I hate them, O Lord , that hate thee? am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with a PERFECT HATRED: I count them mine enemies." Psa 119:21-22

Now the application and interpetation might be varied on very widely but it is in the Bible?

Rhoni - I do believe that women can minister - they even ministered to Jesus when He was here in his earthly body. Praise Jesus!!

But she was not preaching to the Messiah.

I think they might have made sure he had something to eat and had clean clothes and such.
Let's see - they might have made all kinds of garments for him - you know - like Dorcas. Yes - may there be more Dorcases in the Body.

I think that they may have been like the two sisters that were in the house with Jesus one day when he was preaching.
One was cooking and one was quietly sitting and listening.

I believe that women should testify of all that Jesus has done for us.

Oh yeah - teach the younger women to be chaste keepers at home and teach them how to love their husbands and children and take care of the sick and the infirmed.
That'll keep her busy.

Sister, your just trying to get something started. Start a thread on the topic so I will have something to do the next couple of days.

I have only been tempted when certain people were "trying" to sing and I was embarresed for them. Or when a preacher was going waaaaay too long and not holding the majority's attention. Other than that I have only walked out when I had to take my children out.

I have left more than one service and others I endured I wish I would have left.
