3. Uhmm, could you reduce the amount of services we have preacher? I am awfully busy out here. Don't you even care about my life and my things? I need you to be more SENSITIVE preacher.

Wow, in my world its always my preacher asking for a handout....

1. You should come to church more Sis. Michelle....

2. You should pay your tithes Sis. Michelle....

3. You should get involved Sis. Michelle....

Those things should be done in accordance with God's word. If someone can't handle THOSE statements I doubt they are committed in any other area of Christianity.

Handouts?

That's called "your reasonable service".

We absolutely do not need anymore thenthitive preachers! If people want thenthitive preachers, they should go to the gay Pentecostal churches (or listen to many of today's so-called "worship leaders" with their soft, effeminate voices).

Well, I could add that I don't think that tithing is New testament, and I don't agree with the current church model and that I think if we ditched all the tedious programs and busywork there wouldn't be such a need for people to be "involved".

But then people just set out to prove how wrong I am, and after 5 hours of trying to preach me straight, I get a little tired. So lets just skip that part, and we can pretend that you won.

I loved my Pastor and his wife in Florida and did everything I could do to please them...and it included abiding by the platform standard, and beyond because I TRUSTED their integrity, wisdom, and dedication to the cause there in that community...I submitted willingly. So...I don't understand your view or post.

Blessings, Rhoni

My point was I prefer a small church but not for the negative reasons you gave.

Good for you for submitting to standards. If I felt God wanted me to, I would.

Sounds like you have an intense dislike for work.

I believe that EVERYTHING we do should be measured in its value to or ability to bless The Kingdom of God! If an action cannot in any way bless the Kingdom of God then it is probably not the will of God but it is the will of man!

Just the way I live my life.
