Re: Was it necessary to repeal DADT?
Thank you, Jason, for your answer. I'd like to follow up with one more based upon your response to Dan's question. Did I understand you to say that you would (or might) end a friendship with someone claiming to be a Christian while still embracing their sin?

The majority of souls saved should be in the marketplace.
Wish I had time to put more. Never feel that way about yourself.
Business is just as valid a ministry as standing behind the pulpit.

Thank you. And I do theoretically understand this. I even have a little lesson I wrote about "slow burn" - how we can effect those we contact with through the Holy Spirit day in and out. Perhaps not the same as a high temperature Holy Ghost revival, but effective nevertheless.
As a sidenote... Did you know that ignition of combustibles like wood generally occurs at about 400 degrees? Yet, there is now evidence that through prolonged exposure these same combustibles may ignite at about 160 degrees?
What I need is to refocus and allow the Lord to work.

I saw a card at Halloween that had a big fire burning and crackled when opened... That wouldn't be so good...

I believe this, but I would sure like to understand it better.
I remember reading the Baptists had a program built around fostering this concept. I have searched online for that program without success.

when I get a chance we can talk.
Most people are clueless what the word ministry stands for.
The most holy person in the church is very likely not the one standing behind the pulpit. And yes I preach this at my church.
Pastoring is but one of a plethora of ministries, and preaching is actually a very small part of pastoring.
The rabbis taught he who makes a miracle possible is greater than he who performs the miracle.

When you find time please start a thread. I would be very interested in this.

You just couldn't pass up a chance to condemn others, could you? Hence the remarks about people on FB, as if that matters to the discussion at hand or as if I care.

This is the best compliment I've ever had here. I know I fall woefully short, but the intent of my words are NEVER, not even in this case to destroy, but to restore, whether it be a sinner, or someone who is a servant of God. I hope I have conveyed that, but I fear that I have not.

When I was first discovering Willow Creek, I checked out their "Ministries" tab and scrolled through the list, which seemed endless. I happened upon something that looked totally out of place and it was called "Hair Dressers." So I read a bit about it and ended up calling the church because I was so intrigued.
To bottom line it....The Hair Dressers Ministry is open to all Hair Dressers at Willow Creek. They meet bi-monthly and study, pray, and ask God for inspiration, creativity and an open door to use their hair dressing chairs as a place for sharing the love of Christ. In effect, they seek to use the scissors, hair dryers, and hair coloring as a pulpit to preach the love of Christ.
So everyday they walk into their shops, they open the door and ask God to open conversational doors so that Jesus can be shared.
They also had a similar group for table servers, golfers, nurses, doctors, etc. What an incredible insight to ministry and using whatever is in our hands for the express purpose of sharing Christ.
