Its like being in a choke hold.<br /> <br />I'm so thankful for my current Pastor of 4 yrs now though. Him and his family are in the UPC organization, but with LOVE as their main tool! Its amazing and refreshing to be out of the auditorium of that traditional thinking and into a sanctuary of Godliness.<br /><br />Sincere condolences for your friend.. May God provide his family and friends a better eulogy that will help you all move forward with more love because of God's love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219781724285312648.post-26027250952626683442012-05-22T14:45:09.153-07:002012-05-22T14:45:09.153-07:00I just wonder if these "ministers" are s...I just wonder if these "ministers" are so emphatic when they're out and about, or if their sense of urgency is only activated when they're at the sacred desk?<br />Easter and Christmas at the church I grew up at were just large guilt fests, so much so that the families who only came those two times a year would no longer even come. The pastor even regularly reaffirmed why we didn't have programs on the observed Sunday. It was so he could preach at the guests. Not preach to, preach AT.<br /><br />You're onto something Joel. There's no love in the Apostolic movement, only obligatory banter and pleasantry. These pastors don't know the concept of love, only conversion and reward. It's a sad state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219781724285312648.post-54514925925308303612012-05-22T12:09:30.208-07:002012-05-22T12:09:30.208-07:00Excellent, again.Excellent, again.drevalynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510862892529267375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219781724285312648.post-58973504144425012152012-05-22T10:56:31.039-07:002012-05-22T10:56:31.039-07:00We are commanded to mourn with those that mourn......We are commanded to mourn with those that mourn...you can't go around treating everybody as if "This may be the only time they hear the Acts 2:38 message"....more can be won by showing comapssion and empathy and developing true relationships and not just using "hit and run" tactics.My condolences on the loss of your friend.Willnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219781724285312648.post-67735042914583975052012-05-22T10:50:24.640-07:002012-05-22T10:50:24.640-07:00Yep, life rituals turned into plan of salvation or...Yep, life rituals turned into plan of salvation or holiness meetings. Want to write one about how weddings are now a time to bash gay marriage? Um hello, no, this is not about gay people, it's about the couple standing in front of you, shut up already.SittingSilentnoreply@blogger.com
