Along with learning how to distribute the Bible, it gives you an evangelism boot camp through e-mail. Life changing if you don't just read it but do it.Gracenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219781724285312648.post-54540543522990103752011-04-12T07:21:36.343-07:002011-04-12T07:21:36.343-07:00I'm surprised there are no comments on this ye...I'm surprised there are no comments on this yet. I found this entry hilarious in its broad-sweeping accuracy. You missed "the rest of the story" for these liberal youth pastors.<br /><br />10 years down the road these are the guys that go start a "community church" with UPCI home missions funding. The name of said church must consist of one word and must not sound like a church. "The" something. "The" Rock. "The" Praise. "The" Power. "The" Hope. Oh, and their services are never longer that 59 minutes and 58 seconds...that includes preliminaries, music and sermons.<br /><br />After their home missions funding runs out, they then pull out of the UPCI and go independent. Not because of standards, mind you, because they weren't following those anyway, with the lead guitarist in their church band wearing torn jeans. No, they pull out of the UPCI so as to become a GM, as the previous post indicates, because they don't want any of their "community members" going to the UPCI website and seeing that baptism and the Holy Ghost are essential elements of the salvation experience. They don't want to be associated with any stance that indicates their people have to do anything more than show up every week and enjoy the music in order to "be saved."Naynoreply@blogger.com
