No shortage.

Good morning. Sorry that lately i have been teaching quite a lot at church....Parts of Ephesians and Galatians in the New Testament.
Glad to take a little break here to enjoy a little blogging.
I am being taught the word of God as i share with others. I do not pretend to be a theologian, in other words an expert on religion.
I share the gospel,i share the letters of Apostles, some Old Testament...parts of it etc. I also learn the differences in flocks of people in the church house. I also learn the similarities of many of the people as far as the level of their closeness with Christ. I am not fooled very easily. I learned that first impressions are not lasting impressions, if you hang around a while. In small churches there is a definite need for proper order. In smaller churches any issue of unsound doctrine,You know ,the kind that is contrary to what the Apostles taught. You know, the kind that warrants comments like "LET THEM BE ACCURSED."
I have learned that there is no shortage of experts in the realm of teaching ,preaching,music,and some with very smooth words. WOW!  I must try and turn these people in the correct direction. I believe the scripture clearly teaches that. Yet...what if it does not work? I tell you sternly, this would be when being honest ,candid, and prepared to lose these people is appropriate. If small churches are to ever flourish these issues must be dealt with. Tolerance seems to be what Satan is pushing these days, and its stunning to see Satan with such a strong hold in small flocks these days. Its very difficult to keep ones cool when speaking with these kinds of people. No common sense seems to be present. Just stay in prayer about it and The Lord will lead you in how to handle it. These kind of things are very educational and i must keep pressing on sharing the word of the Lord. Doing things in order and decent. I guess the most obvious thing is how deep seated these problems are. In the business world we would say" Better hiring means less firing" So better screening of potential church members,then later, better screening of potential leaders in the church.  So for me to end this topic,let me say as The Apostle Paul would say,"I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you.  May the grace of God remain with your spirits. Until next time live your lives worthy of the gospel of Christ. AMEN.

HAPPY AND PEACEFUL 2019.

Man needs some supernatural thing beyond himself to follow.
Just look and listen to people. If...people cannot find it, then they will create one. Even atheist believe in something. Their religion is the belief of themselves,in themselves. Repent of your sin,and come to Jesus. Be as the apostle Paul says in 1st Corinthians quote "For i determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ,and Him crucified." Happy and safe and prosperous New year and please do not wait to receive Christ,you may only have one chance.
