• Wanted: Apostolic Pastors

  
  — Authority:
  Mark Dever talking my kind of language: I was in a meeting not too long ago in which a pastor said that he was going to lead his church to be the first church in history that fulfilled the great commission.

• Bigoted Pastor = Bigoted Members

  
  — Authority:
  Well, I guess this should come as no surprise. The members of Charles “The Bible’s agin’ it. God’s agin’ it. I’m agin’ it, and if you’ve got any sense, you’re agin’ it.” Worley’s NC church are standing behind their pastor and his bigoted sermon. I guess the answer to the question “Who in ...

• ¿Grito o canto?

  
  — Authority:
  ¿Qué diferencia hay entre el siervo que está en la presencia de Dios y el que no? En Éxodo 32:17-18 encontramos la respuesta. Moisés sube al monte, acompañado de Josué, para hablar con el Señor.

• How Membership Meetings Can Help Your Preaching

  
  — Authority:
  About 9 months ago we transitioned to a more formalized membership at Emmaus . The elders’ plan was to interview everyone who wanted to be a member, even if you were a member of our core group.

• Treat others as you would like to be treated..

  All human beings like being treated well. So often in our modern world people treat others with discourtesy, disrespect and downright rudeness.

  — Authority:
  ‎"There are many professing Christians who are emotional atheists. We may hold onto orthodox ideas about [the Father], but our hearts disconnect, says Mike Wilkerson; our affection cools; we just don’t trust him.

  La carta que Pablo escribe a Filemón consta sólo de 25 versículos.

• Hating For Jesus: NC Pastor Charles Worley

  You know that you’re not dealing with the highest of IQ’s when a pastor in reference to Obama’s endorsement of gay marriages responds, “The Bible’s agin’ it. God’s agin’ it. I’m agin’ it, and if you’ve got any sense, you’re agin’ it.” After hearing someone make such an eloquent argument I ...
