"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

Well, no he didn't.
This is just a shameless plea to get someone to comment on something we post here.
Maybe somebody just needs to start a good argument. ;-)

He also says that he's a preacher.
Why should I take his word for anything?

I have quit commenting much because one time that I did comment (actually in agreement with the original poster not in argument) I was called a racist by a fellow commenter and then proceeded to get in a blood-pressure raising argument with him. I am trying to back off on my "discussions" on-line (especially the political ones). I do love to read this blog and I have been blessed and enriched by you guys. Thanks.

if nothing else, Philip, you have a gift for attention-getting headlines!
i too am a frequent reader, but rarely comment - often because someone else has already offered my p.o.v. :)
but i thank you all for sharing your thoughts and your hearts for the Lord - i am often encouraged by what i read here. :)
and i already miss the posts on LOST!

Deacontrek,
I'm sorry about your bad experience. It was probably my fault. ;-) blame it on me.
I'm glad you're still around. I hope you stay around.
And Happy,
That goes for you too....if for no other reason than your user name makes me smile for some strange reason...

A gal at church said that the reason her husband didn't come to church was because he is on pain medication and can't stay awake for the sermon. She said that he watched Joel Osteen on TV. I said that the way I check out a preacher is using the Bible as a plumb line. She said that her sister thought that any good teaching was helpful. I'm praying that those who believe in Jesus will know why they believe what they believe.
