Fasting for no reason but to do it would be Pharisaical. I should keep it in mind more often that we fast on Wednesdays and Fridays in conscious rejection of the greed of Judas Iscariot and in remembrance of the cross of Christ (who gave up rather more than meat).Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

But, yeah, we had built an entire college ministry on the concept "you don't have to be Baptist to be here", and had a Sunday School class and Preaching Service of 125 College Kids. (I was the college minister) When we got a new pastor, his very first sermon to the college preaching service was all about "I have a little B on every bone in my body - I am a Baptist through and through -- if you're not a Baptist, you need to......"
I was stunned. I kept thinking he was being facetious or trying to make some point, and would come around to "you are accepted!" - but he didn't.
The next Sunday, we had 12-13 college kids show up, look around, and leave. He managed to kill 4 years of building a college ministry with ONE incredibly divisive sermon.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostReminds me a bit of a guest speaker we had at my church a year or two ago who went way over the time our service normally ends, and when he noticed people starting to fidget and check their watches, he became angry and said something like, "If you don't want to be here then just leave! I dare you, get up and walk out! But you might miss out on something that God has to tell you!" and all I could think was, "You haven't read from the Bible in the last 40-minutes, so don't tell us you're speaking for God!" As much as I wanted to walk out, I didn't because it would have been unnecessarily disruptive and potentially misinterpreted by others -- and who knows, there might have been someone there who really did need to hear the message.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
