“What you are talking about in the last paragraph sound like you are putting on a stage show, not leading the church in singing hymn that praise the Lord and brings joy to the heart of the people. I will not be a part of such worldly events disguised as a worship service” Those two...

Isaiah 35:5-6a Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then shall the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.

“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

Who did Jesus pray to? Be like Jesus. Matthew 6:9-13 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our...

About 27% of the Bible is predictive, containing over 1,800 prophecies. Over half have come true precisely. "The amount of prophecy in the Bible is one of the things that make it unique among religious books. There is absolutely no emphasis on predictive prophecy in the Qu’ran or the Hindu...

From Should pastors be paid a salary? A church should definitely provide for the financial needs of its pastor(s) and any other full-time ministers. First Corinthians 9:14 gives the church clear instruction: “The Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living...

From Should churches pay their pastors a salary The short answer is yes. The Bible specifically states that pastors should be paid a salary. First Corinthians 9:13-14 says, "Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at...

Thank you for serving The Lord without pay. If a church needs a plumber, electrician or roof repair, should that worker be paid? How about paying someone to tune the piano every 6 months? The WL/piano player does more than tickle the ivory. They lead a team (sometimes it's like hearding cats)...

May The Great Physician, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, bless you and touch you with his healing hand. Be sure to eat well & take your vitamins!

I’m doing FANTASTIC but it will get better. ;) How are you doing?

I agree with what you said. But would add some elaboration; The Catholic church adds human tradition to the Word of God. The hierarchy of the RCC, popes, bishops, etc. pollute the Bible with man made tradition and rules. I believe they will be punished by The LORD for doing so. OTOH, I would...

Interesting perspective on what a trillion dollars is.

Thanks @shittim i guess it’s like the old saying, “There is no such thing as retirement for a Christian.” On the plus side, I’m younger than Keith Richard’s. :ROFL:

I’m a retired worship director at my church. Two years ago, I asked the elders (of which I was one) for permission to retire. I gave them 1.5 years notice. They said okay and hired someone else relatively quickly. Normally, when a worship pastor leaves the position, they leave the church and...

I just checked with my DAV son. His military disability check are still getting through. I pray yours does, too. (y)

Hello and welcome!

I haven't looked into that. But my planned retirement income will come from three sources. 1. Social Security 2. A pension 3. Investments/Annuity I could lose any one of those, and the other two will sustain my wife and I.

The ballroom expense is completely paid for by private donors. No taxpayer dollars is going toward it. Also, a private donor has given $130 million toward paying the salaries of our military...

My wife and I just celebrated our 35th anniversary and we took a trip to Maui. What struck me about the island was its remoteness and beauty. Way out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is a little island teeming with life. Vegetation, lizards and birds of all kinds. Beautiful sunsets and the...
