Pastor Matt

We had two on Sunday.

Here’s a plot twist to this story. The church that prompted this thread recently had their pastor resign. They have a building but no pastor, and we have a pastor who needs a bigger building. They approached me to ask if we could merge congregations. It's amazing how God works.

I've also noticed his demeanor has changed since his last election. Seems more grateful, humble, and a little quieter than last run

Not my first choice, but I'll take Trump any day over Kamala

Let me know if you ever see any proof of this. Like you I hope its not true.

I’ve officially found a way to make my job as pastor easier… by hiring a robot! Introducing the Optimus PastorBot 3000! Need a visit? No problem. My new robot friend will knock on your door, share the Gospel, and even quote the perfect Bible verse every time. No awkward conversations, just straight to the point. Imagine: Optimus going out to soulwinning, he’ll never get lost or skip a house. He’ll share the plan of salvation flawlessly (because robots never get nervous). It’ll even follow up with people to remind them about baptism. Meanwhile, I’ll be home, chilling with a cup of coffee starting a pastoral podcast on making pastoral life easy. Guess I’ll still have to preach though… unless this robot starts learning how to do that too. PS: Robots don’t enjoy coffee and donuts after service. Looks like I’ll be the one sticking around for fellowship time. https://nypost.com/.../heres-when-elon-musks-optimus.../

Praying my friend

I live in Connecticut and was working just a couple of miles away when Sandy Hook happened. While there are some things that don't add up, the shooting was real. I drove to the school a few hours after the incident.

We have too many pastors out there with strong convictions, but when those convictions apply to themselves, they no longer hold to them. Didn't Jesus in Matthew condemned those who enforced standards on others while not adhering to them themselves?

Haha, sounds like you’re doing all the hard work! If only you were a pastor, right? Then you could just preach, shake hands, and have all the free food show up. But for now, it looks like your wife is keeping you busy with all that car washing and laundry folding!

I understand that. The real issue for me would be if someone added something to the Bible and claimed it as part of the Word of God. Anything else is just there for helps. For the record, I won't be buying a Trump Bible either.

We do not currently have a Sunday Evening Service. Working a full-time job takes up a lot of my resources, but the goal is to have a Sunday Evening Service one day.
