Pastor Matt

I love visiting Virginia for this reason, I love American History.

Administration note: God gave us all a free will to believe what and who we believe. I trust everyone reading this will take the time and read what the Bible says rather than what man says. In the past man has got things wrong in the church (every denomination and non-denomination) when they listen mans opinions, but God's word never changes. Trust God's Word over man and you'll never be wrong. Beware of people that point you to more of what man says rather than God. That's what cults do. God is the one we are accountable to. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

I forgot to mention, we have moose at our airports ?

Gotcha, OU has been pretty dominate in softball

Title says it all. Name the best and worst thing. I'll start: Connecticut Best: The weather. We get all 4 seasons with an awesome fall. Summers are in the 80-90's and winters are not that bad or long. We also get all the natural disasters on a small scale. Earth quakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards. Worst: Taxes and cost of living. $$$$

I missed the championship game since Uconn is not good in softball. I would have rooted for OU anyways because you know that Tennessee and Uconn woman's BBall rivalry. ?

I will state this as well: Just because God does not qualify a person for the pastoral position does not mean they are "uneducated" or incapable of doing the job. God set it up where the pastor is a "husband of one wife" (1 Tim 3:2). God distinctly made males and females different, both physically and mentally. God chose pastors to be men, and I can't give birth because that's not how God made me. There are some ministries that God called people in our church to do that I probably can do better, but God did not call me for that ministry like He did them, and I'm okay with following God. The women in our church play a role just as important as mine in our church. I will not sit back and let people disrespect women and the roles that God has given them in our New Testament church.

I wish more will walk the talk, but nevertheless this was refreshing to hear.

It's not my rule, it's how God set it up. The only way to support woman pastors is to quote more people than Scripture.

I take the lead ?

Looks like someone's going to be getting a letter from John of Patmos

It's still not the same ?

I thought the title of this thread was woman pastors not woman apostles. Apples are not oranges and vice versa

Chris Christie was just added to our poll. I believe everybody's vote could be changed if desired.

I think a good place to begin here so that we're all on the same page and to be clear, what we mean by the term “altar call”? From my experience, nothing is wrong with an altar call, but it can be wrong in how they are done?

I look forward to meeting you at the Summit one of these years. I'm really looking forward to this one next month.

pulled pork tonight

A little late as this is now about a month old, but one my daughter graduated this year from VBC with an advanced church music degree. @Napsterdad Wish you could have been there to meet you.

Ok, Mike Pence is added as he filed paperwork today. I believe everybody's vote could be changed if desired.

I'll add Pence to the poll when/if he officially announces

Thank you for sharing that testimony from your sister. Looking forward to meeting her someday

Hello Gloryland, incase you haven't seen it yet, we have a thread about the upcoming election here

TBH, I came to the same conclusion after reading your post(s). Seem to answer a question that wasn't the question. Logically speaking, answering the way you did implicates what Jim said. As the author of this thread, I'm closing this topic before it get's like others.
