    I did not see a Christian party, maybe I can start the first non-denomination christian party of America. No abortions, No gay marriage's, No marijuana. Free fly you back where you came from tickets.

    As far as I know, the NRA, TGO (Tennessee Gun Owners), and others are still fighting for ALL of our 2A freedoms. My wife and I are conservative leaning independent moderates and have been so since the middle 1980s when the Republican Party decided to leave a strong, conservative position. With the first Bush Administration came a move towards accepting more liberalism in the party, and the beginning of the move to fall under control of the United Nations and other global organizations, ceding our national sovereignty to others. I make no apologies for where we stand. Not all moderates have been making moves towards liberalism. There is no "Moderate" Party, though some would like people to believe that the Libertarian Party is ours....not hardly. Their platform, though good in some respects is good, but is a disaster in others.

    I heard this can be wrong the libertarian party is mostly non-believers. With some good ideas.

    The Republican party are also turning more moderate by the day.

    I'm FAR from being a Republican. Thankfully the party left my wife and I back in the 80s. We are moderate Independents. There isn't really a party that fits our political views, but most of the time the Republicans are closest.

    I did not know you were a moderate, they are turning more liberal by the day. Not you, but the party, has there been any updates on where they have gotten with the 9mm issue.

  4. Those ministers that are selling out to the devil‘s work are selling themselves and their loved ones to hell. I mentioned here a while back ago that my adopted daughter that I raised up from two years old decided to go gay. I told her she was born a woman or female, someday she’ll return back.  I have a brother in Christ that his daughter also turned gay, but he opened the door to her plus couple. I opened my door only to my daughter only.

    Who was president when abortion was put down by the Supreme Court?

     

    https://19thnews.org/2024/01/trump-abortion-restrictions/

     

    Which major candidate will even listen, beyond paying ear service, to a pro-life person?

     

    Does the sin so prevalent in our own lives make abortion a minor issue?

     

    Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee;

    and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee...

    Jeremiah 1:5

    In the latest news, it looks like Trump has a change of heart on abortion. All politicians sell out. Let each State make its own decisions on abortions. The majority of leaders that are Republicans are going to a moderate stand,to win the more. Sad 😭  we can not trust in man… Trust in Jesus only.

    We won't back out of helping. Too many rich Jews in positions of power in America. Just look at Biden's staff, cabinet, Fed Reserve and particularly the Justice Dept. There's an inordinate amount of Jews in power for such a small group of people. And yes, they do control the vast majority of the media too. 

    Do you think Trump will pull out of Israel, after he pulls out of Ukraine? Trump is sometimes unpredictable. If he wins

    To be fair, my last two pastors are also the administrators of their schools. Since the school is considered a part of the ministry I lumped that into their pastoral duties.

    In my mind 1 Timothy 5:17-18 is a good guide to go by: Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

    Elders that rule well are certainly worthy of double honour. I could not do that job, and anyone that would criticize should walk a mile in their shoes before casting aspersions. 

     

    Thank you for sharing, just for the record I am not criticizing anyone.

  8. Copied from an online Christian page

    It is believed that Jesus’ ministry, from His baptism to His ascension, took place between AD 29–33. In this case, it can be inferred that Jesus died when He was between 33 and 34 years old.

    However, some also believe that Jesus was somewhere between 33 and 39 years old when He died (Ibid.), depending on the exact date of His birth and the year He commenced His public ministry.

    I wouldn't count you any less a full time pastor if you worked 20 hours a week. Pastors are usually available to their people and others as well, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

    I believe you to be a good pastor just for the fact of your churches growth since it started, and the souls saved through your ministry there. 

    Does any church demand that a pastor has to work so many hours?  I only heard full-time or part-time. I imagine some do more work part-time than those who are full-time. This would be sad too.

  10. 24 minutes ago, HappyChristian said:

    Your worldly view...and I know by that you mean that it's typical  in America that a work week is 40 hours. Interestingly enough, it didn't use to be. Nor is 40 hours typical in some other countries. Many more hours than that are often put in.

    Now let's look at it the way we should: biblically. Could you tell me just what the Bible says is proper time for a pastor to work? Because that is truly what all pastors should be concerned with, not with what the secular world puts down as full time.

    Just FYI, even if a pastor "only" puts in 20-30 hours, pastors are always on call. Folks get hospitalized, they need their pastor. Folks die, family needs their pastor. Folks have wayward kids, they need their pastor, etc., etc. IOW, a pastor might only "put in" a certain number of hours, be he is ALWAYS on call for his people. That's way better than putting an hourly requirement on.

    So, pretty much compared to regular work hours they should be on salary pay. The Bible says that the laborer is worth their work wages. If he does not work, he does not eat. In some extreme cases, they rob God. Like those that don't support the church financially.

  11. Discernment is the ability to perceive, understand, and judge things clearly, especially those that are not obvious or straightforward.

    I love those pastors that have the ability to preach and serve correctly. I can immediately tell when there’s a pastor that controls not just the church, but it’s members and everything that is happening in the church. example, if the pastor of the church knows which members are tithing and which ones are not, this is a flag. Another example if you attend the church members meeting and they ask you to vote for something, but your vote really doesn’t count, for the decision was already made. This is a flag. The biggest example will pprobably be those members that are chosen or there’s favoritism on their behalf from the leader, for the members that are yes sir, away, even if it is not correct. These are blind Christians, with no discernment. A good pastor can not be a show off, but humble, and he admits that he’s not perfect and counts on the body of Christ, for their assistance. 😇 there’s some good news. There are many good pastors out there, but the bad ones are rapidly catching up. 

  12. During my life as a newborn Christian, I learned, and God has gave me discernment on things, what is proper and not proper. It amazes me how there are brothers in Christ who follow man and traditions being saved and born again. they spend their whole life, jumping From Church to church, looking for the perfect church when we all know that the churches are full of repented sinners and the perfect church will be when Christ comes again. Some are know it all, which we all know perfectly. We all don’t know it all. In the church, there are hypocrites back stabbers, members that wanna control positions and know it all, we need to have the discernment, when we see these things. 😇

    Nothing wrong with "foot tapping," but there is with consistently trying to stir up controversy about what other churches do or don't do. TBH, Morales, the incessant use of the "halo" emoticon doesn't make you innocent... Remember, even the adversary presents himself as an angel of light. 😉

    The church we are members of have drums, and they're used on occasion. I would prefer that they not be used, especially in the hymns, but that could very well be because I was raised in a church without drums.

    The only thing I like stirring is when I’m making pancakes, mixing the dough. Are you sure you’re not a security guard? 🚓

    We have a piano and an organ(which no one plays anymore). Occasionally I'll play guitar. We have no drums, but foot-tapping is allowed.

    Follow up, 
    It’s has been a year now, roughly.  Have you made any adjustment to your worship service and are members still foot tapping? 😇
