What would Steve Epley do?
 

Tonight I have been invited to do a scripture reading at a community wide ecumenical gathering at a Catholic church.

Should I disregard the spirit of thanksgiving text that they would want me to read and go right to Acts 2:38, telling myself this might be the only time that such a large and diverse group here it's important message? Or should I go on comprimising my beliefs and participate with the Whore Church.

What would Steve Do? What should I do?

Hey, cookin. Just a little fyi. Acts 2:38 is also in the Catholic Bible.

And the Baptist Bible. and the Methodist Bible. And the Lutheran Bible. And.................................

My guess is that they've all read it a time or two.

God will send the hungry ones to YOU

Forget whatever they WANT you to read and preach a food stompin, pew poundin, hell raisin, holy ghost blowout of a holiness message!

Re: What would Steve Epley do?
 

Steve Epley would fast & pray before reading the requested scripture.

Then he would do as requested, praying that God would use the anointing in his voice to spark a real hunger for the Lord in someone who is not interested in religion only.

That is what he would do, I bet.
That is what I would do, for sure.


You could just ask him, ya know! :)

We have the reputation of being a church group that tries to convert other church group members over trying to convert rank sinners part of any church group.

Not sure what Epley would do

But I would be as wise as a serpeant and as gentle as a dove.

Elder Epley, if asked, would speak from a heart of love, the word of love

I'm sure Eld. Epley would pray about it, then speak with love and respect to those who were there. Some times he comes across pretty strong here but that's because we all know each other. I think he would be a little different in a community church group like that. And, I would not consider that to be a compromise.

Re: What would Steve Epley do?
 

I agree.

Re: What would Steve Epley do?
 

To go in there and do anything other than what you were asked to do, and agreed to by accepting the invitation would be pretty hypocritical wouldn't it?

Re: What would Steve Epley do?
 

Concern yourself with this question, and this question alone:

What would Jesus do?

But, if accepting this invitation in the spirit of thanksgiving to do a Scripture reading at this event (or any other event) seems to be a compromise of your beliefs maybe you should decline. I would take your need to even ask as a sign that maybe your aren't a very good representative of your beliefs.

I guess an update is due:

First this thread was in fun. I love Steve and his honest posts so this was done with less than serious intent. I wasn't going to change minds or convince them that we are right, but to give a good witness of God's grace in our church and community.

The service went well, we had two members of our church give an testimony (which by the way they shared within good taste) how Jesus healed them, delivered them and one even told how the Holy Spirit came upon him and he prayed in tongues.

The Catholic Church was the most modern, large, expansive, open and airy Catholic Church I have ever been in. Nothing like the old, damp and dark churches that I have been in the past.

The service was well attended, along with us and the 2 AOG pastors, the Catholics were outnumbered, so some measure of God's truth and power was present.

God Bless all.

I just saw this wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I have NEVER did a funeral without mentioning Acts 2:38 or wedding or baby dedication so what do you think?:christmoose However I certainly would attempt to do it tastefully.

Re: What would Steve Epley do?
 

I was trying to live up to your high standards.

Re: What would Steve Epley do?
 

I just have always felt obligated to tell them the plan it might be the only time they ever hear it is that bad?
The Bible teaches there is NO salvation in the NT without obeying Acts 2:38 it is my job then to tell everyone I have an opportunity to.
