Your 5 minutes to Shine...
 
You are invited to a private WPF dinner party. What questions would you ask the Elders on an open floor? What would you like to ask, but afraid to ask, since you would be face to face? Would you accept the invitation, or politely excuse yourself? Just a thought.

"Hey, did you catch 'American Idol' last night?"

"Does your Sunday School material have pictures of Moses, Abraham, Jesus, etc. wearing pants, like it says in the Bible?"

I'd never be invited. lol Sorry, but way too true.

If I was invited by a friend, I'd attend and enjoy myself and the company to be had. I can't really think of anything I'd want to ask. Or even why I'd want to confront them at their dinner party just because it's an open floor.

I am not afraid to ask, on forums or in person, whatever burning question I have. Trust me on that one... Ask some people here..lol

Seriously, I know what these people believe. I know what I believe. I know why on both counts. I can respect the people and their right to believe what they believe, and know that they are pursuing God with all the passion they have, without necessarily agreeing on every point. I can, have, and would again, worship God with people who are members of WPF.

Knowing who the elders of the WPF are, I would more likely sit in my seat and listen to what they have to say, and keep my own mouth zipped. ;)

I grew up with preachers in and out of our house all the time. Even as a kid, I LOVED to sit at the table when my Dad was talking to them. I could sit and listen to some of them for hours, and not be bored at all.

Usually when you just listen, your questions will eventually be answered--one way or another.

More importantly, TG, what questions would YOU ask?

Re: Your 5 minutes to Shine...
 
Cindy, I grew up much the same. My Dad would set with men of God and I could never get enough either. I would ask how may I help, what direction do they feel we are going, my deep concerns for our youth today. Conversation flows natural as the Presence of the Holy Ghost fills with His Anointing. I don't have questions as much as testimonies to exchange. ask how their health is holding up, what prayer burdens may I help carry. Anyway to show hospitality. Name is Terry.

I would say/ask: "By the way, the SHAME that is being brought into our church's by women wearing JEWELRY cannot be denied! We MUST do something about it! By the way, I have to be somewhere soon, what time is it?"
