My oh my.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

How stupid. Yeah, what a witness that would be to text everyone and call everyone "FU".

Ya gone Catholic, bro?

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Shame, watch somewhere here defend it.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

DANIEL,I am predicting that admin. is NOT going to Forgive.U.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

You get a LOL for that, as well.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

I think there could have been another way to get his point across.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

You buncha armchair quarterbacks, be quiet and go preach your own sermons! He connected with his audience in a creative way and inspired people to be forgiving. I liked it. :thumbsup

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

see, told ya!

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

God bless the Puritans

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Only on a forum of prudes would someone find fault with a speaker encouraging his congregants to forgive people who have hurt them. But it's ok, I forgive you.:hug4

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

I don't get it.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Uh oh.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Right, there was no other way to encourage the people to be forgiving. Ridiculous.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Yep, disgrace indeed.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

I'm amazed at the lengths some people go to be "relevant." Oh, I'm sure we're the ones with a problem, right?

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Really? Replace the "f" expletive with the word "forgive" and you have the new "f.u.":foottap

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Yep, you sure are.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Why even put something like that on here. Don't we get enough of it in the world around us?

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

There was naivety happening here but it wasn't Renda. :lol

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

You're just old. Be relevant.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

You aint hip to the new soulwinning ways, man. Just wear hip trendy tshirts and make sure you are relevant.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

This is what old guys think; That's ignorance at it's finest. Some people have to come up with all kinds of entertaining stuff now days to keep their audience attention. I would think that shirt was all he had to say and then he could have went an sat down. I would have been rolling..

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

I think that it was brilliant! Really! I guaranty you that the church will never forget about forgiveness ever again! They'll think about it every time they hear someone cuss! When all of the other sermons have faded, this one will go with them to their grave!

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Yep your probably right. When all the sermons that edify have passed away then they will remember something they can associate with their past..and maybe in some cases their presents.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Exactly!!!! How many people can remember what they heard even this last Sunday? I don't have the nerve...I'll admit it....to do what he did. But he made a good point and he spoke the language of the audience, he connected, and I would guarantee that people forgave that desperately needed to.

But of course, the critics need to gripe. If you don't like what he did, go do a better job.

"Relevant" is not a dirty word. It simply means the ability to connect with the audience and produce life-change, something that rarely happens in the pentecostal-performance sermons.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

I could do a better job than that any day of the week and twice on Sunday/

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

He first quoted scripture on forgiveness. Are you saying that nothing in the sermon was edifying? Do you not think he made his point very strongly about forgiveness? He did associate it with something that is very prevalent in modern society. That's why I think it was brilliant!

We don't know if the people there cuss or not, but we can guess that they hear it on a daily basis somewhere. I know that I do. I will think of forgiveness of others wherever I hear it from now on! Is that bad?

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

OK, then! :blah

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Alrighty then.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Let not then your good be evil spoken of.
Abstain from all APPEARANCE of evil.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

I'll always remember seeing the Steven Anderson youtube video "pisseth against the wall." I will always remember a preacher preaching veggie tales is ungodly, and that a load of other nonsense. I will always remember a preacher who brought styrafoam "to-go" boxes, placed them on the alter and told the congregation "come and get your blessing to go!" (I wasn't amused and was about 1 of 2 who didn't go get a blessing to go-my wife being the other).

Rememberance doesn't make a sermon great, content does. Relevance doesn't make a sermon great. Obama is considered a great orator, he can sway people. Professional wrestlers make a crowd love them or hate them, cause them, playing on the emotions. If you've got a congregation ready to "Get behind the preacher" just about anything can be said to a chorus of "amens".

I'm sickened, saddened, offended for the gospels sake, and I don't care what NOW thinks, that isn't godly, and it has no place in the pulpit.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Jason, great thoughts.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

You know, I understand attention getters. I thought it was tasteless, but I chalked it up to nothing more than that until he said "turn to your neighbor and say FU."

It became offensive at that point.

When he said to text all the exes and say "fu?" Stupid and offensive. There's no way all those "exes" would know what FU meant unless accompanied by a long explanation about that Sunday's sermon. And furthermore, it can be condescending to offer an unsolicited "I forgive you."

MUCH better to offer an unsolicited "I'm sorry."

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

Ok you pastors try this in your church and see if you don't get voted out.

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word

Re: Pastor Goes Too Far With the "F" Word
 

AMEN!!!!
