Do you think Two Church services a month is enough?

RICO, I think she's calling you an OLD GOAT....

Oh yeah:

Mat 7:1 ¶ Judge not, that ye be not judged. Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

I stopped worrying about what people like Sister Murphy think about me a long time ago. I'm just here to be a pain and remind people like her that they aren't as perfect, holy, righteous, and godlike as they like to think themselves to be.

You're right. They're probably more so, since they don't think they are all of that, while God likely does. And when HE approves, it beats any approval of man going!

Bless your ornery soul, Rico, but I am already so acutely and painfully aware of just how far short I fall.

When you are converted, strengthen the brethren.

Wandering stars-spiritual hitchhikers-roaming Pentecostals I have seen them all my life. Eventually they wind up in the hospital with no one to visit. The family has no idea who will preach the funeral. Their children have no faith in the church or preachers hence they have no interest in being saved. I asked one of these spiritual giants once if everyone was like you where would you visit. They would have to have a spiritual hobo convention.
I did notice a fact about this mass murder in Va. the shooter was a loner and social misfit. Most serial killers are. They sit so high on a perch in their immaginary world and have such contempt for everything and everyone killing folks and taking their own lives seem to be a little matter. Jude warned about those who 'separate themselves.' They picture themselves as spiritual gurus with some profound intelligence but honestly they are only misfits that cannot function inside a body. They will not be accountable to anyone and if you really knew them you would understand why.
Years ago I lived in the country in Kentucky and I had to go to town a young man was riding with me we passed a hitchhiker on the opposite side of the road then about 30 minutes later coming back home the hitchhiker was on the side of the road going into town. The young man proclaimed "Hey that guy was on the other side of the road when we passed a while a ago." I answered "He is a hitchhiker he has no where to go and nothing to do when he gets there so it doesn't matter which side of the road he is thumbing a ride." Go and learn what this meaneth.

This is good insight from a man of God that the twice-a-monthers would do well to heed.

Good post elder.

There is an older couple in our area that I think are sincere folk but somewhere in their church experience they became roamers I feel sorry for them they wind up in the hospital and know one know they are there unless by chance someone runs into them. They always sak for me to come and I do go pray for them. I wonder what will happen when one dies who will be there to comfort the grieving companion who will preach their love one's funeral who will see about the remaining companion. This self imposed isolation they have cultivated through the years has a high price tag on it.

That's a shame. everyone should have people to care for them and about them whether in secular society or in Chrisitan society.

Jam 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
