So if we cut up in the store, she corrected the behavior in the store. We remembered the lesson forever (I sure do).
Perhaps the Pastor was practicing this by correcting it ON fb since the incident happened ON fb. Just a thought. *shrugs*

But doesn't it make you wonder why a pastor feels it is necessary to remind saints so quickly. When I was UPC I there was always something constantly going on where people were just acting like little kids. Folks were sleeping together and then shouting it down on Sunday night and the pastor new about all of it. They just always swept it under the rug and as long as folks shouted and spoke in tongues it was ok. But let one of us get our of hand who wasn't a big time worshiper, oh man, we would get it for wearing jeans to church or some other nonsense.
What type of saints are we dealing with who have to be reminded to be on their best behavior?
A pastor shouldn't have to tell people what he told them. If they truly have the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives there should be absolutely no reason for a pastor to have to stalk people.
