When a ship is taking on water the captain has to Stand flat footed and say Enough! Start bailing water! What's wrong with that?
While in Hawaii my wife and I saw a nice yacht 1/2 submerged at the doc. Beautiful boat beautiful ocean and scenery. But the boat was ruined, and people walked by wagging their heads saying 'it was a awesome yacht ".
Think about all the churches that have gone charismatic or that are no more.... And all we can say is "was an awesome church". As we wag our head.
God help us all.
Very emotional forgive me.
I am for the pastor!

Not allowing anyone in a church under the age of 18 to own a cell phone is the very definition of controlling whether you want to acknowledge that or not. Not only controlling but making decisions that should be made by parents.
You may have the best of intentions but pervert the gospel never the less by lording over people rather than being a shepherd.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
