I think that's the crux of his message....if you have a relationship with Jesus, you're gonna be winning the lost, not caught up in fashion, politics, etc.

Jeremiah didn't win one soul. He just tried, that's all. I guess I'm just making that point. I'm not watching the preaching.

He was speaking to the ministry for the most part and their attitude and motives...


whether they wanted to be celebrities or Heroes?

He's basically saying it doesn't matter what clothes you're wearing or whether you sit on the platform or not, it's all about whether you're winning souls or not!

Hmmmm......I only caught the last few minutes of his sermon but he wasn't "saying" anything. He was screaming some things though!!!

I just don't understand why UPC preachers cannot be emphatic and strong speakers without the screaming.

What else is he saying?

This likely is the reason you are not capturing the theme of the message.

I tuned into GC last night for about 3 minutes and turned it off because I couldn't tolerate the screaming. It's seemed like so much emotionalism. I sure have a different viewpoint than I did a few years ago.

I suppose. I just remember, in the UPC, that everything was about winning souls all the time.

Stop worrying about what the Jones' think of you? In other word, stop worrying if you (as a minister) have celebrity status....stop worrying about what seats you have at General Conference....basically shooting down the attitude that has a deep longing and desire for significance....


....MJ rather be a sinner's hero than the UPC's celebrity...and things like that.
