That yoke is not easy and the burnen is heavy.

And once the saints are equipped? I mean, honestly, how long does the spoon-feeding needs to go on? Then need to be trained and then released to work. Just my opinion of course, and such worth very little.

But the statistics are Too many Holiness or UPC children go astray at driving age anyway.

I guess all of the Bible quiz teams, youth camps, Three days a week at church really is the answer.

Most new converts beg for more services than are scheduled. Who moved?

"...And so much the more as you see the day approaching.."

Do you see that day approaching?

Well Coop....I guess you and I are the only two that think its OK. I guess we are gonna have to start our own Church. We can be known as the twice-a-month'ers.

Can I be Pastor? It will fit my new roll as an Apostolic Feminist. Pretty Please???

Exactly, as much preaching and teaching I have heard in 17 years how much does someone need?

17 years, 52 weeks a year, 3 times a week, 1-1/2 hour a lesson equals: 3,978 hours of learing.

Keep in mind that you were only allowed to listen, not to ask questions or participate. That's not learning, that memorizing. Scripture is one thing. But the Pastor's opinion is another.
