Re: Would You Put Timmy On Your Church Board?
notofworks,
I know you were trying to show your admiration and confidence in some of Timmy's abilities and traits but you chose an inappropriate way of doing that.
For you to make this statement in the first place is only exceeded in its bizzareness by your inability to see that it is an incredible lack of judgement to say that you would put someone you have only met via phone or internet on their church advisory board. Not only that but a person who is an agnostic or atheist. If you don't think there is a spiritual component to your advisory board even when they only deal with financial or ethical matters I really don't know what to say to you.
MOW has pretty much stated my take on this in his posts on this thread that I have read.
I have a feeling Timmy would think it would be inappropriate for him to be on a church advisory board and will take no offence at this. It is only common sense.
As far as you wondering about my previous comment about your sermon prep you said in a thread that you used to study 20-30 hours per week preparing for a sermon but decided that the time was better spent with people or something like that and now you put notes together Sunday mornings before church and preach from that.
You are probably the nicest guy in the world but you have posted some really strange things that bring your judgement into question in my humble opinion.

"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."
