Are you going to get your ears tickled?

Will they have some good emergent leader pump them up and lead them into being relevant?

Those familiar with Global know its push is toward networking ministers ... and not churches

I belong to Global but I'm not involved to any point that I knew this. Guess it makes sense. I know that I've never received as much direct mail, posters, flyers, emails, requests to pray, requests to fast, as I did for this event. They were obviously taking it very seriously.

So you're saying there's no effort to connect churches in GNCM? I didn't know that. I just assumed they did.

I feel great about his teaching. Yes, he is a minister of the "Apostle's Doctrine."

It's "MR. Smith" to you, pal.


Since you're assuming the role of Doctrine Nazi, consider what the bible says:

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.


Enjoy your "Own little group."

Jesus encountered the same problem. There are so many that want religion, they don't want God. There are not different versions of the truth. And the only way to get the truth is through Jesus Christ.
