If a man's called by God he's called by God, right?

Can the works of man kill off something that's ordained by God?

A " leader" could certainly be run out of an organization or ignored by said organization and starved to death (figuratively)

Sent to me via text from a friend attending BOTT.

Any other updates or quotes should be posted here.

I wouldn't hang a bunch of baggage on that statement. I agree with him, BTW. But I would understand his use of "emerging" in the standard sense and not as "EMERGING" as in the controversial "movement" of that name.

Yes, see Abel, Uriah, Josiah, Zechariah the son of Jehoiada and a host of others. See also Matthew 23:34-38.
