Did I mention it was my church?

I see you're crystal ball must be malfunctioning.

Remember when your thread about you having diarrhea was locked by the Admins?

Are you still bitter over that?

Which God do you serve? You, my friend, need to put God back on the pedestal.

I can't tell you I would be perfect, but I will tell you something. If I were ever to become a pastor, I would be the man that I would want leading me.
No doubt about that.

I didn't know the Holy Ghost was too weak and boring, that it would need the assistance of colored lights and smoke machines to win and keep the youth.

FYI...I'm only 38 years of age.

God, I don't know what happened between my youth until the present day. Where did you fail? In my teenage years, your word and spirit kept me. I didn't need the assistance of smoke machines and colored lights to be kept by you. The awe of your power and who you are, they were enough for me until I decided to leave your presence for a few years, in my rebelliousness. However, it was your mercy that allowed me repentance and reconciliation of our relationship in my early adulthood years.

God, I'm curious, if your word and power were good enough for me in my teenage years, why isn't it good enough for the youth now? Are you lacking somewhere? Are you losing your touch? Why have church services adopted colored lights and smoke machines into church services? God, could it be that your ways are too old fashion?

God, could it be that our current leaders have just gone stupid? Could it be that our present youths and leaders live on a hype of emotionalism, have no clue in maintaining a relationship with you, so they need entertainment? Could it be that our current leaders don't know how to get a hold of you, so they substitute the leading of your spirit with a bunch of stupidity? Are they too stupid to realize that nothing can substitute the results of prayer and fasting?
Here's another entry of your diary.

Let me ask you a few questions, and I'll use you as an example, okay?

And please don't dance around the questions. A simple yes or no will suffice.


1)You're behind a pulpit preaching about Israel's exodus, and how they saw God's miraculous power, and how they constantly deviated to serving idols and doubting god.
2)You then tell you're congregation that you didn't understand why Israel would revert to idols and doubting
3)You then say that after God manifested himself to you, you wouldn't be like the Israelites turning from God after you've seen God work in your life.


My Questions to you:

1) Are you degrading the Israelites?
2) Are you being arrogant?
3) Are you comparing yourself to the Israelites?
4) Are you superior to the Israelites because you compared yourself to them?
5) Are you arrogant and/or superior because because you wouldn't act like the Israelites?
6) Are you arrogant for delivering a word from God and telling the people not be like the Israelites?
7) If your congregation erected an idol and began to worship it, would you be disappointed at your congregation for emulating the Israelites after you delivered your sermon on of the Israelites?


I'm curious to know your answers.
