Pastoral dereliction of duty.  I almost fell out of my chair when I read this! I am studying The Christian Pastor by Wayne E. Oates ( https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Pastor-Third-Revised/dp/066424372X) and he quotes a survey of preachers revealed that the average time they spent in a day in sermon prep was only 34 minutes ! God help us if that's true! A good pastor spends more than that on creating the outline and major points to cover in the message. Any good pastor would hang their head in shame if they only used 34 minutes a day each WEEK in preparing a sermon for Sunday. A pastor who fails to study and grow as a Christian is not only failing HIMSELF, he is also failing his CONGREGATION! Any Pastor only spending that amt of time on sermons is failing as man of God and a pastor.  He can not possibly do what he was called to do by Jesus: "FEED MY SHEEP”. And this is another reason why expository preaching is the gold standard. How you do your preaching influe...

Q:  I joined a forum online, and I was kicked out for disagreeing with views the Admin held to. He also promptly deleted my comments, so no one else could read them and see why he was wrong. How to deal with this?? A: Find another group, or join again under another profile.  On topics like this, just consider well & say things wisely, and depending on whats presented in a post or admin popping into comment... avoid some topics & just "like" others replies.  Additionally, you can [before commenting] ask the admin if the forumn has an official position on the topic or if we are free to discuss views so people can be Bereans. That can make an admin or moderator feel obligated to allow free speech and views that oppose his current view for discussion.  You can ask directly by message or post I'm the comment, so you can circle back and write a reply to topic if you're free to post your thoughts.  In the mean time, go write up what you would say, and edit a...

A: It is simply because God gave man dominion over the earth, and this is what we have done with it. Was it fair that God had to give His only Son for you and I and all those who love Him? Our journey with Christ gives us hope for a bright eternal future but He never said that in THIS sin filled life, we would not have trouble. Remember in the Garden in Genesis 3, where they were told to not partake of the tree of knowledge and good and evil? Well, that's what we're enduring, them turning against Love and opting for sin. By their sin, Evil entered into existence. That's what this world is, what they brought on us - Evil & Suffering. And the thing about evil? Not the least bit fair, nor does it care.  This is what God is rescuing us from. And we praise God it is only temporary.  Each person is different and has their own unique situation. Suffering we go through is a lesson God teaches, and produces much good and good fruit in the end. So just continue to keep your fai...
