The reason women outnumber men in churches is because of feminization. Women seek more intimate relationships at church than men. Men are turned off from church because of legalism. Most pastors cater to women which is evident by how many of their sermons target men’s shortcomings.
Mention Men’s Issues=Amens & Hallelujahs.
Mention women’s issues=😡🤬
People think you're not doing anything with your life unless you post it on social media. SMH, you'll never know every move I make.
When you tell someone you’ll reap what you sow, you’re not wishing bad on them. Sowing & reaping can be positive or negative.
I hate when some people tell me uncomfortable stories about their lives because my heart goes out to them. Whatever they tell me, I usually replay in my head several times a day. Some people have serious trauma that I pray healing from. Through all of that, I keep their info confidential. I ain't no snitch.
Repost from Mark A. Brown
I remember growing up in the church world greatly revering some men in leadership and even fearing being in their very presence. As I got older however I learned that SOME OF THEM were just plain mean, manipulative, dictatorial, rude, unforgiving, partial in judgement, nepotistic and very poor theologians. They insulated their behavior with twisting scripture and avoiding all forms of accountability. What was worse was that they fostered relationships in ‘ministry’ with likeminded ‘lords’ who formed an unspoken fraternity to fortify themselves against grievances or complaints of unethical and immoral behavior. Hey folks, when someone slated to be an example exemplifies such toxic behavior you are in no way biblically bound to follow. Hold your leaders accountable to the word of God.
“Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith.”
Hebrews 13:7
Some old-school COGIC fit this mold. Before some Christians come with the “we all fall short” excuse, save it.🙂Yes, we fall short, but preachers, Christians are held to a higher standard because for many unsaved people, Christians will be the only Christ they see; and if some of us are cutting the fool, how does that look to them? This post is the reason why many people (Christians & unsaved) want nothing to do with the church, because there’s no difference in believers from Sunday to Saturday. I’ve never put man on a pedestal because they err, just like me. There’s a reason why God’s judgment will be more harsh on the church because Christian leaders should know better, but some of them choose to twist scripture to avoid accountability.
Sometimes you miss important things when you move too fast. It’s ok to take things slow. Life isn’t always a race.
