I suppose it would have increased my hope to see such an influential pastor emphasizing discipleship as a means of building and that is why I was dissapointed.Misplaced Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678088467204383307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514316733918143759.post-54582160285214467872011-02-01T22:03:20.441-05:002011-02-01T22:03:20.441-05:00Redirect your hope to a more hopeful reality.

Both options are possible, both of which are grievous. Paul said we are to rejoice when Christ is preached in vain glory, but I think it's ok to mix a little sorrow in with that joy. <br /><br />I remember the last time I heard a sermon on 2 Cor. 8 & 9, the giving chapters, was in a series to raise funds for a double sized gymnasium. That was tough to sit through. It was also tough to hear the oblivious responses from the saints who could not see the contradiction and the giving-to-self.Tim Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099983903222184138noreply@blogger.com
