By the way I knew a couple who was in the ministry for longer than that... and they were fomenting a kind of hazing in a ministry they ran.
I became angry, prayed about it.
Never asked for the specific outcome, though... which was both died within a year.
I am a non-violent person. I wouldn’t kick a dog .... that is unless it was trying to bite me or someone else.
My minister certainly doesn’t advocate violence. He’s lived an interesting life. He’s even had the KKK burn a cross in front of his church before because the church bus was bringing in black children. They asked him what he was trying to do. He said, “Tell them how to get saved.”
He’s a wonderful man and he stands for what is right. I get a lot out of his services.
His recent comments about defending what you believe in are related to Memorial Day. He said that God approves of war when necessary. You have to be on the right side, of course.
