"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in
humility
count others more significant that yourselves. Let
each of you look not only to his own interests,
but also to the interests of others."

"The church is always trying to get other people to
reform;
it might not be a bad idea
to reform itself a little

I'm going to make
a motion at our next presbytery meeting to help pastors tied to the
whipping post.
You may want to
go to the right column and click on "Helping Pastors Tied to the Whipping
Post" for context.
I anticipate this
will be the first of many.
Expecting
opposition while acknowledging my motions will be imperfect because I am, my
motivation is Matthew 25 and encouragement comes from Moody.
Punchline from
Jesus via Matthew 25: "As you do it for others, you do it for Me. As
you don't do it for others, you don't do it for Me."
When Moody was
criticized for the way he "did" evangelism...[probably by a
Presbyterian or Methodist or Lutheran or other mainliner who didn't
"do" it]...he retorted, "I prefer the way that I do it to the way
that you don't do it."

"I move our General Presbyter and
Stated Clerk along with the chairwomen of our Commission on Ministry and
Mission Strategies and Resources Board provide a recommendation to the next
stated meeting of Blackhawk Presbytery on how we will assist particular
churches in the presbytery comply with our established minimum compensation for
installed teaching elders; and if there is a second to this motion, I will not
speak to it because you wouldn't understand it anyway if I had to try to
explain it to you."

This can be
accomplished sooooooo
easily.
How much do they
need?
Pass the hat.
If there's a
will, there's a...
Hmm.

Let's start
raising heaven at presbytery meetings.
Maybe the
moderators of our presbytery meetings better hold her/his breath when asking
for new or unfinished
business.
Uh, if you're not
a Christian in that part of the Kingdom idolatrously labeled Presbyterian, my guess is
you can connect the dots for your own franchise or, uh, whatever.
