KOPP DISCLOSURE
(John 3:19-21)
@#$%
YOU IS OR YOU AIN'T
I really, really,
really care about the souls of people and where those souls will spend
eternity.
The privilege to share the gospel of existential relief and eternal life by grace through faith in Jesus is humbling.
Moretheless, I don't care about "opinions" if they clearly and defiantly contradict WORD as enfleshed in Jesus, explained in Holy Scripture, and enlightened by the Holy Spirit who never contradicts Jesus by the book.
For example, there's no such thing as an "inactive" church member.
You is or you ain't.
That phony baloney BS was invented by posers and fainthearts to keep unfaithful friends and family on the mailing list and maybe squeeze a few bucks out of 'em to prop up their dying churches and enable the preacher to lie at their funerals, get their babies done (Rare, Medium, Well?), and throw elaborate nuptials while enlisting a holy man at minimum wage.
Make no mistake about it.
You is or you ain't.
Et the first sign you is is regular worship; unless, you know, you're homebound or not housebroken.
If you is, beginning with worship, you are a steward of your time, talent, and treasures in/through/for Jesus.
Our franchise settled that nonsense years ago; and we settled it a few years ago on the Corner of Lincoln and Main.
Membership in the Kingdom is qualified, first and foremost and always, by worship.
Ergo, if a person is worshipping, we have all of the time in this world for them.
We know they are serious about God.
We want to hear from them as we worship and work and witness together.
If not, they are not qualified for leadership, service, or discussion concomitant to anything in the life and ministry of the church; and they go to the back of line as we spend precious moments with people who really love Jesus and pray and labor to love Jesus by loving like Jesus with grace, mercy, and forgiveness wrapped in agape.
We pray and work not to entertain to enable to fuel counterfeits.
