Who gets the Credit?


Whose Jewels are These?

Every church/most everywhere, are comprised of members.  
Members with different gifts and talents.
Members with different levels of commitment and dedication to God.

Can a church, in all its exclusivity take full credit, partial credit, any credit for the acts of its members?
When a church fails to act, can it turn to the acts of its members to show it did not fail to act?

Mary Lou, Moma Lou, greeted and loved on thousands.  Her love and compassion go and went beyond Hephzibah Baptist Church.  When the “Church Greeter”, with his label and pin, did not greet me, Mary Lou did.  So, in such a circumstance, can the church take credit for the jewels in her crown.  She went and performed beyond administrations.  There was Pastor Bill, there was Mary Lou.  There was Pastor Aaron, there was Mary Lou.  

Partial credit is when you provided something to Mary Lou, food so that she could cook, programs so she could hand them out; but the true credit is that of Mary Lou [her crown with jewels].

So too, if a church member uses his or her van to get an elderly person to church, then, it is a church credit and/or member credit.  In the context of when the church vans sit idle, not moving, in the same spot for weeks because, the vision of the need to “bring them” through the highways and byways, is not shared by the church, as evidenced in the dormant vans.

So, I take a person to eat breakfast, and then attend service, is that a member credit or church credit; in the context of the church not having a Sunday morning breakfast program for the homeless.  

You hold the door for me, you say, but cannot afford to place a button on the door so I can get in myself.  Hum?

Have vans but none have a $300 hitch attachment to enable bringing motorized wheelchairs, but you say, they drive here and we park the cars for them; answer, the ones missing are those whom can no longer drive, sir.  

The question again is can a church take full or partial credit for the actions of members.  Lastly, a person with a substance abuse issue is not helped, but is referred to another church, whom gets the jewel, the church that received the person briefly and then sent them away, or the church that provided help with the addiction.  Hum?  Who gets the credit?

¿De quién son estas joyas?

Cada iglesia / la mayoría de todas partes, está compuesta de miembros.
Miembros con diferentes dones y talentos.
Miembros con diferentes niveles de compromiso y dedicación a Dios.

¿Puede una iglesia, en toda su exclusividad, tomar crédito completo, crédito parcial, algún crédito por los actos de sus miembros?
Cuando una iglesia no actúa, ¿puede recurrir a los actos de sus miembros para demostrar que no dejó de actuar?

Mary Lou, Moma Lou, saludó y amó a miles de personas. Su amor y compasión van y van más allá de la Iglesia Bautista de Hephzibah. Cuando el "Greeter de la Iglesia", con su etiqueta y pin, no me saludó, Mary Lou lo hizo. Entonces, en tal circunstancia, ¿puede la iglesia tomar crédito por las joyas en su corona? Ella fue y actuó más allá de las administraciones. Estaba el pastor Bill, estaba Mary Lou. Allí estaba el pastor Aaron, allí estaba Mary Lou.

El crédito parcial es cuando le proporcionó algo a Mary Lou, comida para que ella pudiera cocinar, programas para que pudiera repartirlos; pero el verdadero crédito es el de Mary Lou [su corona con joyas].

Así también, si un miembro de la iglesia usa su camioneta para llevar a una persona anciana a la iglesia, entonces, es un crédito de la iglesia y / o un crédito de miembro. En el contexto de cuando las camionetas de la iglesia permanecen inactivas, sin moverse, en el mismo lugar durante semanas porque, la visión de la necesidad de "llevarlas" a través de carreteras y caminos, no es compartida por la iglesia, como se evidencia en el estado latente. furgonetas

Entonces, llevo a una persona a desayunar y luego asisto al servicio, es un crédito de miembro o crédito de la iglesia; en el contexto de la iglesia no tener un programa de desayuno de domingo por la mañana para las personas sin hogar.

Usted me sostiene la puerta, dice, pero no puede permitirse el lujo de colocar un botón en la puerta para que yo pueda entrar. ¿Tararear?

Tenga camionetas, pero ninguna tiene un accesorio de enganche de $ 300 para permitir el ingreso de sillas de ruedas motorizadas, pero usted dice que conducen aquí y nosotros les estacionamos los autos; Responda, los que faltan son los que ya no pueden conducir, señor.

La pregunta de nuevo es si una iglesia puede tomar crédito total o parcial por las acciones de los miembros. Por último, una persona con un problema de abuso de sustancias no recibe ayuda, sino que se la remite a otra iglesia, a la que obtiene la joya, a la iglesia que recibió a la persona brevemente y luego la envió, oa la iglesia que brindó ayuda con la adicción. ¿Tararear? ¿Quién obtiene el crédito?

Be Quiet, Justice League, FACTIONIST, and FBOMBS


Be Quiet, Justice League, FACTIONIST, and FBOMBS
  Youtube video death to rey
If you are called by a certain name, certain expectations and behavior are present or should be present.  
FBOMBS should not be a part of your vocabulary, if you are “CHANGED”.

It should never be that you are in a institutional building and have your “life threatened”.
Expressions and expectations, I am about to ANOINT you, as red and angry as he was.

I went to a meeting today and felt like my life and physical well being was being threatened.  I did not expect such.  So, I am attaching a link to a video that sort of expresses how I felt,  

Certain people profess to live by a higher standard.  That higher standard requires, is essential, must evidence, a distinction.  I will not use FBOMBS.  I will not make you feel like you are about to pounce on me.

I remember the days, coming back from SWAN LAKE, and someone had broken into the church.  
The person was brought to the altar and reacquainted with Jesus, so to speak. The person was made to know they erred.

Off to jail they went, and sometime during the travel they would have an additional Jesus encounter.  That is my memories. They arrived bruised and unhealed to jail.

So, when I faced a “Jesus encounter” today, unexpectedly and without merit, I just thought of the FBOMBS and standards Christians Profess.   

Quite literally, I was being told to “shut up” and take my “lashing”.  The standard and stature of the person made such behaviour seem and know to be out of place, Pharisee type behaviour.  They will kill you, Christ, thinking they are doing good.  That is how I felt, like my life was in danger, in of all places, an institution and building of higher level and esteem.  

The church can kill.  “It will kill”, the Forged in Fire Person says, but, this is not a forge, but a place of love and tranquility.  

God bless.  We can be brothers and sisters.  We can have different opinions and feelings.  But when you feel and express your opinion and feelings are the only right ones, then, that is not being a “Factionist”, or justify forceful statements of “Be Quiet”.  

Ask the people whom have gone and no longer participate, as well as those whom attend, what they feel about your programs and institutions; but, do not be so dogmatic that other people’s opinions and feeling do not count. “We have the best program in the whole wide world, you say, but I say let others speak and express themselves, without fear of physical injury.  Wow.  Hum?


if the church is filled with "isms" and factions, then, by commenting on that, the label is undeserving of being called a factionist; as such is present in the overall society and church.  Your actions speak louder than words. 

Expressing oneself, so too, should not be viewed as "Justice League"; rather, a book of rememberance, as alluded to in reyoadvocacy.net, is the ultimate objective,  

We live in a country supposedly premised on freedom of speech.  Why then can you feel threatened when you exercise such, in the religious realm? Hum?  Pared-ace

This is a call for prayer.  The people's church included a Jim Jones beginning with "usual acts of violence by the pastor".   Prayer and a consideration, was and is it so awful to ask that copies of sermons be provided to Moma Lou.  Hum?  Or, is it the top of the list of things to be rebuked for when you ask for a button to open the door, or better yet, infrared sensors to allow all with children and packages to enter easily into the church.  Hum?  Can these request justify a "sinner" label.  Wow.  Please join in prayer is what I ask.

In This Church We Speak Spanish Only and No Room for you.


A Church Divided – Spanish Only Please.  

Wow, I think it has been over six years, and I did not expect to see a recurrence.  A recurrence of what?

A Spanish Church housed in an English Church, both professing Christ as their savior.  The church were noting many and empty. Hispanics only seemed to be the pervasive attitude.  What does that mean?  Nothing about the “community event” was bilingual.  If you did not speak Spanish, well tough.   I expected praised to God in English and Spanish. 

I expected the English church to come out in masses and participate.  All playing games and having fun, TOGETHER.  Not so, it was a Youth/Community event that was tailored to one population.

I was ever so saddened.  I thought it had stopped.  I thought things had changed.

Things changed alright, they reverted to a separatist attitude.  The oneness in spirit was clearly lacking.  Wow.  Six years ago is when I began to say something, and now, the little progress was gone and reverted. 

This seems to not be limited to one church.  More than one church has adopted the same philosophy.  In Heaven, the different sections, based on politics, based on race, based on language, based on elderly and disabledness.  Wow.  Heart Breaking. 

Una iglesia dividida - solo en español por favor.

Wow, creo que han pasado más de seis años, y no esperaba ver una recurrencia. ¿Una recurrencia de qué?

Una iglesia española alojada en una iglesia inglesa, ambos profesando a Cristo como su salvador. La iglesia notaba muchas y vacías. Los hispanos solo parecían ser la actitud generalizada. Qué significa eso? Nada sobre el “evento comunitario” fue bilingüe. Si no hablas español, bien duro. Esperaba alabado a Dios en inglés y español.

Esperaba que la iglesia inglesa saliera en misas y participara. Todos jugando y divirtiéndose, JUNTOS. No fue así, se trató de un evento juvenil / comunitario que se adaptó a una sola población.

Me sentí muy triste. Pensé que se había detenido. Pensé que las cosas habían cambiado.

Las cosas cambiaron bien, volvieron a una actitud separatista. La unicidad en el espíritu estaba claramente ausente. Guau. Hace seis años fue cuando comencé a decir algo, y ahora, el pequeño progreso se había ido y revertido.

Esto parece no estar limitado a una sola iglesia. Más de una iglesia ha adoptado la misma filosofía. En el cielo, las diferentes secciones, basadas en la política, basadas en la raza, basadas en el lenguaje, basadas en personas mayores y discapacitados. Guau. Corazón roto
