I have served as Pastor of McBain CRC since August of 2007. I graduated from Calvin College and Seminary but grew up in a Grace Brethern church in Delaware, Ohio.
I am pastor of an "elephant" church in the country. In small communities, the pace of change and the gestiation period can be long.
That's not to say that Rabbits don't inhabit the village and country churches too. The Rabbits are our ministries that live and die. And there are rabbits who are started by people and not formally supported by a church. Just my thoughts...
Thanks Sam for the article. It has helped me in my discussions with area pastors as we together try to work out our faith with fear and trembling. I love the gifts of the Spirit and seek to experience all I can in God.
Porn is a big deal. It hurts the marriage bed as well as thoes who are exposed in it. A prayer: God help us live in the light. Enable us to expose the damage of pornography. Thanks for Safe Church Ministry. Thanks that you are loving, forgiving and transforming. Come Holy Spirit. Burn among us. Amen.
