How should the humble sinner redeemed by grace greet his pretend pastor, who preaches dribble rather than the Word of God?

Manfred:
I think I’d have such a pastor over for lunch and offer them a Sacred Sandwich!

While this may have been applicable in bygone days, where the Pastor was for real, a sold out servant for the Lord, who diligently prayed to God for at least an hour in the AM before he did his devotionals, visited the sick, helped the poor and needy and hand wrote notes to those who were not in the area, who actually prayed before planning a sermon that the Holy Spirit led him to write, who led a humble life with his one and only wife, and raised sound children into genuine Bible believing children, who didn’t write any million selling book, or led an evangelistic tv program, and did not urge his flock to sow “faith seeds”, and didn’t sport any tatoos or piercings, wore a respectable suit, didn’t swear or tell jokes during the service, and preaches over 20 minutes…
There needs to be a greeting guide for apathetic pastors greeting true saints….
But then, true saints would not sit under the authority of an apathetic pastor…they should not sit under one…

Isn’t #3 “squeeze hard on the trapezia nerve”?

I’d love to kick a pastor in the seat of the pants. At least hard enough to knock his wing tips off!

If the apathetic pastor were to see this, would he/she care one way or the other?

Wow, this must be about ol’ Gary Lion (Lamb):
Gary Lamb is on the record saying that one of his biggest regrets is that he didn’t club a church lady with a baseball bat, punch her husband in the face and set fire to the church organ.
Lamb’s lust for murderous violence doesn’t end here. Read what Lamb wrote on his blog to the person who stole one of his church’s trailers.
To the people who stole our trailer:
“First let me say, God loves you. Second let me say we forgive you. We really don’t want to forgive you, but God says we should so we do. Third of all I want you to know that I think you are scum bags. I think you are lowlife degenerates who need a good butt kicking. Matter of fact I feel so strongly about the fact that you need a good butt kicking that I am volunteering to do it. I hope you believe in God because you should get on your knees and cry out to Him like never before because if we find you, I can promise we will kick the crap out of you. It won’t be pretty, it won’t be over quickly, and it will be very painful. I know that doesn’t sound very nice but I feel pretty strongly that is what you need. ”

I think some of these goat-herders need a good smack in the pants themselves, then summarily shown to the door.

It sounds like Larry Goat has a potty mouth for a church leader to post comments like that…
We need to remember to bridle the tongue and not to resemble the world. I know there are times I have to watch what I say, not so much a problem with the “swear” words, but just speaking the truth in love, and in meekness and not allowing anger to control the words.
It also reflects the “heart condition”. If the spirituality that is part of the post modern church in the United States reflects what the abovementioned post revealed, we could say the spiritual heart is in critical care and in need of a transplant.
