Acts 6:4

"But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the Word."

1 Timothy 4:6-16

" If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." 1 Tim 4:6-16 (KJV)

"Questions Most Pastors Don't Want You To Ask Them"

Monday, July 25, 2011

Questions most pastors don't want you to ask them:
  1. What is Arminianism and why is it unbiblical?
  2. Where in the Bible did Jesus tell people they got saved by reading a pamphlet called "four spiritual laws" or saying a "sinner's prayer" or walking forward at a Crusade or Altar Call?
  3. Why do pastors tell people to close their eyes and bow their heads when sinners are being told to seek the Lord? Did Jesus tell his followers to make sure they didn't embarrass people who needed salvation?
  4. Why do people meet on Sundays in large special purpose buildings when the early church met in homes on a much smaller scale and in a much more interactive and intimate setting?
  5. If the Apostle Paul was self-employed (as a tent maker) and tried so hard to avoid being a financial burden to the churches he was involved in, why do most pastors today get a salary and expect one?  And if it is because being a pastor is their full time job, then why don't they delegate some of their responsibilities to others?
