Getting FB Blocked

I don’t like getting blocked on Facebook because I can’t even finish the conversation, we can’t even respectfully agree to disagree, it’s like slamming the door and walking away, with hands over ears.

I was FB blocked by a pastor yesterday essentially for agreeing in the wrong way about a major problem in his church. I agreed with the problem he had identified but I attributed the problem to something fundamental that reflected on his ministry philosophy, but he wanted to blame his followers.

Feeding weaker followers guilt (abuse) is much easier than rethinking and abandoning, ineffective, worn out tradition.

Ironically sometimes the youngest and most passionate Christians, are also the most rigid and unwilling to question tradition.

That Is Ridiculous

Logic and common sense are not how the Christian is to live her life. Or approach ministry.


She is to be led of the spirit above all things, and sometimes the leading of the Spirit seems absolutely ridiculous.


We can see this in the periodic comments of the apostles about what Jesus was doing (or not doing.) to the point where most of them eventually ditched him for not meeting their expectations.

Like An Orchestra

The kingdom of Jesus Christ is like an orchestra.

Jesus’ church aka the Ecclesia is like an orchestra or chorus, (not a one man performance). Every one making beatiful music together. Being quiet at times and making noise at other times all at the right time. Responding back and forth, one too another and in response to the conductor. It is a collective performance of beautiful “music”. There were no spectators.

And the conductor is the spirit of Jesus Christ, not the elders.

The leaders were simply other very experienced players (elders/ pastors) who taught the new players how to focus on the conductor and play HIS songs in accordance only with his movements and his promptings.

The leaders (elders) would stand up for a short time to train the new members, (and only as necessary) then would sit down for their true love, to perform music with the others as equals.

Thought of becoming the preeminent and dominant conductor is offensive, idolatrous, and worldly.

Over time the music to this Jesus orchestra so beautiful the line to get into the orchestra is a mile long, so we have to plant “orchestras” in every town.
