1 | Performance or Preaching? | Acts 5:34 | Hank | 7495 | ||
Well said, brother Ed. I think the acme of foolishness was reached recently in a local church in my city. All the members were asked to bring their pets to the church lawn. The ministers then conducted a ceremony they called "Blessing of the Animals." The ministers actually conducted a "laying on of hands" ritual in the process of blessing these animals. Besides blessing a number of cats and dogs, a lucky mouse got blessed as did a pet goat. I don't know whether anyone took his goldfish for a blessing.....This is a church ordinance? Lord, have mercy on us! --Hank | ||||||
2 | Performance or Preaching? | Acts 5:34 | charis | 7517 | ||
Dear Hank, My daughter's friend has a pet Kabuto-mushi (Giant Stag Beetle), do you think you could get someone to lay hands on it? (But, watch those fingers! :-) I'll go one better. I went to a meeting that was claiming to teach on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The speaker came out and said that he had just cast several demons out of himself while looking in a mirror. He 'laid hands' on the mirror, and saw them depart, so he was 'clean enough' to preach about the Holy Spirit. We did not stay for refreshments. Welcome back, dear friend and colleague! In Christ Jesus, charis |
