 World Missions |
Carpenter's Hand |
| I have only seen a few mention someone other than an Anglo-Saxon person. Why do we think that only people from America can be a World Missions Director or Assistant? I would fully agree with a Ken Anderson election. He lived on the Mission Field for many, many years and would live there now if the Lord would allow. Just curious to as why we only think in terms of the American to fill the position and not someone from another country who, in my opinion, would greater understand and know the need and how to best remedy the need. |

I totally understand your point. Even agree with the heart of it. Not that you need a counterpoint but food for thought, much of the money for world missions comes from inside of the U.S. Being able to fundraise is valuable and thus being someone people know and "trust" is useful to the position.

That's a great thought but the Director and Assistant Director's main job in World Missions seem to be raising money. Tim Hill and John D Childers have done an amazing job at this. It is good to get someone in the department that has a lot of contacts and experience to keep the WM Budget strong and healthy.

I notice that he is missing from camp meetings this year |

I agree entirely. To be honest, I think that may be part of our problem in the COG. The calling of God and the anointing of the Holy Spirit to preach does not guarantee that God has also given them the gift of administration. When the entire barometer of leadership revolves around good preaching, we've missed the mark.
The spiritual gift of administration spoken of in 1 Cor 12:28 (kubernesis - to steer, guide, lead) is entirely different than the spiritual gift of evangelism Paul cites in Eph 4:11 (euaggelistes - preacher of gospel) Are some ministers graced with both? Sure. But it is damaging to our movement when we assume that just because they "preach good" means they can also lead well.

| It appears that Tim Hill has afforded great confidence and trust in Brother Childers as Assistant Director. His administrative skills are shining in World Missions. He will make a great contribution to the EC. |

We've heard clean slate prophesies before, but it never seems to go that way, at least as I recall. Historically, has an assembly ever actually voted that way?

Does it really matter? Will it affect the church? Is it just time to rotate the musical chairs? And I hate to ask but; wouldn't the money we spend on rotating them chairs, and sneaking off to Sea World, Disney World and who knows where else while we should be in the meetings better be spent for the Kingdom on the missions field? Have fun guys! I think I will save my church the money!

Maybe your church members feel the same way about the way you do things in your local church. Maybe they can find something better to do when you have special events and services. You reap what you sow. |

My church members have a real say in what we do, and we try and focus on what benefits the kingdom, not the church or political system. Can someone tell me what great kingdom shaking event took place in 2014? Sorry I wasn't there, but we took the money that we would have spent going and put it in a Central American mission effort. Only about a thousand people saved and hundreds filled with the Spirit. I understand how that pales in comparison to some of those powerful resolutions that were passed.

I'm sure they do. Oh I love how pious you are. I guess all of us who attend are not doing anything for the Kingdom. It's called being faithful to larger church than just where you are. Who appointed you to where you serve? If and when you decide you are finished there I guess you will want someone to help you get another appointment at a different location. Folk like you always condone in themselves what they condemn in others. |

Your a funny guy Georgia... a little pious yourself though...  When I leave where I am I will do what I always have, trust the Lord. Never have asked for an appointment, probably because my 30 years of pastoring has been done in 2 churches, so moving has always been a God thing. And based on that record I think I have at least a limited understanding of being faithful. I also believe in being a good steward over God's house and until some things change where the GA is concerned, I will not be attending because I feel it is a waste of resources for the return. Maybe you can enlighten me about all the benefits to the KINGDOM OF GOD that come out of the GA. If you can, I promise I will be there. All I see is a religious exercise, full of politics, where half those who are supposed to be there spend days elsewhere, then go home and tell their congregations how exhausted they are from all the hard work.
As for excusing myself, you don't know me! I confess, I'm a mess, I am opinionated, my mouth gets me in more trouble than I can get out of most days, I fail about every day of my life in one way or another, I would not want to be my overseer and have to deal with me. But one thing for sure anyone that really knows me would laugh if you described me as either pious or religious.
