 Would you accept a Linked-In Connection Request from an Apostle? |
Old Time Country Preacher |
I got one today. Yep, it said "Apostle Jimmy Jack Jones."**
Needless to say an all, I refused to accept the connection request from the apostle. I aint gonna facilitate such self proclaimed silliness.
**The name has been changed! |

| I generally do, while admittedly chuckling to myself. I don't view LinkedIn as something that is all that significant to ministry anyway. |

An old friend of mine gave me his card a few years ago. It said his name +
evangelist , prophet --- thats where I stopped reading. I started to tell him that I was an engineer and a mars astronaut but was interrupted. So I just let it die out. |

Microsoft just bought Linkedin. Could be a "player" in the business social networking.

Chances are he isn't one. If a man is an apostle, he will carry out the work of an apostle without publicizing how apostle like he is.

So you have a message/sermon that the Lord has placed on your heart and you refuse to share it with someone only because he/she uses the title "Apostle".
I will share the word of God with anyone and give God the praise for the opportunity.

| Posted on FB and shocked by a like. |
JLarry |
I posted the following on FB yesterday.
| Quote: | Mama listen to me for a minute. That precious child you will tuck in tonight will leave this world. Hopefully you will be gone before that days comes. What have you done to prepare your child for heaven. Are you leading your child to Christ.
To what extent would you go through to make sure your child missed hell. Hell is just as real as heaven. Many do not want to think about that but it is a fact. We all go to one place or the other. Need someone to pray with you. PM Me |
I have a cousin who is married to HIS husband, they (he and he) have three children, well someone had them.
He liked my post. I am shocked at this.
Is any and everything ok with God today.

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,”
II Timothy 1:1 NKJV
I love it when we make things up that aren't in the bible. You probably wouldn't think much of Paul either would you Peter? |

| It has always seemed so strange to me. We mock someone for using a title that is every bit as biblical as "Pastor," "Evangelist" or "Teacher," while accepting uncritically someone who calls themselves by the totally unscriptural title of "Reverend." |

Paul's Apostleship was not a badge of flesh pride. Along with it came much suffering. Most of the folks who call themselves Apostles today would probably stop if they knew suffering was involved. |

Forward them to me. I will be happy to connect and minister to them. In fact I feel that is a big part of my ministry.
You are so hung up on your hang ups you are missing an opportunity. But as I said I will.
