Faith Promise Results
Well, Bro. Lynn Raburn did an excellent job this past week. At the close of our Missions Revival, Sunday morning, we had everyone sit down and fill out a commitment card with their covenant between them and God circled or written down. That evening, the Missions Committee met and tabulated the totals. Now, are you sitting down? For our FIRST Faith Promise Missions Revival, the members of Ebenezer Baptist Church covenanted with God to give $24,432 for missions over the next year! Praise God! What an awesome God we serve. Who says God can't do big things still!?!

Dude, you teach logic? That's awesome. I've been pulling my hair out over the last couple of polls. "Illogical" is exactly the word to describe it all. Craziness. I dwell on logic and it drives me nuts when people base what they consider to be core doctrines on logical fallacies, hearsay, and general ignorance.
It pains me to no end that some people in our associated work are so obstinate (God, I hate to think hardhearted), proud, resentful, and legalistic, and, often, so blindly obedient to what they were told by professor so-and-so in seminary that they remind me of a pack of wild, rampaging lemmings violently tossing themselves off doctrinal cliffs for no good (or, logical) reason.
I mean, for goodness' sake, a guy emailed me two days ago advising me not to do church planting the "new" way. By that, he meant not to use the team principle. I really felt like saying to him that I have no intentions of doing ANYTHING "new"--in fact, I would really rather do things the "old time" way, but not "old time" as in sixty years ago "old," but "old time" as in nineteen-hundred years ago "old." :) I can only think of TWO times in the entire New Testament that we find Paul alone: in Arabia and on a short journey. During neither occasions was he planting a church! He apparently needed the help, considered it Biblical, and provided the example for us today. And he was an APOSTLE! I'm a young and inexperienced moron with no wife, no prospects, and no respect. How in the world could I think that I'm better off without church-planting partners? I mean, is that even SANE?
Well, since you teach logic, and I seek to make my writings as logical as possible, maybe I could talk you into helping me do some logic-proofing of my arguments/positions?
Thats awsom man, tell them to brake some of that off my way;) I am glad to see that the Lord is using Ebenezer MBC
Good stuff, Matt. Glad God is using your church to impact the Kingdom.
