And sometimes like Brannon Howse he goes after them for all the wrong reasons. And he goes way too far in targeting people who are largely in agreement and refusing correction from friends. If you once thought team pyro guys were bullies even while saying a lot of true stuff (I see that post had been removed??) then I’m mystified as to what changed to make you commend someone like Hall. <br /><br />I can’t think of any I care to listen to or follow anymore except our own pastor, who is decidedly not a bully, and fits the qualifications for elder-overseer, unlike a lot of these guys.terriergalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801794520433439408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583193007270420795.post-38754563039022922212019-03-11T11:38:33.625-07:002019-03-11T11:38:33.625-07:00Thank you.

Thieme's material, by high majority, is superior to most. I would keep with his material while looking for a church.<br /><br />My recommendation is to take your time with any visit. Our family spent two and a half years visiting churches before we decided to join one.<br /><br />The emphasis of a healthy church will be an effort to teach doctrine from the basics to more meaty doctrine.<br /><br />It can take time to find out the real emphasis of a church, sometimes those things are hidden. Also insist on a visit from either the pastor or some representative of the Pastoral staff if it has a multiple pastors staff.<br /><br />Have a long meeting with that person, ask them many questions, interview him and find out what the real objective is.<br /><br />What you will see with R B thieme jr., is a man who could have gone a different route and published books through publishers and become quite well known far beyond the circle of influence he had but in his humility he focused his energies on his responsibilities toward his sheep and from that conviction he devoted himself to studying and teaching so that you may take the doctrine you learn with you and apply it outside of church, in life.<br /><br />His style and his choice to teach as often as he did may not be something you find in another ministry but it's essential that you do find something similar in the way of emphasis of studying and teaching by the pastor.<br /><br />Sit and listen, does he teach or does he simply moralize and tell stories in the pulpit? <br /><br />Also find out if becoming a member requires too many things that invade your privacy as a Believer priest. There are churches that do that and then when you decide not to be a member there can be a very difficult extraction so you have to learn about those things as well.<br /><br />It will take your time God will enlighten your mind as you seek a church home, he promises that. <br /><br />It is such a great pleasure to meet you Cindy, and learn of your commitment to learning sound Doctrine and growing in your faith.Alex A.

In the discussion you were discussing the teachings of R.B. Thieme, Jr. I have recently begun listening to Pastor Thieme's discs and agree with some that he can be extremely hard core. Although I do believe listening to the tapes will give me a better understanding of bible teachings, I like to think I can shift through some of the more shocking opinions of Pastor Thieme so I can stick to the facts of God's word.<br /><br />My big question is this: I'm looking around for a church. I'm Catholic by baptism, but haven't practiced in decades. I feel a calling to be around other like-minded Christians as myself, but I don't even know where to begin. The last time I wandered into a church it was the Church of Nazarene and I couldn't run away fast enough.<br /><br />Do you have any recommendations?<br /><br />Thank you,<br />CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807961978752125912noreply@blogger.com
