Target’s transgender bathroom policy gives “perverts and pedophiles” a chance to pounce on their prey, a Mt. Juliet pastor said in a viral video rant. On Friday evening, Pastor Greg Locke of Global Vision Bible Church posted a video on his Facebook page blasting Target’s transgender bathroom policy. His online rant has garnered 14 million views since it went up, according to The Tennessean. Pastor Locke recorded the now-viral video after he visited a Target outlet in Mt. Juliet and was told that…

Putman et al. gave a fantastic foundation of what a true pastor should look like when he said, “…enter ministry with authenticity—forgiven by God, continually cleansed from sin, and a model of growth, not perfection.” In order for a pastor to be effective in his role, he must strive to live out such authenticity. In addition, it is necessary that a pastor understand that Christ is alive. We serve a god who cares immensely about each disciple. Therefore,…

an apprentice of an artist named, Leon Bonnat. He studied with Bonnat in France from 1877-1878. Once Brooke returned from France he created one of his most famous paintings, “A Pastoral Visit.”2 This painting portrays an elderly, African-American pastor sitting for a meal with an African-American family in a calm, comfortable setting. The mood of this painting is warm and hospitable.…

years, I’ve spent many hours thinking about how I would direct a church if I were its pastor. I have a very definite view of what I would like to accomplish. In chapter one, the author discusses church culture and makes the point that it is the church culture that makes churches different, not necessarily the size of the church.

Identity is what we defined as recognizing and accepting your own personality as a whole. For some people, it is difficult to recognize or accept themselves because of other people’s opinions or their own experiences in life. The people who take other’s opinion seriously do not realized that they are judging themselves; while the people who let their experiences defined them. Identity can change based on many factors and it takes time to understand what your identity is. A great example is my…

on because he was the pastor of the church. Seeing him with the veil on made some people very uncomfortable because they were not used to that kind of behavior from their pastor. It made one woman so uncomfortable that she walked out of the church. In addition to her walking many of the members started looking around to see if anyone knows why in the world that he was wearing a black veil. Even though the minister wore a black veil, he still had a reason to wear it. Pastor Hooper wore the…

world to win people to Himself by love. This requires that people want Jesus more than gain, more than miracles/sensationalism. The third strand is seen in the great gap in the salaries of pastors in the Church. There are pastors who minister in large congregations and receive a large salary. There are also pastors who serve small churches and even in some denominations two or three small churches and receive smaller salaries. Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven is like the landowner who went…

Florida megachurch pastor Paula White has earned criticism after she said U.S. President Donald Trump is “authentically raised up by God” and even compared his election to the biblical story of Queen Esther. In an appearance on the PTL Network’s “The Jim Bakker Show” broadcast on Aug. 22, Pastor White likened Trump’s rise to the presidency to Queen Esther’s coronation as a respected queen even though she was an unlikely candidate for the position. She spoke in the wake of the president’s speech…

of the then pastor, Dr. Sola Aworinde. Several cells were created in different parts of the city of Lagos. Each of them became fellowship centers meeting primarily on Sunday evenings. They were called Home Fellowships. In due time, the Church decided on a policy of planting new churches using the Home Cells as the core group for each new plant. Following this, they planted four Churches in 2001. None, however, was in Victoria Island. In 2002, Rev. Amos Achi Kunat, became the pastor of New…
