@buttonslives @LeorSapir @realDailyWire Claims of success with any Medical treatment for a mental disorder are highly suspect. Antidepressive medications were highly touted and untrue. Even good Covid vaxes outcomes were not true. Major, lifelong, unchangeable surgery for a mental disorder?

Those who forbid women from being in ministry also forbid pursuing the spiritual gifts. Gifts precede offices and not every gift has an office. Ordination is a non biblical addition to the gifts. These omissions force 90% of Christians out of serving.

Men and women and servants prophesying through the Holy Spirit at Pentecost? Men have been continually trying to shut that down ever since the next day.

@BobHarrington @conservmillen The symptoms we see are similar. IMO, there are few people following the process of Jesus to "Do and Disciple." They walked, talked, and did the work while discussing why. Until we Do and Study together, it will not stick. Coaches talk little; Practice Much.

@erichoke A planter came to see me depressed. His mind was filled with “Stinking Thinking” about what size the church “should be by now”. It was running 25 to 30 excited people meeting in a home. A sem prof said it should be 100. Fantasy met reality.
