Showtime! Confession with Jazz music in the background? Emotional manipulation.
Are we these days in theater? It makes me sick to see the charismatic spirit in our churches.
Says the true witness: “I know thy works…”

It seems a lot of folk made the climb into the judgment seat without checking whether they need major eye (I) surgery themselves first! When I was growing up,
we were reminded why the creator gave us five fingers , so that one pointed at an accused party but the rest challenge the ethics considered by the accuser! Help us Lord, remove ourselves down from the
Judgment seat lest we accuse ourselves*

Back in 2020, he marched in Selma with Black Lives Matter around the court house in Selma AL. It was publicized in Southern Tidings. I thought pastors were not supposed to get into politics. Now 5 years later, where is Black Lives Matter?

In reply to Peter. You are correct. Nothing is original with us. But sadly, too many of these people like to point out the speck in the eyes of others and ignore the beam in their own eyes. Wow, how spot on Jesus was about church people. The sad part is that these people on the internet hide behind computer keys, rather than following the Bible method of first going to your brother or sister and talking to them one on one. Amazing how church people especially, conveniently avoid the Bible when it does not line up with what they want to do

It is so sad and horrifying that this man shows no humilityand sincerity to admit that he has transgressed God’s Holy Law;
To call sin by its right name, he has broken the:
3rd Commandment – taking the Lord’s name in vain, because he committed open sin.

5th Commandment – he Dishonored God with this sin.

8th Commandment – he stole someone else’s sermon.

9th Commandment – he used someone else’s sermon without informing the listeners. When you are invited to give a sermon, those who invited you naturally assume that you are bringing your own message, and that this message is from you.

Just to name a few!

Verbal apologies are not something that should be done in our church, we are called to confess and repented of our sins. A deep confession is what’s needed, and this would tell us if he is on the right track. Then there should conclude works meet for repentance. This means that his repentance should be demonstrated with action not with words, because of his position and responsibilities, if he is contritite in heart, he would feel the necessity to prove his honesty and sincerity.

This man is a minister! This so called apology shows his lack of reverence and respect of God – the fear of God, despite the fact that his sin demonstrates the lack of the fear of God, and respect and love for the flock.

“6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: ”
Matthew 3:6-8 KJV

We always quote the Word of God.
Does He accuse us of plagiarism?
In the gospel,none is original.
In the physical world we live in,none is original Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being;..

Let God be uplifted and self destroyed.Those who seek originality seek their own Glory.They’ll soon be abased when the True and ONLY Original makes known His TRUE GLORY at the appearance of His Only Begotten.

When man assumes the place of God,they want to force apologies out of people and go farther to even scrutinize the attitude,manner and genuineness of the apology.
Great surprises await us on the final day,at the last Trump of Jesus.

His apology is weird and gas lightly

If he’s to apologise for something then should just say he’s sorry and that you’re not do it again, making suggestions that it was only 1/10th of the sermon does not seem particularly sincere or repentive

Speaking of repentance should he not be held accountable for inviting Franklin Graham to sing the “Pick your Sabbath” Song?!?

Those sorts of apostasies make people think he isn’t really a Seventh Day Adventist.
(but a people pleaser)
