đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

Some pastors need to decide if they want to be a PASTOR or a CONTENT CREATOR. đŸ‘€đŸ“±

Because EVERYTHING does not need a photo.

EVERYTHING does not need a video.

EVERYTHING does not need to become a reel.

And every moment of ministry does NOT need proof.

Feeding the homeless? 📾 Get the camera.

Giving out backpacks? 📾 Get the camera.

Somebody joins the church? 📾 GET THE CAMERA! (But did anyone ask THEM if they wanted to be on camera? Lol)

Pastor sweeping the floor? 📾 Hold on! Let me get this angle so everybody can see how humble I am. 😂

Some moments belong to the people you are ministering to, not to your social media page.

And I am NOT against churches or pastors using social media.

USE IT! Livestream. Post clips. Promote your events. Share the Gospel.

Let people see what your church is doing.

But when does documenting ministry become performing ministry?

Because there is a difference between using social media to help your ministry and using ministry to help your social media.

Some pastors have become so concerned with building a platform that the platform is becoming more important than the people they were called to serve.

Everything has to LOOK successful.

Everything has to LOOK packed.

Everything has to LOOK powerful.

Everything has to LOOK like the church is doing something BIG.

Now
 Can we talk about these photo ops with politicians and public officials?

Politician comes to church.

Pastor gets a proclamation.

Big photo.

Handshake.

Post it immediately.

“We were honored today
”

Meanwhile that politician was at somebody else’s church last Sunday doing the SAME THING. 😂

And I’m not knocking anybody who genuinely deserves to be recognized. Some pastors and churches have done incredible work in their communities.

But everybody with a proclamation ain’t necessarily doing proclamation-worthy work.

Sometimes that piece of paper is doing more for the pastor’s image than anything the pastor has done for the community.

Some pastors’ entire social media ministry is:

Come hear me preach here.

Come hear me preach there.

I’m preaching Friday.

I’m preaching Sunday.

I’m preaching next month.

Here’s my anniversary.

Here’s my conference.

Here’s my flyer.

Here’s another flyer.

DO YOU EVER HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY WHEN YOU’RE NOT INVITING US TO COME SEE YOU? 😂👀

Encouragement?
Teaching?
Prayer?
Something that points us toward CHRIST?

Or is your page basically one long commercial for YOU?

📖 John 3:30 says “He must increase, but I must decrease.”

Many of you are making JESUS the supporting actor in YOUR story.

CHRIST has become the backdrop while the pastor has become the brand.

The church is branded.

The pastor is branded.

The conference is branded.

The quotes are branded.

The clothes are branded.

The stage is branded.

And somewhere in all that branding we sprinkle “In the name of JESUS” on it like holy seasoning. 😂

But who is actually increasing?

CHRIST or YOU?

I don’t have a problem with LED screens, lights, nice stages, good cameras, excellent sound or professional production.

Church doesn’t have to look like 1972 to prove GOD is there.

The problem isn’t excellence. The problem is when presentation becomes more important than purpose.

When the sermon starts being written around what will make a good clip.

When every pause is waiting for the crowd reaction.

When every catchy line sounds like it was written for TikTok.

When the camera person already knows exactly when to zoom in.

Are we preaching to the people in the room or performing for the people scrolling? 👀

Some ministry should happen simply because somebody needed you, not because somebody needed to see you doing it.

📖 1 Peter 5:2 says, “Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care.”

Notice whose flock it is.

GOD’S.

Pastor, those people are not your audience.

They’re not your followers.

They’re not your fanbase.

They’re GOD’S people.

And maybe that’s the question we need to ask ourselves.

If the cameras disappeared tomorrow


If Facebook shut down


If Instagram stopped showing your reels


If TikTok never pushed another clip


If nobody posted your sermon


If nobody knew your name outside your church


Would ministry still be enough for you?

Because you don’t have to go viral to be effective.

You don’t need 100,000 followers to be faithful.

You don’t need everybody to know YOUR name for GOD to use you.

Pastor, use the camera.

Use the microphone.

Use the internet.

Use the platform.

Just make sure the platform is pointing people toward CHRIST and not constantly pointing the camera back at YOU. đŸ“±đŸ‘€đŸ”„

Because the church doesn’t need another celebrity.

It needs a SHEPHERD.

đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

📖 Romans 12:15 says “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.”

Do we REALLY do that? 👀

Because I’ve noticed something over the years.

Let a well-known member of the church pass away

EVERYBODY is there.

Deacons. Ushers. Choir. Church packed. All ministries in uniform.

Everybody showing love and supporting the family.

And that’s exactly how a church SHOULD show up. ❀

But then another member of the SAME church passes away

And because they weren’t as well-known, didn’t have a title, or weren’t in your circle ⭕

Where is everybody? 👀

Same church.

Same church family.

Completely different level of support.

And it doesn’t only happen when somebody dies.

Let certain members graduate, celebrate an accomplishment, have a special event, or reach a milestone

The whole church shows up. đŸ‘đŸŸđŸŽ‰

But let another member celebrate the same things.

Crickets. 🩗

So I have to ask: When Romans 12:15 says “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn” did we add: “Depending on WHO it is?”

Because it starts looking like a popularity contest.

And before somebody says, “Everybody can’t make everything
”

I KNOW.

People work.
People have families.
People have responsibilities.

Nobody can attend every funeral, celebration, or event.

But I’m talking about the PATTERN.

Because somehow when it’s certain people, everybody finds a way.

But when it’s somebody else?

Nobody can make it.
Nobody calls.
Nobody sends a card.
Nobody texts.
Nobody checks on them.

That’s different.

We call ourselves a church FAMILY, but family shouldn’t mean we only show up for the relatives we like the most.

The member sitting quietly in the back is just as much a part of YOUR church family as the person whose name everybody knows.

They shouldn’t need a title.

They shouldn’t need to be in the choir.

They shouldn’t need to be an officer.

They shouldn’t need to hang around the “right people.”

And they definitely shouldn’t have to be popular to experience love from THEIR OWN CHURCH FAMILY. ❀

📖 James 2:1 says believers in JESUS CHRIST “must not show favoritism.”

The context deals with special treatment based on wealth and status, but maybe OUR churches need to examine ourselves too đŸ€”

Have we created our own levels of importance among our members? 👀

Because when one of YOUR church members is celebrating


SHOW LOVE. ❀

And when one of YOUR church members is grieving


SHOW LOVE. ❀

Not because they’re popular.

Not because they have a title.

Not because you’re close friends.

Because that’s YOUR brother or sister in CHRIST.

Before I end, let me ask you: Do we really rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn, or only when it’s somebody we like, know, or consider important enough?

Because if the amount of love somebody receives from their own church depends on how popular they are in that church

We need to stop calling that FAMILY. đŸ‘€đŸ”„

And start calling it HOLLYWOOD. 🎬😂

đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

Is your church a CULT or showing signs that it’s becoming one? đŸ‘€đŸš©

This is NOT about bashing the church. I LOVE the church. The TRUE church. No church is perfect. No pastor is perfect. No member is perfect.

But loving the church doesn’t mean ignoring unhealthy behavior happening IN our churches.

SO
 FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT!

Pastors are there for spiritual guidance, NOT spiritual dictatorship.

A covering, not a lid. 👀

đŸš© When THEIR rules start becoming GOD’S rules.

Some churches create rules the Bible itself does not require.

“You can’t wear pants.”
“You can’t wear jewelry.”
“You can’t watch certain movies.”
“You have to dress this particular way.”
“You can’t associate with certain people.”
“Everybody always has to be dressed in matching uniforms.”

A church having standards isn’t the problem.

The problem starts when keeping THEIR standards becomes the measurement for whether YOU are holy, spiritual, or right with GOD.

📖 Colossians 2:20–23 warns about submitting to human regulations like “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!” and says these things can have an appearance of wisdom.

In other words
 Be careful when somebody puts restrictions on you that GOD didn’t, then condemns you for not following them.

“I didn’t see you at Bible study Tuesday.”

“You must not be serious about GOD.”

WAIT. How did YOUR Tuesday night schedule become the measurement for MY relationship with GOD?

đŸš© When your relationship with GOD becomes tied to your relationship with the pastor.

Disagree with Pastor? “You’re out of order.”

Question something? “You’re rebellious.”

Leave the church? “You left your covering.”

And PLEASE be careful with language that makes disagreeing with a pastor sound like disagreeing with GOD.

Your pastor is NOT GOD.

Submission to spiritual leadership is biblical.

But when submission is preached by the pastor ALL THE FREAKING TIME


Or when every guest preacher somehow ends up preaching about honoring the pastor.

When everything comes back to loyalty to “the man or woman of GOD”

PAY ATTENTION. đŸš©

Because CHRIST should always be bigger than the personality standing in the pulpit.

đŸš© When respectful questions are treated like rebellion.

I’m not talking about somebody looking for a “GOTCHA” moment.

I’m talking about genuine questions.

“Pastor, can you explain this?”

“Where is that in Scripture?”

“I don’t understand why we do this.”

And instead of an answer, you get offended leadership, a rebuke, or a sermon mysteriously about “rebellious members” the following Sunday. 😂👀

đŸš© When church keeps you so busy that you barely have a life outside of church.

Sunday service.
Monday meeting.
Tuesday Bible study.
Wednesday Prayer Meeting.
Thursday rehearsal.
Friday program.
Saturday something else.

Then start over. đŸ˜©đŸ˜‚

And you feel GUILTY for missing anything.

Take your spouse to dinner? “Where were you?”

Family vacation? “You missed service.”

Spend time with your children? “There was a program at church.”

Your family should not have to compete with your church for YOU.

Church involvement is good.

Serving is good.

But constantly keeping people exhausted, guilty, and available for every program is NOT spiritual maturity.

đŸš© When counsel becomes PERMISSION.

There is nothing wrong with asking your pastor for advice.

Actually, wise counsel is a GOOD thing.

📖 Proverbs 15:22 says “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”

But counsel and control are two completely different things.

“You didn’t tell me you were dating them.”

“You didn’t tell me you were going back to school.”

“You changed jobs without talking to me?”

“You bought a car and didn’t pass it by me?”

“You booked a vacation without telling me?”

WHY DID I NEED YOUR PERMISSION???

Pastors can help GUIDE your decisions.

They don’t get to MAKE your decisions.

You are an adult.

đŸš© When everybody who leaves becomes the enemy.

Someone can give a church 10, 15, 20 years of their life.

Serve.
Give.
Show up.
Help build ministries.
Be there every time the doors open.

But let them decide GOD is leading them somewhere else


Suddenly nobody speaks to them.

“They’re rebellious.”
“They’re bitter.”
“They’re outside the will of GOD.”

And members are scared to even fellowship with them because they don’t want leadership thinking they’re being disloyal.

That is a RED FLAG. đŸš©

Leaving YOUR church does not mean somebody left CHRIST.

đŸš© When members are treated like they belong to the pastor.

“That’s MY member.”
“You knew they belonged to MY church.”
“Why are they over at YOUR church?”

Excuse me?

📖 1 Peter 5:2–3 tells pastors to “Be shepherds of GOD’S flock that is under your care
 not lording it over those entrusted to you.”

Read that language carefully.

GOD’S flock.

Entrusted to YOU.

Pastor, those are GOD’S people.

You don’t OWN them.

Even when GOD told Pharaoh to release Israel, HE kept saying:

“Let MY people go, so that they may worship ME.” Exodus 8:1 📖

MY people.

They belonged to GOD.

And if a pastor ever makes you believe you cannot fulfill GOD’S call on YOUR life without THEIR influence, permission, platform, or approval


PLEASE recognize the control and manipulation in that. đŸš©

Your pastor can help you.
Teach you.
Counsel you.
Correct you.
Pray for you.
Encourage you.

But your pastor did not CALL you. GOD did.

And maybe one of the biggest red flags of all


If you read this entire post and you’re afraid to even CONSIDER whether any of these things are happening in your church?

đŸš©đŸš©đŸš©

This post is not telling you to disrespect your pastor.

It’s telling you to make sure you haven’t given a pastor authority that belongs to GOD.

Because pastors are supposed to help lead people to CHRIST.

Not make people dependent on THEM. đŸ‘€đŸ”„

đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

We confused HONORING church leadership with making church leadership UNTOUCHABLE.

Ask a legitimate question = You’re being rebellious.

Question something they taught = Don’t touch GOD’s anointed.

Hold somebody accountable = You’re causing division.

Expose something wrong, and somehow everybody gets mad at the person who exposed it instead of the person who DID IT.

We’ve created this spiritual immunity around titles where Pastor, Bishop, Apostle, Prophet can shut down a conversation before it even starts.

Listen
 I’m not against titles.

Call yourself Bishop.
Call yourself Apostle.
Call yourself the Refreshment Committee Pastor if you want to. 😂

My problem is when your title becomes your SHIELD.

Because if I can’t question your conduct, challenge your teaching, examine your claims, or call you out when you’re wrong.

Your title is no longer identifying your service.

It’s protecting your power.

📖 Galatians 2:11 says, “When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.”

Cephas is Peter.

Wait a minute
 PETER???

The Peter who walked with JESUS?

The Peter JESUS personally chose?

The Peter who preached on Pentecost?

THAT Peter got publicly challenged by Paul when he was wrong.

So please explain to me how your Bishop became too important to question.

Peter has a far better resume than anybody we’re “scared” to question today. 😂

📖 1 Timothy 5:19 says not to entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses.

That protects leaders from reckless accusations and gossip.

BUT KEEP READING


Verse 20 says, “But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove before everyone, so that the others may take warning.”

So the same Bible that protects leadership from FALSE accusations does NOT give leadership permission to keep doing wrong.

We protect the title and attack the questioner.

David was KING.

GOD chosen and anointed him.

Yet after David committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged Uriah’s death, Nathan walked right up to the KING and said:

“YOU ARE THE MAN!” 2 Samuel 12:7 📖

Nathan didn’t say, “Well, he’s the king, so let me stay in my place.”

Being KING didn’t make David untouchable.

We’ve got to stop being more offended by EXPOSURE than we are by what was EXPOSED.

Cheating.
Stealing church funds.
Sexual abuse.
Financial manipulation.
Fraud.
Twisting Scripture.

People will see wrongdoing right in front of their faces and STILL defend it because of the title attached to the person doing it.

📖 James 3:1 says teachers “will be judged more strictly.”

So according to Scripture, The higher the responsibility, the higher the standard.

Your title is your responsibility. It is NOT your immunity.

If Peter could be confronted

If David could be confronted

If Scripture says elders can be confronted


WHO exactly is too anointed to be held accountable? 👀

That’s the question.

Because we can honor and respect your title or position, but we will NOT ignore your behavior.

đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

Some of us only call it a blessing because it’s what we wanted.

You got the opportunity.

The money came through.

They said YES.

The relationship happened.

The door opened.

And immediately you say “LOOK AT GOD!!! đŸ™ŒđŸŸâ€

But did GOD actually send it?

Because everything that works out in YOUR favor doesn’t necessarily come from GOD.

GOD told Jonah to go to Nineveh. Jonah decided he was going to Tarshish instead.

📖 Jonah 1:3 “But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port.”

👀 WAIT
 Jonah was running from GOD? AND THEN FOUND A SHIP GOING EXACTLY WHERE HE WANTED TO GO.

There was transportation available.

There was room for him.

He had the money to pay the fare.

Everything lined up perfectly.

And he was still going the WRONG WAY.

We have a habit of using circumstances as confirmation.

“If it wasn’t GOD, the door wouldn’t have opened.”

“If GOD didn’t want me with them, why did we meet?”

“If it wasn’t meant for me, why did everything work out?”

JONAH FOUND THE SHIP.

Sometimes the opportunity exists simply because the opportunity exists.

The better question isn’t just “Did the door open?”

It’s “Does walking through this door require me to disobey what GOD already said?”

Because an open door can tell you where you CAN go.

It cannot tell you where GOD told you to go. đŸ‘€đŸ”„

09/08/2026

9/8/26

đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

STOP thinking you’re behind.

Every time you turn around, somebody your age is announcing something


Engaged! 💍
New house! 🏠
New job! 💰
New car! 🚗
Starting businesses. đŸ’»
Getting promoted. 📈
Another vacation! ✈
Making more money. 💰

And if you’re not careful, you’ll start looking at everything happening for everybody else and wondering “GOD, what about ME?”

Meanwhile, you might be making progress in your own life, but can’t see it because you’re too busy looking at theirs.

Their life is not the measuring stick for YOUR life.

📖 Galatians 6:4 says “Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else.”

Sometimes comparison will have you so focused on what GOD is doing for others that you miss what HE is doing for YOU.

Maybe you’re not where THEY are, but are you further than where YOU used to be?

Did you grow?
Did you learn?
Did you survive something you thought would break you?
Did you make progress nobody else knows about?
Did you finally get serious about something you kept putting off?

THAT COUNTS TOO.

And please remember


You’re comparing your whole life to the part of theirs they decided to post online.

You don’t know what it cost them.

You don’t know what they went through to get it.

You don’t know what they’re dealing with after the picture was taken.

And most importantly
 THAT’S THEIR LIFE.

GOD didn’t call you to keep up with them.

HE called you to be faithful with YOUR life.

So today, stop asking “Why am I not where THEY are?”

And start asking “GOD, what should I be doing with where I am?”

You are not in competition with somebody else’s marriage, money, ministry, career, body, house, business, or timeline.

Keep praying. đŸ™đŸŸ
Keep working. đŸ’Œ
Keep growing. đŸŒ±
Keep becoming better.

Celebrate people when it’s their turn without thinking their blessing means GOD forgot where you live.

You’re not behind in THEIR race, because you were never running THEIR race. đŸ‘€đŸ”„

9/7/26

đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

We LOVE talking about how GOD can change people until it’s someone we “know”. 👀

We believe GOD can save.
GOD can deliver.
GOD can restore.
GOD can turn somebody’s whole life around.

We’ll shout about it all Sunday. đŸ™ŒđŸŸ

But let somebody walk into service whose business we KNOW.

“HER??? 👀”

“HIM??? Ain’t no way.”

“I remember when
”

And THAT’S the problem.

You remember.
You remember what they did.
You remember who they slept with.
You remember what they were addicted to.
You remember what they did in the streets.
You remember who they USED to be.

And apparently you remember it so well that you’ve forgotten what GOD can do.

After Saul encountered JESUS and became a disciple, he went to Jerusalem and tried to join the disciples.

📖 Acts 9:26 “They were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple.”

They knew Saul’s HISTORY.

This was the man who had been persecuting Christians!

So when he showed up talking about JESUS, they basically said “SAUL??? THAT SAUL???”

And I understand why they were skeptical, but GOD had done something in Saul that they hadn’t seen before.

And some of us are doing the same thing today.

We keep judging people by the last version of them WE remember.

Meanwhile GOD has been working on a version of them WE haven’t met yet.

This doesn’t mean wisdom goes out the window.

It doesn’t mean trust has to be restored overnight.

And it doesn’t mean everybody who says “I changed” actually changed.

But when there is REAL fruit that they’ve changed, at some point you have to stop holding them hostage to who they USED to be.

Who are WE to act like GOD can’t change somebody when WE are only standing here because HE changed us?

And maybe we need to be careful looking down on who somebody USED to be, because have you forgotten who YOU used to be? 👀

You weren’t always saved.
You weren’t always delivered.
You didn’t always have it all together.

There are things GOD brought YOU out of that you don’t even want people to know about. đŸ€ŠđŸŸâ€â™‚ïž

So how dare we celebrate the grace that changed US, then question whether that same grace can change THEM?

You are somebody’s proof that GOD can change people too.

Don’t get so saved that you forget YOU needed saving. đŸ™ŒđŸŸ

9/4/26

đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

Some of the MEANEST people I’ve ever met are Christians. 👀

You feed the hungry. Help families. Give away clothes. Serve the community. Give donations. Show up when somebody is in need.

And all of that is GOOD.

But then sometimes the same people doing all that good will talk to the people they’re helping like they’re getting on their nerves for needing the help.

Then the event is over and you go right back to gossiping about them and each other.

Talking about other church members.

Talking about the pastor.

Being rude to the server because they got your order wrong.

Talking crazy to the cashier because the line is moving too slow.

Treating complete strangers like they’re beneath you.

Then Sunday comes and it’s

“PRAISE THE LORD EVERYBODY!!!” đŸ™ŒđŸŸ 😂

Something’s not adding up.

📖 1 Corinthians 13:3 says “If I give all I possess to the poor
 but do not have love, I gain nothing.”

So apparently doing good for people and loving people are not automatically the same thing.

Because you can give somebody something and still treat them like trash.

Then Paul tells us what love looks like “Love is patient, love is kind
” 1 Corinthians 13:4 📖

Now maybe the question isn’t only “How much good do you do?”

Maybe we also need to ask “How do people feel after dealing with you?”

You can give somebody a bag of groceries and embarrass them while handing it to them.

You can pay somebody’s bill and make sure everybody knows they needed your help.

You can serve the whole community and then go home and tear everybody apart on the phone. đŸ“±

The GOOD you did was still good.

But where was the LOVE?

We’ve gotten really good at showing people our Christianity through what we DO for them.

Maybe it’s time we start showing it in how we TREAT them too. 💯

Because if I have to catch you on a Sunday to see CHRIST in you


something is wrong.

9/3/26

đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

Some of y’all don’t want a pastor. You want a leader who agrees with your lifestyle. 👀

You want somebody to preach against everybody else’s sin, but get mad when the sermon finds YOUR address.

As long as the pastor is correcting THEM it’s “PREACH PASTOR!!!” đŸ”„đŸ™ŒđŸŸ

But the minute the Word starts correcting YOU


“He’s doing too much.”

“She’s judging.”

“I don’t receive that.”

“I think GOD is leading me somewhere else.” 😂

And before somebody builds another straw man


NO, I’m not saying every pastor is right.

NO, I’m not saying you should stay under bad leadership.

I’m talking about when what you’re being taught is actually supported by Scripture and you STILL reject it because you don’t like what it requires of YOU.

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” 📖 2 Timothy 4:3

👀 READ THAT AGAIN.

“To suit their own desires
”

In other words
 Sometimes the problem isn’t that you can’t find a good church.

The problem is you’re looking for a church where YOU get to remain the same.

You’ll keep changing churches.

Changing pastors.

Changing denominations.

Changing what preacher you watch online.

Until you finally find the one who tells you, YOU were right the whole time.

But following CHRIST requires something a lot of us don’t like and that’s CORRECTION.

📖 2 Timothy 3:16 says Scripture is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

Notice it didn’t say Scripture is only useful for CONFIRMING WHAT YOU ALREADY BELIEVE.

Sometimes GOD’s Word is supposed to tell you YOU’RE WRONG.

And if every time Scripture challenges your behavior, beliefs, attitude, relationships, money, s*x life, pride, forgiveness, or choices, you suddenly need a “new church” and a “new pastor”

If you keep looking for a pastor who will tell you what your itching ears want to hear


You’re not looking for a pastor. You’re looking for a co-signer.

And GOD never promised to agree with you. HE told YOU to agree with HIM.

đŸ€” Can I say something without y’all getting mad?

Some of y’all need to learn how to READ what somebody ACTUALLY said before you start arguing. You read a post, get offended by the first three sentences, and immediately start typing.

Now you’re writing three paragraphs arguing against something NOBODY SAID. 😂

That’s called a STRAW MAN FALLACY.

You take what somebody ACTUALLY said.

Change it into something they DIDN’T say.

Then argue against the version YOU CREATED.

And somehow walk away thinking you proved something. 😂

Because
 you didn’t.

You won an argument WITH YOURSELF.

And people did the same thing to JESUS.

Jesus said “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 📖 John 2:19 NIV

John tells us HE was talking about HIS BODY.

But later, when JESUS was on trial, someone testified “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands
’” 📖 Mark 14:58 NIV

That’s NOT what HE said. 👀

JESUS said: “DESTROY this temple
”

They changed it to “I WILL DESTROY this temple
”

Those aren’t the same statement.

They changed HIS words, then attacked HIM for the words THEY put in HIS mouth.

And I already know somebody is going to read THIS post and say “Cory comparing himself to JESUS.” 😂😂😂

NO. I used something that happened to JESUS as an EXAMPLE of the argument.

Saying I compared myself to JESUS would literally be ANOTHER STRAW MAN. 😂

You would prove the post WHILE ARGUING WITH THE POST. 👀

PLEASE don’t make this that easy for me. 😂

I say “Question what your pastor teaches and compare it to Scripture.”

You hear “Cory doesn’t respect pastors.”

WHO SAID THAT? 😂

I say “Church attendance doesn’t make you saved.”

You hear “Cory said we don’t need to attend church.”

WHERE DID I SAY THAT? 👀

I question a particular practice.

You start telling me about all the GOOD somebody does.

I DIDN’T QUESTION THE GOOD.

I question whether something agrees with Scripture.

You start defending something I NEVER ATTACKED.

Then I have to spend 20 comments explaining an argument THAT I NEVER MADE.

At some point, that’s not disagreement. YOU JUST DIDN’T READ.

Proverbs 18:13 says “To answer before listening, that is folly and shame.”

Some of y’all aren’t reading to understand. You’re reading to RESPOND.

You’re so busy trying to defend what you already believe that you’re answering questions nobody asked and correcting statements nobody made.

And then have the nerve to say I’M wrong.

You absolutely have the right to disagree with me.

Bring the Scripture.
Bring the context.
Bring the argument.
But PLEASE argue against what I ACTUALLY SAID.

Because defeating an argument you created in your own head just means you beat yourself. 👀😂
