I don't respond well to loud no...I agree Lisa. I don't respond well to loud noise and endless sermons. There's a point where the speaker needs to be aware of the people they are speaking to. I remember a long time ago I heard snoring at Church. lol Our example is Jesus.Karen Kyle Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519939237365240288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882250860290921060.post-39840219790799735692016-05-04T09:51:21.394-04:002016-05-04T09:51:21.394-04:00I've always been turned off by loud and pushy ...I've always been turned off by loud and pushy people...especially in the pulpit or in the Christian community. I always compare the way they are talking to the way Jesus talked in the gospels.<br />That's one of the reasons I love the church I attend, everyone is gentle and soft spoken when it comes to ministering to people who are new in the faith, or those who have come to find out more...and as a result, we've been seeing quite a few come to the Lord. I just got done talking with the head of our ladies ministry about taking the time to disciple a new lady in Bible study; her mom used to come, and after she passed away, the daughter got so much love from us, that she is now attending! I think that 'the talk' or the conversation needs to continue, because the hearts and minds of people can be drawn away from the Lord so easily by the things of the world...Now is not a time for us to be quiet about our faith! This also goes for those of us who are called to edify and encourage other Christians...This is needed daily, especially the more we see this world turning darker and darker.Never Forsakenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537083795724752514noreply@blogger.com
