    Reynolds stated that he has another viewpoint on this:

    NUmber 5 is a bunch of junk. If the pastor is truly a shepherd, they will leave the 99 to seek out the one lost sheep.

    I have a better 7.
    1. Don't shut down
    2. Don't comply with vax mandates.
    3. Don't comply with masking.
    4. Shake hands.
    5. Don't social distance.
    6. Get rid of the stupid sanitizer stations
    7. Quit cowering to the agents of man.

    March 1, 2020 - a few guidelines to just "15 days to slow the spread" issued, and most churches actually BELIEVED the government, the "experts", and with great fear of the unknown, kowtowed.

    I feel now, the DANGER of government overreach is so apparent that it will take 15 years to overcome the loss of freedom.

    But I WILL keep socially distant from some of the strange characters here on the BB. :)

    1) I agree. Don't shut down. My church did not, but we did have some remote meetings at first.
    2) Disagree. We encourage people to follow their conscience and extend grace to everyone.
    3) Disagree. Follow your conscience.
    4) Again, follow your conscience. I can say hello without shaking hands.
    5) Follow your conscience. If you are ill, stay home. If you have a cold, wear a mask. Be considerate of your neighbor.
    6) Disagree. This is just good hygiene.
    7) What does that even mean? Sounds like anarchy talk. Take Romans 13 seriously and stop being so self-centered.

    yea he keeps taking the looking for lost sheep out of context. Church members are not lost sheep if ghey are saved

    In the parable, sheep were all sheep (not goats) whether lost or found. Being a sheep is the nature, the essence.
    So were the coins.
    So were the sons.

    I was one of God's sheep, one of His people, one of His own beloved before I even existed. And always will be. The prodigal son was a son at home and a son in the pigsty. Circumstances and surroundings changed; being a son never changed.
