Particularly older members. (the Pastor was always kind, but his assistants were not). This guy has a point. But then again, maybe we just shouldn't have gone to that church..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9220350303470558893.post-64375762728454463502012-01-16T16:32:26.945-06:002012-01-16T16:32:26.945-06:00Hi this is the author of this article.

Christians are never going to agree 100% on every theological detail and that's OK! As long as Christ is being preached....let's rejoice! I think it's great that a video preaching Christ is quickly gaining so much popularity....why put so much effort into "critiquing" this???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9220350303470558893.post-42069696707518354752012-01-16T13:38:14.300-06:002012-01-16T13:38:14.300-06:00Why are you "sure" that the guy in the v...Why are you "sure" that the guy in the video has his "heart in the right place"? <br />I would think that a guy with his heart in the right place would have talked to his pastor and elders before posting the video.
