    Are you Dr Victor D Hanson, a classicist, military historian?

    @katherinekim2808 Sorry, I thought I had answered this before. Nope, not that Hanson and not related. I was in the Army, served as a missionary in Japan, Hollywood, and Peru, now retired and living the good life traveling around the US.

    Wonderful job, guys. God bless you. I am a Ruling Elder Emeritus in the Presbyterian Church in America, and have kept up with you for 40 years. We are brothers in arms; I thank the Lord for you very day. There's only one difference I have with you today, though. I'm not from New Orleans, but live close enough to get schooled on pronunciation when I visit there. The locals will tell you it's New Oar'-lens, not New Oar-leans'. They can get a little testy about that!

    The behavior of the Brothers who are supposed to be under shepherds is astonishing. Are you telling me they can't find 15 minutes before the big convention to look at his power point?

    What circles do I need to be running in to be aware of all of this stuff? I was in CA and knew a motion got referred and was in NOLA to get to vote for it. But how do be positioned to know about stuff like the website, Twitter, letter (which i would gladly sign on to)? I had no idea all of this other stuff was going on.

    When I hear of brothers having experiences like this it makes me wonder why Baptists have fellowship with the SBC. It certainly helps explain their declining membership.

    What is the sex divide, male/female, of MDiv grads coming from our seminaries? When I was there, there was a noticeable few and growing. I understand that now, there are many more. When I was in SEBTS, I was told to sign a release since I’d been divorced and remarried, to hold SEBTS harmless, should I not be able to find employment in a SB church. Now, I understand, they don’t care able divorce. They have bigger fish to fry. But, might they need to have their female students sing such a release, should this amendment be adopted?

    The bigger issue for you should be IF God Himself has called you for service. How do you know that without a doubt ?💁‍♂️ Ephesians Chapter 4:11 Just because you have a seminary degree and you are a man is not the Lord's criteria for being part of the Five fold ministry. Are you called ? Are you prepared? Have you been sent by Christ as being ready to serve? IF Christ has sent you to say pastor , He will provide all that you require as you walk in FAITH. God provides for His purposes! WHY do you need to beg SBC for a "job", this is not a job as the world gives it but your PURPOSE ! This is where AMERICAN churches have failed and I bet God does not know most of the churches and pastors. These are just religious people without the Holy Spirit which is dangerous. May the LORD give us understanding.

    What is God's plan? His plan is to preach Jesus to harvest souls. That is our job and Warren has done an excellent job doing so, without preaching Trump and politics. We have been a part of Saddleback for a couple of years and every time there is a call to repentance and the healing love of Jesus to fix all of our hurts. How is that message hurting the church? Why is saving the world for Jesus' bad? Warren, Andy and Stacy all speak of God's greatness, I have never heard any of them boast, like when Trump said "Only I can do it' and the fallen church flocked to him and worshiped the man of lawlessness Trump, not Saddleback. Jesu didn't want us pointing fingers at sinners, He wants to save them, especially the fallen church, which SBC is a part of. The result of his ministry is salvation touching millions of people for Jesus. I lived in Irvine and was saved during the Jesus Revolution. Unfortunately, Calvary Chapel has followed the bigoted preachers of SBC, while Saddleback brought salvation to a community full of sin, pride, greed and rebellion. My parents needed to get me out of the element and moved us up North. How is what Rick teaches contrary to scripture. not your opinion, but what the Word says. How is what he preaches improper? and unbiblical? He doesn't protect pedophiles and perverts in his church, like SBC and Catholics have done. His church does not worship Trump, more than God. Warren has God's spirit in him, and millions of people responds to, even though to look at him, you wouldn't think that he would have all these qualities, but God knows what He is doing and has blessed Rick and Saddleback abundantly! I now live in Northern California and have watched up close and personal the evil doers and deaths from Covid was released by Bethel, a church once committed to God is now committed to money and Trump. They have definitely made the North State suffer with their ungodly ministry of Covid death. What do you think Jesus meant, when he told of a day, He would reject the church for following the man of lawlessness Trump. He's not talking to sinners; he is talking to the church. Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ All of your arguments against Rick and Saddleback are weak, especially in view of the 80% that have fallen away to follow a sexual predator and criminal in Trump.
