There is great cause for celebration here, for there is no title on Earth that can be given to a human than that of PASTOR!

Pastors who are faithful to The WORD of GOD, and who faithfully Preach The WORD, when it's popular and when it is not, have more lasting impact in the lives of other human beings than doctors, congressional representatives, dignitaries, even Presidents and Kings.



The others have some value in this Life, but Pastors who are "worth their salt," guide us unto Everlasting LIFE!

Of ALL humans that I have ever known personally, my Dad IS the Greatest! For more than four decades, Dad was not only my Dad, but also my Pastor, my Mentor, my Prayer Warrior, and my Friend.

Fathers are the very first impression of the existence of GOD that any child ever has!

If that Father is not there, or not there for that child, then the child begins to believe that GOD does not exist!

If that Father is abusive, (either...verbally, physically, sexually,) then that child gets the impression that GOD is mean and abusive.



However, if that man tries to be a good father (no matter how badly, nor often he may fail at it,) the child gets a good impressions of Who GOD is because even a child can tell that a human Dad can't be perfect. Yet, if he is willing to admit his mistakes and ask the child's forgiveness, then the child still gets the impression that GOD (Who IS Always Greater than Man) is the One Who initiates relationship between GOD and Man, not the other way around.

Pastors shepherd their congregations in much the same way.

If a pastor is "worth his salt," he faithfully preaches The WORD of GOD as TRUTH, no matter how many humans try to deny this FACT!

If a pastor is "worth his salt," he admits his weaknesses, but always with the purpose of building-up the listener with the belief that "My pastor is human, walking on 'feet of clay' just as I am. That gives me HOPE to follow hard after GOD, and to walk faithfully with my pastor."

If a pastor is "worth his salt," he preaches that the Church that Jesus Christ (Yeshua ha Meshiach) founded may be purified by preaching "Hell-Fire & Brimstone" messages in order to balance-out the high level of nauseating Grace-Only sermons that have made our country sick.



If a pastor is "worth his salt," then he preaches for the purpose of making "dyed-in-the-wool wannabes" leave the church that some wannabes can get SAVED, and that the SAVED will get stronger!

Finally, if YOU are an atheist or agnostic Soda Head, then I would like to say how sorry I am for your terrible childhood because you either have a very bad Dad or Granddad, or Great Granddad who did a very bad job of teaching you Who GOD IS, meaning that such individual needs to be "horse-whipped" for giving you such a bad example of The Person of GOD as they lived their lives...

...Or YOU need to be "horse-whipped" for rejecting the GOD-Fearing example that these godly men set in front of you!

Romans 1-2 and I Corinthians 1-2 remind ALL SAVED individuals that the reason we are SAVED today is that The LORD was kind enough to put someone in our lives to tell us The TRUTH as HE has revealed it to Man.



Often that individual is a PASTOR!

Blessings, PASTORS! GOD love you! We KNOW that we DO! :)

Hear about Pastoring, Mentoring, Fathering in action for a whole generation of damaged-Men who have been abused by over-zealous feminists to become a growing tribe of atheists and agnostics who have lost their way.

Hurting men of today need to tell feminists to :"Shut-Up!" and let other men, like me, lead them back to a strong and secure FAITH in The ONLY GOD Who CAN SAVE them!

(BTW, Ladies, it's time for YOU to buck-up, too, and NOT get your "drawers all in a wad" when I talk about you with such firmness because you KNOW that I don't want to go back to hyper-patriarchism either. That IS just as bad as hyper-feminism!

[Though I am often accused of just being hateful. I don't hate you personally. I hate the devils that are manipulating your hearts that are "dead in trespasses and sins." My only recourse is to remind them each of the words of Michael in The Book of Jude, and pray that the LORD will be pleased to enforce, "The LORD rebuke thee!" That for the moments necessary they may be forced into silence that you may hear The Voice of GOD'S Holy Spirit, Whom you may not have heard in years.



Be SAVED today! Fall on your faces and cry-out, "LORD, SAVE ME! I AM THE SINNER!"

He WILL! John 3:16; John 6:37; Romans 10:9-10,13; Revelation 3;20

It is just slander of my pure motives of wanting to help you be SAVED for Eternity.

I can't pull you close to the heart of this pastor, until I immobilize your silly emotional "kicking" against the triage of heart that you KNOW that you need from your present SHOCK caused by the Train-Wreck of SOCIETY over the past few decades.]

However, you know good & well that I am against all those "battle-axe women" who aren't pretty enough to get noticed by their looks, so they band together as femininazis to beat-up men and try to make all men into women in order for them to win. THAT is their goal!

Hyper-feminism is personally responsible for the growth of atheism and homosexual behavior in this country due to their crushing and dehumanizing of men for a half-century now, and it IS destroying our country of generations reared in Mother-only Homes!

THAT concept stops HERE! NOW!!!!!!!) :)
