LOL, when they are probably not.

Hey!

 

[Tim]

Did you really laugh out loud? Be honest, brother.

Intentional.

Yes, I did! I'm just trying to follow in God's footsteps because, as we know, He has an excellent sense of humor! (see what I did there?!)

CHURCH LEADERSHIP*

_______

* That is anything that is said in connection with Pastors & others. Christ is the Supreme Head and King of His Church and there is no such thing as Church Leadership outside of him.

 

[Unoriginalname]

Authentic

 

[rbcbob]

"To be honest"

 

[Gforce9]

Nouning, or verbing, or whatever you want to call taking a perfectly good noun and turning it into a verb: tasking, gifting, prioritizing, etc.

Well, for better or worse, such is historically the natural way of language development.

I haven't looked at this to much, but do collective nouns and/or verbs fit in a legitimate category?

Also, Missional, Authentic, Salvation Experience, Relevant all must go!

 

[Edward]

and there is no such thing as Church Leadership outside of him.

Sounds like that might be along the lines of a Quaker view. I'd invoke WCF 31.3 as recognizing church government. 25.6 speaks of spiritual headship, not congregational governance. I'm not that familiar with your body. Do you all not have a leadership of ruling and teaching elders?

 

[Edward]

2. "Sufficient for all, efficient for the elect"

I'll dissent on this one as well.

 

[Jack K]

I decided to read through my own church's website to see what was there. I found the following offenders:

Community (used about a dozen times)
Spiritual journey
Go deep
Head and heart

 

[Matthias]

"vision"
pastor for preaching and vision
worship arts

 

[mvdm]

winsome

 

[tommyb]

"personal narrative"

 

[JOwen]

"Let me be clear", and "Let me be crystal clear". Dislike both.

I also disagree, brother.

"For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness." (Romans 12:3-8 ESV)
