THIS IS A GOSPEL SITE

[SisterT]

I see the recent postizations concerning the correctivity of the word "conversate". My brothers and sisthers we must continue to enhancimate our vocabulatories through good and helpfully venues, or venuettes, if you will. The word "conversate" is a state of mind that perpituates the subconscioable epitaths of one's being. It is that simple...so, let us continue to conversate on other matters in the same spirit, or spiritette, if you will.
 

Wow!! You be one edge-u-ma-cated conversationalist, or conversationalette, if you will.  :lol: Your vocabulary is constipatative and stimulatative.

Much love

This is for our site developer (4his) and our moderators...

It seems that the pot got a little heated there for a sec but all is well now.

I just have a question and then a comment:

First of all let me start by saying I respect all of you Sister T, 4Hisglory and B3(my brotha up in Korea) and I have leaned on you all for advice on different occasions.

I have to ask us to rethink our philosophy on who we allow to say what.  I feel you Sister T on posting video clips and all but simply asking the question about Mint Condition or another secular group doesn't warrant someone being banned from the site but it only shows us where they are spiritually.  We know people by their fruit and sometimes miss and opportunity to fulfill the great commission by helping mature these brother and sisters.  I don't have to tell you all that we should be making disciples which speaks to maturity through a personal relationship with Jesus.  If we don't teach these folk, they'll just ask the wrong folk the same question that we tried to ask.  

Pardon me but I want the dirtiest, filthiest, grimiest cats around me because I want to show them that the blood of Jesus is more powerful than any demonic force out there. I hate to say it but we sound Scared as if we're going to be contaminated.  Some one even said that it'll get into our spirit.  WOW!  Well I would question my faith if I would turn my back on Jesus that easily.  All he has done for us.  I'm in Japan and when people get save over here, they get saved for real because they lose everything, families isolate them because the abandon the tradtions of their culture.  In Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia they are killing Christians for believing in Jesus.  The Western Church no doubt loves God but doesn't have a revelation of Jesus yet.  Jesus came to bring what the greek calls "sozo"  often used inter-changably with healing, saving, completion etc.  Jesus would let these cats hang out and be themselve but begin to show them the Kingdom.  What are we doing?  We're becoming a exclusive club only permitable to the already healed, already cleaned up, already delivered, already saved.  We have Christian Schools, Christian Day Cares, Christian Credit Unions, Christian Universities, Christian this, Christian that...  That's cool but everything belongs to us why limit ourselves.  We give the world the impression that we want to be isolated.  Why not teacher our kids and teenagers to live holy so we can turn our public schools into Christian schools.  Why not live holy and develop some fruit of the spirit so we can become CEOs of fortune five hundred companies and turn them in to Christian places.

My bad yall...there I go again...preaching what God has given me to everyone else.  If you want to hear more we can PM.  I don't expect anyone to understand what I'm saying...why?  because I remember when we considered our parents generation to be religios and full of tradition.  But you know what, one day, to our kids, we will be religious and full of tradition and I see it happening now.  That Generation of believers 30 to 40, news flash, we're becoming our parents!

Whoooaaa....why did you draw such a conclusion???!!!! No one (expect YOU)  has said anything about banning members.  8O  We do not BAN members for posting secular material. We simply delete the topic and maybe send that person a pm asking them not to do it again.

The rest of your comments (sermon :wink: ) are moot, for your message was based on a serious error. Not only did you draw the wrong conclusion, you sort of came down on us (yeah, you sprinkled it with love  :lol: ) based on your BAD assumptions. Bottom line, you gave us a "mind whoppin' " for nuthin'......That's an awful way to treat people.

I apologize to my favorite sista on LGM...no disrespect serioulsy...I respect you so I'm gonna chill with that.   But I know you got to to be be feeling me with what we are doing as believers.

I have to repent the most because I had to check myself because one of my young disciples visits this site often because I recommended it to him.  He's my drummer and he's strong in faith however, he submitted the poll about secular music and I had to ask myself whether I'm teaching him religion or relationship.  Also had to question whether I am reinforcing the important of what and who Jesus is.  

(I'm not yelling)  I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE NAMELY SISTER T WHO IS DEEPLY RESPECTED IN ALL OF LGM.  


Again my intent is to send a message to the body of Christ to not bag on these artist, businessmen, educators and who ever else is out there rubbing elbows and getting in a position to minister to these cats in the secular industry.  

I will say to those that's mixing it up on stage with other secular artist...I hope you have received the baptism in and of the HolySpirit, Know the word, stay accountable to your pastor or an elder and keep a believer with you because flesh works.

To me Moderators:  Love yall...no disrespect...got a lot on my chest (is that spelled right)  Anyway...I believe God is not necessarilly looking for me to get it right the first but he's looking for maturity which the biblical definition of perfect.  


AGAIN, SISTA T...LOVE YOU, YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR US...

I apologize to my favorite sista on LGM...

Shucks...I'm the favorite sista...you are so sweet  :oops: , you know I must accept your apology. I'm even placing your walking papers back in the file cabinet. LOL!  :lol:

Seriously, no harm. But let me say this...it is so important that we read and get clear understanding and not draw conclusions based on emotions (not saying that you were emotional). In another thread, I was called unintelligent because of a statement I made which the accuser proved to be true. Nothing I said was insulting, but because of emotions and the nature of the topic, the accuser does not see clearly. That is what happens when we are passionate about certain topics....we don't see clearly and we often do not read the entire post, therefore we draw wrong conclusions. The accuser disrespected me, however, no actions will be taken. No need to ban for something like that.

I have been with this site since the beginning, and I have only seen less than five people banned. Those banned were out of control---constantly posting profanity. That's about the only thing that will get you the boot. We must draw the line somewhere.

Much love to you....

bottom line is this is a private site owned by whomever foots the monthly bills. just follow his/her rules and leave it at that!

if you have even small a amount of doubt concerning the appropriateness of material you're about to post, play it safe and don't post! simple  :!:

[Eccentric-Rhythm]

Wow....and us as followers of Christ wonder why we dont reach the lost.....look at all the bickering that we allow to happen in our midst.

Now I do understand that there are many different beliefs on this site and not everyone can see eye to eye...but one saying I have always loved is this:

If I can't bitterly disagree with a brother or sister and still Love them and say God Bless them, then something is wrong with my experience.

How true that is...I understand that we can come to a disagreement..but the way we compose ourselves should be as Christians. We all claim to be followers of Christ...shouldnt our actions also show that testimony?

I just would like to see us responding to each other in more of a Christian manner. If someone posts something that you do not agree with, and you have nothing positive to say, then either ignore it and move on, or PM them and discuss it there. But for secular people to see the arguments that occur on this board, is definitely discouraging....

If we are a family here, we should follow the family rules....

We can fight in the backyard, (PM or email)

but in the front yard, we defend each other (Any post on here)

I hope this comes across correctly.

I am not saying that we cant disagree, but lets try to do that in a Christian manner...

God Bless.

Nice post E-R,

Wow where have I been??   I think that peopel were completely missing the point from the very beginning.  I dont normally like to call names but people like SabianKnight, JFunky, etc... has made reference to secular type things but they do it in a way fto is instructional

[waydrummer]

I love everybody!

[Spiritfingers]

Thanks for accepting...

E-R put it right and my intention is to come off as not perfect the the world's stand but mature by the bible standard.  I repented and asked my sister for forgiveness.  That's the word and what it tells me to do...

Yall know my passion now so no need to guess what I about...SOULS!  

My heart is sort of aching right now because of people are dying in sin everyday.  Every sould that comes to LGM is precious to the Lord and I hope LGM is making room for non-believers to come in and see how we do it.  

E-R, It's like being married brotha...My wife and I disagree sometimes but at the end one of us has to get out of our flesh and display some Godly character and fruit of the Spirirt.  

Sista...Like I a said you have proven yourself the beautiful, annointed Diva (in a good way), that you've labeled as...A breath of fresh air for LGM...Thanks and I be in touch.  Pray for JUDAH FIRST as we take it to the streets in 2006!

[4hisglory]

I love everybody!

hahahaa

Wait a second. I can agree on not playing clips of these secular performers but, what about the musicians who play for them. Most of these musicians are christian drummers who among other things play secular. Are these guys not gospel drummers? Some  guys are saved and truly love the lord but, play with secular artists. I can not say, "hey that drummer is going to hell because he is doing a hit with Alicia keys." Do you know what amazes me? The fact that we are supposed to be striving to be Christ like but, we turn our backs on people at the drop of a hat or a beat for that matter. This is what amazes me.  These drummers are great drummers who still attend church, pray, study and try to follow Christ. Please! Let's stop turning our backs on people and start showing kindness. Kindness is one of the greatest evangelical tools ever.

[4hisglory]

I think you are completely missing the point.  No one isnt saying that there arent great drummers out there that play secular, and still Love the Lord.  But when they come to church, they do not play any secular music
