Helpful guys. Thanks for taking the time to make a report.

I had a wonderful opportunity to fill the pulpit at Dorr CRC where Reverend Parsels ministers back in 2021. Great to see you still fighting the good fight in the CRC. Blessings from the CREC!

Thanks for the update, Tyler and Cedric!

Thankful for the Abide Project and the helpful synopsis of the day.

[@thomashoeksemasr7949]

Your gleeful humor does not fit the context of distress for many watching this Synod. Perhaps you don’t intend to address those who feel harmed by the tumult.

What's going on?

[@lloydhemstreet3226]

Oh no, the “tone” police are out again! Sorry, but the Joy of the Lord is to be our strength!

[@margorana2628]

Where are you detecting glee?

[@europeisbetter]

Agreed, thank you @thomashoeksemasr7949.

[@lloydhemstreet3226]

Thomas, maybe you can find a video from Puddleglum to keep you up to date on Synod’s proceedings???

[@europeisbetter]

Heartbreaking what you're doing to this denomination.

[@margorana2628]

It is indeed heartbreaking that a small minority of the denomination doesn't want to follow basic Christian doctrine.

[@europeisbetter]

@@margorana2628 - Nope.

[@JP-hm8wt]

If following the Bible's teachings is heartbreaking then possibly you are missing teaching, rebuking and encouraging that Paul teaches Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:2 "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction."

[@europeisbetter]

@@JP-hm8wt - Nope. That's not the heartbreaking part, but thanks.
