Jase's Plan to Stymie Si, a Pet Peeve About Preachers, and Bonfire of the Pews | Ep 192

Jase devises a plan to manipulate Si's behavior in the duck blind. Phil talks about why there are so many duck-blind conversions. And the guys discuss how to love Jesus more than fishing, preachers who rail against people who skip church, what God looks like, the significance of communion, house churches, and why the Lord's Supper became more special during the pandemic. Jase also explains why pews are "of the devil" and suggests a good way to get rid of them.

I always come away with some morsel of insight. Today I realized that we need to burn the pews! No, seriously, I was blessed with the discussion of putting hunting up as an idol. The point is our focus. I was on my way to church years ago, & I picked up an older couple hitchhiking. (Back when it was safer to do.) They just wanted me to drop them off at an on-ramp to the freeway. On the way I asked about where they were going. They were going to their son's place in the next state because something happened to their home... Long story. They were hitchhiking because they were car jacked & robbed. I was moved to spend the tithe money I was taking to church on these people. I took them to the bus station & got them tickets to their son's town. I gave them the rest for food. I told them that it was a gift from God. I couldn't have afforded it. That was a devine appointment. I missed church & gave God's money to those people. Seems to me that sometimes we idolize church attendance. A lot of good Christian folk wouldn't have even stopped. They'd have missed a great opportunity to be God's hands.

[@riseharris5204]

Do you realize your story was a testimony of how God Works In mysterious Ways? It was God who put you there at that time and place to help that couple. Seems from what you wrote, you learned a greater lesson about God’s grace than any church service could have ever provided you. Thank you for sharing your story. It also helped restore my faith in the human race! God Bless You

[@jaebee9308]

I used to live in a bad neighborhood where we were constantly confronted with ppl begging for money. I always let God guide me. Sometimes He'd tell me a person was dangerous & call me to avoid them. Most times He'd move me to give. Sometimes He'd be VERY specific. There were many amazing experiences. One time I was walking into a gas station & saw a man standing in dark clothing, hood covering his head. I didn't ask God. I just judged & hurried toward the door. God said- "LOOK at him!" I did. But I kept hurrying in. I saw he was a young boy. Maybe barely 18. The whole time I was in that store, God was working on me. I was in a bad mood, feeling rebellious. He was telling me to hand him the $20 that was in my pocket & to tell him that HE TOLD me to give it to him. My heart was only slightly willing. I'm an introvert & often insecure. God kept working on me all the way out the door, across the parking lot, into my truck... I started the truck & pulled out before I finally surrendered. Pulled back in, got out of the truck... began the long awkward walk toward the kid, who was looking at me with some fear & confusion. He had never asked me for money. Never even looked at me until that moment. I said- "Listen. God made me look at you. Nagged me the whole time I was in that store. He apparently really loves you." He immediately broke down in tears. I handed him the $20 and said "He wanted me to give this to you and TELL you it was from Him. I know it is, because I wasn't willing. I was leaving. He wouldn't let me." He nodded. More tears. He thanked me. I asked him if I could hug him. He nodded and I did. I asked if he was safe. He said he was. I said "Call your Parents." I don't even know where that came from. (God obviously) He looked at me with surprise and told me he would. I believed him. God then told me to go. I asked the Lord if I should drive him somewhere. It didn't seem right to leave him there. He said no. My part was done. I think abt that boy often. I trust God got him where he needed to go. He didn't look like he'd been out there long. After so many years of interactions like that, you come to recognize the looks. Mentally ill, addicted, hiding from the law, etc. I don't think he was any of those. I hope to learn the details of this moment when I get to Heaven. God is so personal. So present. Able and determined to do amazing things. Even when He's working with a rebellious daughter.

[@robertabell9182]

That’s the reason why God says that a small remnant shall be saved. Concerning the Religious Churches ⛪️ of today. I’v always understood that God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost teaches. That he introduced me to a way of life not a religion. Because he lives in us not a building.

@S & H Farm - Preach! God is always present and ready to be just what we need wherever we need it. Pinpoint accurate correction steeped in Mercy, comfort that envelops your heart & soul and brings tears of gratitude, perfect direction that instantly clears up the deepest confusion.... it's all there for the asking at every moment, wherever you are. Sometimes He's silent, and calls you to wait longer & listen in silence, or to open your Bible & He'll meet you there. Sometimes He's silent & makes you wait in faith to see what He's going to do rather than hear abt it first. Most of the time, in my experience, He makes His presence known, readily & clearly. Whatever the case, He's always in control, always good, always faithful.

My grandmother (80 yrs old) died in the ER 5 years ago and the doctors revived her and boy did she have a lot to say! They were wheeling her in her bed hooked up to machines & on a ventilator (tube down her throat) as my mom walked along side the bed my Nan started doing sign language (finger spelling ...she had a deaf brother and knew how to spell) So, she said she went to heaven! She said she saw my grandfather & he was young & handsome. She then continued (in post breast cancer surgery excitement, adrenaline flowing) to say that she saw Jesus!!! She said he was not a good looking man. she said he was as tall as a building. She then said that Jesus leaned over, kissed her on the forehead & said that he was not quite ready for her yet!! He sent her back to tell all of her family what she had seen. Later, after she was out of the hospital. she told me all about her holy reunion and she said, ya know Halli, I've always tried to have faith & believe that for all these years there really is a God and a heaven, but there were times when I doubted Gods words... NOW I KNOW for sure Jesus is REAL!! Ever since she told me that, I have felt as though God sent her back for Me. I have had many doubts, but not anymore!! Thank you Jesus for your Mercy! We are not saved by good deeds, but by God's Mercy!

It is a freedom we take part in by faith to be with our brothers and sister that day. There we hear what has been done for us and are given every gift from Jesus...

I cannot see how table and chairs in place of pews, chairs, or whatever, would work with a very large church. Unless the building was set up like a dinner theater. Or even a small church, if they are meeting in a small building. The tables would take up space that could be for seating. If you are eating, where is the preacher giving the sermon? And then there is the singing. Sing at the table? Maybe I am struggling thinking out of the box. lol

[@vanessajanik4623]

My current church is in a pastors backyard. It’s a brand new church but legitimate nonetheless. It has a name, it’s a non profit etc.. It’s a new church but we don’t have an “official” building yet. And part of that is the fact that we’re not hoarding money so we can get a building. We’re serving & blessing our community. So money is always going in & coming out. If God provides a way to get into some sort of building someday great but that’s not our main priority. We gather, learn & worship in a home/backyard then on certain days we go out & serve the community. Again, church can & should be done anywhere/everywhere .. because WE are the church.. the body not the building.

I had no Idea that in the Catholic faith, the bread and wine was considered literal and not symbolic. A family member who is a Catholic priest told my mother that although others within the faith believed this way, he did not. I had never heard this before, and I was shocked. I am a Southern Baptist who tend to take communion quarterly. I don’t think that’s enough. It somehow seems it’s not on your radar like it should be.

Thanks for discussing communion. My family & I were told we are not doing communion right if the bread and body aren’t blessed first. We replied with: it is what is in our hearts and God knows. Great idea to sell the pews and use money to go back to use at your church. People enjoying repurposing pews in their homes.
