Hello dear Dan. Thank you for sharing a few pages from your diary with us. Truly, the Lord is with YOU and you have been a blessing to many, near and far.

OK, with respect to our gifts. Several saints were to prophesy. How do you pull this off in a mega-church? So that "you all may prophesy..."?

Is it God's will in the church today for the rest of us to give up this liberty? Sadly, many have. Despite the clear teachings of 1 Corinthians 14.

But in fairness: For every domineering clergy person there are dozens of lazy laymen who seem to be OK with such an arrangement. So, there is plenty of blame to go around...
