Were you to spend a little time <I>reading</I> (a curious pastime much valued in the days before <I>teaching tapes</I>) you would see that <I>everything</I> here at St. Onuphrius is structured around church growth. Indeed, like any true GAFCON church it occupies a position hitherto devoted to the Sacraments, Worship, and Pastoral Care. Had you studied my important teaching on the subject <A HREF="http://gafcon.blogspot.com/2008/06/buttocks-on-pews.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> you would understand this, and given my use of the word “buttocks” in the title (a topic I know is always dear to the heart and other places of those who would deny the power of Bible-based ministry) I’m quite frankly surprised you hadn’t been drawn there earlier.<BR/><BR/>I’ve no doubt you are also laughing, <A HREF="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=22&chapter=41&verse=29&version=31&context=verse" REL="nofollow">the Bible teaches that those without fear are prone to such cackling.</A> Yet the Scriptures also teach that <A HREF="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=23&chapter=2&verse=4&version=31&context=verse" REL="nofollow">the Lord finds mirth in those such as you</A> and in turn I share the mirth of <A HREF="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=24&chapter=1&verse=26&version=31&context=verse" REL="nofollow">Proverbs 26:31</A>.<BR/><BR/>So you see, my apostate swine, the Scriptures say we’re right and you’re wrong. Of course you’re unsatisfied here – we teach the Bible. And it’ll take more than some anonymous pagan talking about dimes to change that.The Rev.
