When I heard it, 1Kings 13 strongly came to my mind. I answered, No, I'd rather do it myself, if I ever help. If I help them (Rev. Lin's \"team\", not referring to STEMI), I would not be associating with them at all. Why? This way I can actually bring those who matter to the rally and not have to deal with \"censorship\" of certain groups of people to bring.<\/p>\n
What I should have said, to make it clear, with the same meaning was this:<\/p>\n
\"Oh no, absolutely not. Until you and your church could produce your own preachers, rally, I won't even consider.\"<\/p>\n
Rev. Lin's idea of ministry is sponsoring, supporting outside preachers is a good ministry. Therefore, she rejects the idea of cultivating preachers and ministers from within the church. This is clear in many cases in her church, if there is a choice, she would opt to cultivate the nice and the famous, not the new born preachers (unless she see a great fame ahead of him), and moral over gospel. Of course, she would not make it obvious, since there's this reformed\/puritan image she has to put on and believe. This is sad sad sad.<\/p>\n
Perhaps I could even answer: \"You can invite me to help, not in the hiring sense nor requiring any payment (I would tear it anyway), and I would help. But I must have no affiliation whatsoever with you or your team, again, not referring to STEMI\".<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
