Yep, I've been ordained. This past Sunday. And let me say Dr. Waters was used by the Lord mightily in the preaching of the Word.
And I finally have internet again. I've been without for about a couple weeks. It was good to be away from it and see how much I 'need' it or have a tendency to make it an idol. Good good.
Anyway, Just saying hello!

How absurd a tenet is this, which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed, and not commanded? What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship? - George Gillespie

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved." Eph. 1:3-6 ESV

Do you feel any different?
Congrats!!

I feel inadequate.
Pastor
Yes, Andrew and may it ever be so. Our adequacy is in Christ alone. Exalt Christ in all you do. Preach Christ and when you do make a beeline to the Cross.
God bless you, brother.

Well, knowing of the other thread going on, and understanding that I am 26, none of those sound good at all. But I would take Reverend as my title, and Pastor describing my office. People I guess will call me Pastor Barnes, where I am at now. ???So are you gonna be called "Pastor", "Reverend", or "Good ol' Mister"
