Episode notes
Church Zoning Opposition Anecdote
- When purchasing and zoning a church building, Pastor Mark encountered aggressive opposition due to racial and religious prejudice.
- This shows opposition to Christianity can be political, economic, or racial, not just theological.
Avoid Idolatry In Worship
- Avoid images and statues in worship because they risk becoming objects of idolatry.
- Focus worship on the living, risen Jesus, not physical representations.
Believers Are Biblical Saints
- The Bible calls all believers "saints," meaning holy and set apart for God’s work regardless of their deeds.
- Our saint status is based on Christ's work, not personal merit.
