Chag Sameach!!
What an inspiring pre-recorded open message from Gerald Weston to set the tone for the next 8 days of our love feast.
1. This is NOT a vacation! God, (not a corporation) put His name here and commands you to assemble before Him for instruction. How dare you choose fishing or roller coasters over an additional morning nap.
2. Be here EVERY day for services. Ezra read from the Law every day so this is a clear example for all time.
3. Be very ashamed if you did not come with a fully saved 2nd tithe.
4. Stop being selfish and making the corporation look bad to the local businesses. Spend ALL your 2nd tithe even if it means over-tipping filthy illegal aliens. The church doesn't need your excess. š³š¤£
5. Don't be gluttons and drunkards. Get enough sleep. The last thing we want is for your snot-nosed children getting us sick when we take up your children in our arms to bless them. Do as we ministers say and not what we do.
6. Come to services early and stay late so you build relationships with your future co-rulers. Just don't talk Bible. Enough can never be said about work, weather and football, brethren.
7. Rejoice! (OK, he didn't really say that.)
