They are charged with shepherding their flock. I wish more churches would take that mission seriously. Not a Southern Baptist, heck, I'm not any kind of Baptist, but at least they are doing what they are charged to do.

Are you a member of the SBC?

Are they really charged with shepherding their flock? Is that really the charge for a denomination? Or is that something churches claim so they can remain in business?

And does shepherding their flock include not trusting them to see, hear, read any and everything? Or are they being legalistic? Seems to me any interest in the reality of Heaven and hell can be a good healthy interest.

And no, not a member of the SBC. Great evangelical calling, but too legalistic.

Out of curiosity, what is your opinion of the fictional (yet clearly spiritual) works of CS Lewis?
