Okay, we got it.

It is not scripture.

We do not rebuke an elder, but we entreat him as a father and the younger as brethren and the older women as mothers and the younger as sisters.

That's Apostle Paul.

That is scripture.

We're coming up against the elder of the church, and there's only one, and not a bunch of gas bags that... There's only one elder of the church.

So when people say that we need to respect our elders, there's only one in the church.

OK, all these older folks that are full of hot air.

I like to say gas bags.

They need to keep the fat mouth shut.

If the pastor of the church is not saying something.

Then everybody else needs to shut up.

It is not appointed.

It is not appointed to any other individual to rebuke anybody.

But the pastor.

If you have visiting preachers that come in and start rebuking your saints, you need to put that preacher in their place.

And tell them exactly what you think of them.

Friends or not, you need to put them visiting preachers in their places.

You need to do your job, pastor.

You need to do your job.
