Why should the lack of the title “pastor” disqualify someone from speaking out in a church meeting?
(Perhaps church isn’t a gathering of people who are disqualified from speaking in the meeting and whose main function is just to listen every week to the one officially “qualified” person.)

You are qualified to listen to the living God and to share what He tells you to.  You bet you are! Let’s practice with: Listen & Tell Time
A) Listen to God for a little while.
B) Then tell what He tells you by writing a comment on this post.
Ready? Go!

(I’ll go first:   I said to God: “What do you want to say to me?”
–This is what came to my mind: “I want to speak to people much more than they want to hear Me.”)

Our goal at The Salvation Army Berry Street is to qualify everybody to speak in the meeting by facilitating an environment where anybody feels free to speak as the Holy Spirit prompts her/him!
–“When God touches the soul with truth, light floods the soul, and that man knows more than anyone could ever teach him.” –Meister Eckhart

So, what’s better than listening to preaching?
–Sensing the presence of the living, resurrected Jesus Christ, hearing Him speak in your own heart, and sharing what you hear with others!
