Clip · Division Concluded Part 2
Can you pick and choose with God?
Short answerNo. A soldier of Jesus Christ doesn’t pick and choose when to show up or what to obey.
WhyPastor Kincer says a Marine can’t skip reveille or calisthenics, but in the church world we show up when we want and get involved only in what we want, because we’ve been led to believe we can pick and choose.

Short transcript
Can you imagine a Marine showing up late for reveille? Can you imagine him skipping calisthenics? Well, I don't want to do exercises today. Does that work, Marines? No way. But in the church world, we show up when we want to. We get involved in what we want to It's like Marines can pick and choose. Calisthenics is out. I'll be the sharpshooter. That's all. That's it. You know, no marching. But in the church world, we use all these excuses. Raise my hands. Lift my voice. When they're out there marching and that drill sergeant tells them to sound out cadence, is there anybody silent? No. They're all sounding out cadence. They're in unity. But in the church world, we have been led to believe that we can pick and choose.
