Yesterday, June 11, Nick DiFrancesco entered what I'm guessing was an innocent post on Facebook, like many he enters. It exploded like an A Bomb. The last time I checked, it had generated 125 comments.
Here's Nick's post:
I’m reading Jeremiah, and I’m curious about the opinions of others. To my pastor friends (and others who have an opinion)...can the Church actually thrive without the voice of the profit? Teachers teach and shepherds care for the needs of the flock. Is there a unique role for modern profits? Is the role of the profit to frame the discussion by applying the measures? Is it the profit who guides the flocks through an ever shifting landscape of secular culture using The Word as the only lantern capable of finding the narrow path? In the OT God spoke directly to the profits. In the NT God speaks through Jesus (Gospel). Is there still a need for the prophetic voices? In contrast to the many false prophets of secular culture, how can you identify a modern prophet of God? Many questions, so pick one. Thoughts?

Nick very graciously accepted some razzing on his spelling of the word, profit, but other than that, the conversation was spirited and productive...
...and, if you haven't already checked it out, I encourage you to, especially if you are ERC CGGC.
I, personally, find the Facebook format for length conversations to get a little chaotic and hard to follow but, still, this is good stuff. You'll see my comments at a few places.

Also, Dan Masshardt announced later, on in the list of comments, that the next episode of Nick and Dan's Bible Study Podcast, which appears later today, will address biblical issues related to Nick's questions.
And, of course, there will be the Facebook live follow up, which encourages interaction, next Tuesday at 2:00 EDT.
