Romans 12:20“...if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”

If they give bad service. Tip well anyways. Don't be fake, just be above it.

Yes and amen, this is right on the money! No excuse for us to be cheap!

@BingtheLizard No worries, man. I'm glad that you are concerned about God's people. Have a great day. =]

[BingtheLizard]

@piinthesky1368 Cheers, that's what I needed to hear. I hadn't considered that. I was wrong.

[piinthesky1368]

@BingtheLizard And Jesus ATE at the HOMES of tax collectors and sinners. Eating with someone in that culture meant that they were like family to you. That is the modern day equivalent of Jesus eating at a brothel or in Al-Quida's head quarters. Does that make HIM evil? I Scripture says that it is not the healthy that need a doctor, but the sick. How many times do you think Christ has used Mark in the lives of people trying to run from problems in a bar? Bars are just another battlefield for God.

omg this is incredible. i never thought of it that way! this applies to..just about everyone i know, including me. thanks so much!!!

[NealMcCrispy]

@BingtheLizard Yeah because it's a sin to walk into a bar, but not use coarse language. Cool story, bro. You are so holy.

[LargeGroundhog]

@BingtheLizard So bars are evil? Only if you drink to get drunk or intend to pick up a woman, things like that.

[BingtheLizard]

I just want to know what the HELL this minister is doing walking through bars. I'd be attending a different church if my minister was visiting these places.

Certain cultures don't express themselves in the same way, so it is understandable if u don't see it fit 2 tip. However, the factor of being Gracious towards others should not be overlooked. If u noticed he did not use any biblical reference other than the e.g. of unmerited grace to justify "tipping well". All he was saying is think about how the Gospel reflects from the believer in the example the church makes within the community.

I don't believe Pastor Mark is directing the Church 2 a legalism of tipping, but by his example and beseech he is encouraging those watching to actively exercise the unmerited Grace we have been given by God. The hope is that the Gospel of grace and a selfless heart will be expressed if we think 2 tip well and not horde things such as $ for ourselves.

Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." - end of the day if you don't want 2 tip...Don't

Grace and peace

This is nonsense imagine Paul going to downtown Jerusalem telling the Jews to tip well. Somethings are none of your business Pastor. This is where men take power that is none of their business . Suppose his people began to put less in the till so they can have more to tip.If your people are not effected enough by your messages to have a well rounded life Your just not allowed to tell peole to tip well.This is total nonsense. I go around with a wad of money to make up the tips for my people.?
