I too am an ordained minister who left the church of my fathers. It is drowning in pussified pastors.
Seminaries were long ago subverted by communists just like universities.
Add in Caesar’s 30 Pieces of 501(3)c bribery, and you have your answer.
I deeply empathize.
“undecided”-that’s a great way to change the subject.
I’d say that’s a pretty accurate summary of the situation.
I am not sure I find that surprising. Guess they just needed a provocative title.
The 25% who plan to vote for Clinton should be immediately fired by their congregations. A rabid anti-Christian and strongly pro-abortion person should never even be in consideration.
I’m far from a single issue voter, but pro-life is a hill to die on.
Its a tragedy that churches have allowed this to happen. But, it comes strictly form disobeying scripture.
My church follows the Bible. Women do not preach, nor take positions of authority over men. God had it right. When men give up their authority, some strident women take over and emasculate the men.
As a result, our church is strong, with men and women. We all have our part to play. Men have men’s ministries and are responsible for the teaching, women take on their roles, which are also supremely important in the body of Christ.
The pastors in our specific church made a public statement to the Obama Administration, that we had no problem losing our tax-exemp status rather than not teaching and preaching the scriptures, especially regarding homosexual unions or "celebrations" of sexual immorality. We will not "bless" nor in any way, acknowledge, homosexual unions. We will counsel homosexuals who wish to step away from that destructive lifestyle.
Our denomination refuses to pretend that God's plan for marriage and the family, is any other than one man and one woman, who are unrelated to one another; that children belong in intact families with their mothers and fathers, if at all possible. We do recognize that the breakdown or breakup of marriage happens, even after premarital counseling, marriage therapy and intervention. If or when that happens, our church continues to support the family. God loves families and so do we.
Fortunately, God is a God of second chances and third and fourth and more.
Bam! Great post.
Is God calling you to be a Pastor? We need Pastors who haven’t been brainwashed in modern seminaries. We need Pastors with discernment, not just the ability to get along with the people in his church that finance his job. We need men who will stand up for truth no matter what the consequence. Are you that person? If so then please start an anointed Church. “Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them.” This is what Jesus said. All it takes are Him, The Holy Spirit and just two or more of us.
