And may God destroy Westboro "Baptist" "Church."
Amen.
Reading 2 1 Pt 3:15-18
Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.
Always be ready to give an explanation
to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope,
but do it with gentleness and reverence,
keeping your conscience clear,
so that, when you are maligned,
those who defame your good conduct in Christ
may themselves be put to shame.
For it is better to suffer for doing good,
if that be the will of God, than for doing evil.
These are really vile people! Someone should shame them publicly, then step it up a notch, tell them to get to work, hand them a shovel or something. Let them refuse in front of everyone.
Amen, and I’m sorry if I messed up on the first posting.
I’d prefer that the congregants have an epiphany and do it themselves, riding their “reverand” out of town on a rail.
