The churches do also. I attend Sunday morning and Sunday evening services, and Wednesday. Our pastor never talks about it. I have visited at some other churches and I have never heard any pastors speak of it there either. Very few pastors take on anything controversial today. They are afraid to make their congregations mad. They are afraid to lose the tax exemptions. They have no back bone. It took us a year to find a church when we moved back here to Alabama. Now our pastor has gone simple with his sermons. He preaches these days like he is preaching to a room full of brand new Christians. People who have only been hearing the word for a few months or a year or two. He has quit going into the tough areas. He has gone down a road where he is afraid that he will scare the old folks, and does not want to scare off the people who are coming with anything controversial. We come home on Sunday mornings now and discuss when we just heard todays sermon. Was it a month ago or two months ago he gave this same sermon. We are now in a search again to attempt to find a church where a pastor will stand up for the Word of God and is not afraid to speak it. We have been visiting a church the past couple of weeks where the pastor seems to be that man. We will continue to visit there for a while and hope he continues to bring God’s Word direct from the pages of the Book. The Bible warns us of these days in these last days of a dying world. Pastors falling away from preaching God’s Word with authority.
Our church prays for these persecuted Christians continually. I post every article I read about the persecution and slaughter of Christians overseas. But this is the difference between Christianity and Islam. One is a religion of freedom and love. The other is a hating death cult.
the slughter of christians? i laugh... they do it here ever day... but try and and take my FAITH....
