I recently gave a Wed Night message about Leviticus 18:22. My point wasn't that homosexuality is a sin, but that by the country making it legal, the "land would vomit us out". Sexual sin is different than regular sin. If I steal, I sin against God, but if I commit adultery, I sin against my own flesh. Homosexuality is called an "abomination" along with bestiality and defiles the land we live in. There are only a couple of uses in the Bible of "vomit out". The other is in Revelation and has to do with "lukewarm" Christians. As I was making the notes for the message I Google'd "gays and Churches". The number of churches performing gay marriages, of course, has skyrocketed, but what caught my attention was the number of churches that are now led by gay ministers, have gay deacons, and teach that Sodom was destroyed because they weren't "nice" to the angels, not that they wanted to have sex with them.

Real Christian churches are on the wain, no matter what the attendance roles say. There are even Baptist churches in Texas, no less, that have ordained gay deacons.

I'm sure tipping is an important topic to come from the pulpit, but somehow I think Religion has bigger fish to fry right now. How could someone council the person on suicide grief if they aren't even saved themselves? IMO, Angels are nailing signs with "Ichabod" printed over the doors of many churches today.

I will not disagree with what you say, but the matter of how so-called Christians behave before the world, is, imo, worthy of discussion. You surely could start a thread on what you consider more important.
