We attended CoC when we first moved to Houston.
They were so liberal my wife told the minister flat out we could not attend a church that liberal.
Minister, who had a flavor saver goatee and kinda looked like the guy from the band Everclear, said no problemo and directed us to a slightly less leftist church.
Now the newer church we go to does odd things too, like giving a “shout out” to the new pope.
I had to leave, both of them. Small town SE of Dallas.
Most of the COC denoms are liberal as is the DOC.
“Now the newer church we go to does odd things too, like giving a “shout out” to the new pope.”
Sounds like it’s time to leave that one also.
Ever try a Calvary Chapel Church? Look them up, very Biblical without sugar-coating anything.
Sadly, I have given up on “organized” religion. The old time religion I grew up on apparently isn’t entertaining enough these days. I have not set foot in a church in years where I felt at peace or in communication with God.
I don’t want to be a part of pop culture or give a “shout out” to anyone at church or anywhere else... least of all the pope.
