That is *
not* what the pastor said. And it is light years from what he meant. Others are putting words in his mouth. You really need to listen to his entire sermon. Christians are so keen on preaching that we must put the Bible in context by studying not just one verse but all the surrounding verses and yet so quick not to follow that same advice when making a judgment on a brother in Christ. Put Reverend Weece and Southland in context. Hear the man in full. Continue to disagree if you wish but give him the benefit of the doubt and hear what he has to say.

My issue isn't church on Christmas. My issue is church on Sunday.
