Sadly I had to defend Starr's position to none other than my pastor's wife last night (Women's Bible Study) and promptly went home and tossed & turned all night, with little sleep.
I have been in this particular church for 7 years....I am not a newbie Christian (although I'm still on that road to santification)
..and I knew this church was more seeker friendly/family oriented-(even in a Reformed Calvinistic denomination)... but it was a friendly church and was due to a move from one town to the next.
Last night was a genuine surprise and one I am praying about....suffice to say I'm deeply disappointed.
Thanks again.
Those of us who grew with the Graham Crusade are feeling the loss of this cornerstone. We have morphed into the Rick Warren agenda, and, while it doesn’t represent many of us, it will no doubt lead to an even more liberal agenda.
Ditto, Sarasota....and to Guen - I’ll pray for your situation....that’s always difficult.
The ironic thing is, the Bible states that "seekers" don't actually exist.
Some references:
Romans 3:11 there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
Always uncomfortable to Speak the Truth, isn’t it? But you sure find out exactly where you stand. May the Lord lead you.
