Amassive six-alarm fire ravaged a 160-year-old Massachusetts church, a blaze that the interim pastor believes may have been started by a lightning strike.

An automated alarm brought firefighters to the First Congregational United Church on Main Street around 3 p.m. Friday.

Coincidence? That is impressive!

If God is going to take care of the LBGTQ, blah, blah bunch that is a very visual way to go about it. One down...

Anyone else remember the tornado ripping the steeple of a Lutheran church in Minneapolis as ELCA Churchwide Assembly was voting to Ordain gay/lesbian clergy?

Believe me, I had my apprehensions that it was an apostate church.

Terrible that all the “mainstream” churches are embracing these homos.

New England, Congregational (led to the “Church of Christ” which are apostate), it all points to being of the wrong “stripe”.

Did they hear the voice saying, “Repent or you will go to Gehenna!”

Haaving been raised and educated in Massachusetts , I feel nothing towards this and the residents that allow the liberal theology to be taught and accepted. My disgust for my home state will never die....the majority of residents are Godless and selfish and always ready to tell you why your wrong.. what really is funny is that my accent is pure Bostonian....PISS OFF

When satan comes before the throne and finds he has a right and God won’t stop him because the people have not only allowed it, but embraced it. “Pride goeth before destruction.” They seem to have missed that bible verse.
