Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod.

Wouldn't the apostle Paul be pleased.

"The kitchen was on fire, so we are having breakfast in the dining room."

When my daughter was in high school about five years ago, her best friend's mother, Laine, had an affair with her daughter's youth minister, Dick. This girl's family were all active members of the United Methodist Church.

After the affair was discovered Dick, left his wife and four little daughters and moved into an apartment with Laine.

Within six months Dick and Laine were living in Hawaii, because Dick had been called to another youth minister position.

Two years ago this lovely couple moved because Dick was called to be the senior, pulpit minister at a large, fashionable church in Oregon.

Meanwhile, Dick's wife struggles to raise her four little girls (6, 7, 10, 12) by herself. My daughter's best friend and her brother have turned their backs on their christian faith. Laine's ex-husband continues to struggle with poor health. That was the reason Laine gave me for having the affair.

Just because a group calls itself a church, does not mean that it is a part of Christ's church. The Christian church is not a set of buildings, nor a social club. The church of Christ is all people to believe that Jesus is their Lord and Savior. A true Christian takes God at His Word. And God's Word is the Bible.

You are so right. I've seen it happen over and over again. Isn't it a sad commentary on our times?

Thumbs up for joining the Missouri Synod. I'm Catholic, but Missouri Synod is my favorite Protestant denomination.
