Me too. I'm so upset with so many things that are happening in the churches I could type for three days straight.
What is sad is that with all the seeker-centered mega churches out there, people that are very new and not grounded in the Word think it is perfectly okay. After all, what is their frame of reference but a stage instead of an altar and happy talk sermons? Why bring up a topic like suffering and ruin a perfectly good concert? < /sarcasm >
I just heard that a lot of the Churches are taking all references to "blood" out of the hymnals so as not to offend anyone.
Who could be offended by that? Did Christ not spill His blood for mankind? Are we to pretend that He suffered an unbloody crucifixion? Someone shake up these decision makers; better yet, fire them.
That just disgusts me.
The blood? Or removing it from the songs?
**taking all references to "blood" out of the hymnals so as not to offend anyone.**
Agree with you.
"By His blood we are saved."
Don't know if I have the quote from John exactly correct. Really a sad thing to see this happening.
