Thank you so very much for your testimony and insights - and for your encouragements!
ALLLLLLL Christian congregations are an affront in some way or another to the PURE UNADULTERATED BIBLICAL GOSPEL OF JESUS THE CHRIST--to some greater or lesser degree. There is none, good, no, not one, Scripture says of individuals. How can motley collections of individuals be any different!
Truly, as hosepipe is wont to say, Christ came to establish a family, not a religion.
And, a sign of a healthy family is it’s capacity to look at and address it’s flaws meaningfully, redemptively, growthfully.
