Aargh! My denomination is at it again. Now I understand why one of the biggest PCUSA churches in my Pittsburgh area successfully voted to disaffiliate last year.

I wonder what my alma mater, Grove City College, will do in response... I can't imagine many folks there are happy about this.

(For those not in the know, GCC is a rather conservative school that, at least for the moment, is affiliated with PCUSA)

the PCUSA Lost 50,000 members in 2007 & 2008. most were single women. they tend to stay long enough to get membership.

proper sons of the pcusa don’t go to church after high school. they see the mutual contempt which the pastors and their fathers hold of one another and stay away.

Please, please, please follow Christ, not a denomination. This is apostasy, plain and simple. They are rubbing your face in it. Everyone must make a choice to claim Christ. You chose the world or Christ. He isn't of this world. This is no different that talking to Catholics. You can quote Scripture till you are blue in the face and they defend their denomination and curse Scripture. Reading Revelations, you can find many churches described in the letters to the churches. Some have lost their first Love.

It's no different that trying to convince a Democrat they must choose between their party or Christ. They kill babies, promote homosexuality, fight prayer, fight the very mention of God in the arena of ideas, yet they say it it possible to love Christ and be a Democrat. The last few verses in Romans 1 are "in your face" that you only have to approve of sin to be guilty of the sin. How can anyone versed in Scripture not know homosexuality is a sin? How can we watch Rev Wright and ask how Obama could sit there for 20 years, and then sit in their own church for 20 years listening to apostasy? Obama's church isn't the only church teaching error in America.

***Now I understand why one of the biggest PCUSA churches in my Pittsburgh area successfully voted to disaffiliate last year.***

Perhaps you should check that former PCUSA church out?

Or even consider one of the following:
Providence Presbyterian Church (PCA)
First Reformed Presbyterian Church (PCA)
City Reformed Presbyterian Church (PCA)
Covenant Presbyterian (OPC)

C'mon over to the PCA. The water's fine.
