That is when I will stay home. The church needs people to fund it. I don’t need a church, all I need is God, the Bible and Jesus.
We just left a cold Spirit church for it’s failure to fulfill our spiritual needs.
As long as they are 501 C3’s they will do as government demands. Gov’t uses it to shut up the preachers who would speak out.
You hit the nail on the head. Which is why we are looking for a new church. The Holy Spirit knows where He is wanted or not.
If they have to ask then they are not a church. They are a liberal social club.
Separation of church and state.
The church lives by the bible and refuses to condone otherwise.
The state can do whatever it wants as they are all perverts anyway.
Gail!
Come on over to Faith Baptist in Bartlett, you will love it.

Be rooted in Christ!
Stop being so sanctimonious. The Catholic church has plenty of troubles of their own.
Almost 20 years ago, we left the ELCA because we could see where it was headed. We’ve been in a Christ-centered LCMS ever since and it is exactly what we want.
A pig is still a pig no matter how you dress it up and the same holds true for fags.
That IMO is the problem with Liturgical Christians and National Ecclesiastical Societies. .. when the leadership caves to corruption within its ranks the rest of the body is left in the lurch trying to decide if they should follow Scripture or if they should play follow the leader. Knowing neither the Scriptures nor the Power of God they put out their light and stagger about in darkness searching a wall to lean against.

Busy as bees destroying marriage, the family, and the freedoms of religion, speech and assocation.
Committing themselves to a life of sodomy...lovely. </extreme sarc off>
That's nothing. The elders at our church told a heterosexual couple to marry or stop living together.
I'm glad we never had to make the choice of leaving one denomination and finding another. I've been a lifelong LCMS member.
If it needs a debate in the first place, those people are in serious need of a heavy dose of Bible study.
Sure we do. But we sure as heck will not be marrying same sex couples in our church. There will not be married gay priests either. There will not be so much as a discussion.
Heaven forbid a Catholic Freeper expresses thanks for the above facts.
Horrors.
The Catholic church has not done a very good job of keeping homosexuals out of their clergy.
We must remain ever vigilant because we KNOW there will be constant attacks on the LCMS. So far, so good but I know there are those who want to make the LCMS more worldly.
