I do not believe that Jesus was crucified in a church between two candles,
but on a cross between two thieves,
at a crossroads of politics so cosmopolitan
they had to write His title
in Hebrew
in Latin,
and in Greek.
At the kind of place
where cynics talk smut,
and thieves curse,
and soldiers gamble.
Because that is where He died.
and that is what He died about.
And that is where the church ought to be.
and that is what church people ought to be about.

If I were Pastor, I’d be preaching the 10 Commandments, the 7 deadly sins, and for June I’d preach Genesis chapter 19, and Romans chapter 1 verses 24-27.
Churches need to teach the character of God, then they need to preach tue gospel. People are evil and inclined to evil and then thanks be to God for Jesus sacrifice we are blessed to spend eternity with Him.
Churches preach “Love love love” these days. And not much beyond that.
“and for June I’d preach Genesis chapter 19,”
Not Lots best side.
Our pastor is on the cutting edge!!

Too many churches are preaching anything and everything except for Biblical teachings. The “pastors’ have discarded the Bible and instead teach from governmental handbooks instructing them to embrace the leftist’s doctrine. If your church is doing such, you should leave and find a Bible believing church that does not promote the narrative that we should endorse the sinners actions in order to not offend them.
Pastors repeat the incorrect phrase that “we should embrace the sinner”. No, we should not! We should instruct them as to why they are wrong and send them out of the Church until they have recognized their sinful ways and acknowledged the truth. For once you let one demon in the door, they will bring others, and soon your church will be filled with nothing but demons.
The medieval penitential manuals served a very godly purpose...and then came the utterly misnamed "Enlightenment".
I look at Joe Sniffer Biden, Harris round heels, a corrupt FBI and DOJ and a WOKE military and I'm NOT proud of my country either.
Our press has sympathy for the killer of 9 year old children ,,, the FBI won't release the manifesto because the corrupt agents are pushing the lie that conservative are 'dangerous'...Yeah, "dangerous" when the last hundred mass murderers have all been democrats, of color or sexual weirdos...

“Enlightenment” has destroyed more than one American institution. The Church of believers in Jesus Christ is the final one to fall before all is lost.
He is the pastor that the Gettys call theirs.
The Enlightenment was good and Holy until (primarily) the French Revolution.
The Reasonableness of Christianity, as delivered in the Scriptures. Some people forget this is an Enlightment-era work. Some people don't forget.

True, but people need to hear the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and the real reason God destroyed the city. And it has nothing to do with a lack of hospitality, which is what my previous pastor said.
A few churches in my area fly or post the rainbow flag.
One church that had proudly posted the rainbow flag and had “Happy Ramadan” on its moveable sign board has gone so broke that their building has been sold.
indeed
the church is not called to compromise with the culture
BUMP
How do you feel Doofer?
