Trust me when I tell you you are not missing anything. His father is Charles Stanley...you may have seen him on Sunday morning tv. He is nothing like his dad
I’ve been having a “crisis of church” the last few years. I moved from Seattle to south central, rural Kentucky and am SHOCKED at how many people here are STRONG “Christians”, but there are some attributes that confuse me:
1. They always seem miserable.
2. They really don’t know the bible.
3. If you try to discuss the “deeper” meaning/ramifications of scripture and beliefs, they have zero to offer.
4. If you bring up something they disagree with, they go all bigot on you. I use that word specifically because their response fits the definition precisely.
5. A LOT of people go to church here because it is “what you do” and they are petrified of suffering in a fire for eternity. That even trumps the salvation. Salvation is seen by them not as a wonderful thing to bring them into eternal fellowship with Christ. Rather, it is a “get out of hell free” card. The true gospel message is secondary.
It makes it very hard to attend any church here.
