They have let the camels nose into the tent, their days are numbered just like all the other denominations that kicked God out the door in the name of tolerance and being hip with the culture of the day.
Our small towns 1st Baptist Church went liberal in the 1980’s and they are down to 40-50 members and they are elderly for the most part and it’s in its death throes. Women deacons, women pastors, the pastor goes on Facebook celebrating his drinking, gay choir leaders and Sunday school directors. What is funny is one of their female deacons confided to me that they were concerned about having a gay youth choir leader who was married to another woman. I bit my tongue but wanted to say why this point you have already accepted everything else that God is clearly against, but didn’t.
Bless her heart I can tell she is under conviction for what her church is doing and she will pop into my churches Facebook broadcasts at times and listen and our pastor pulls no punches on the Word. She just can’t get past not being allowed to be a deacon if she were to join our church. Her daughter left the 1st Baptist Church as a teenager telling her, her grandmother and the pastor women in the pulpit and as deacons was not Bible and wrong. The pastor was like bye, he didn’t care.
wow- not even sure how they can call themselves any kind of baptist with that kind of capitulation to the evil one- that is serious blatant disobedience to God- Sad to hear that 1st baptist went in such an evil direction-
