I love my church for the opposite reason. A couple of weeeks ago in the sermon our pastor (originally from Tennessee) talked about the Hate Crime nonsense, and how it Canada it has been used to silence preaching against homosexuality. He then said, "If that happens here in the U.S, y'all will just have to come bail me out of jail, I guess."
He got a standing ovation!
AMEN! I'm thrilled to see there are still pastors out there with a 'holy' boldness. Our church has a Christian Citizen board where we work hard all year to educate our members on the social issues. We now have up a comparison of Bush vs Kerry on abortion and gay marriage. Add to this we have Christian voter guides (both state and federal) everywhere for our members. We are so happy we are in a church were our leadership supports the biblical values and speaks to them too. We have an opportunity to influence many people through good churches where pastors are not afraid to speak truth.
