Amen. Our pastor avoids politics as much as possible and has actually gone as far as to strongly urge the church to “keep that garbage out of here”. Last weeks service was nothing but The Word and praise worship. It was a true sanctuary from the mess in the world.
“Our pastor avoids politics as much as possible”
I wouldn’t attend a church if the pastor weren’t vocal about politics. There are enough wishy-washy panty-waist preachers — a big problem in America today.
Your pastor chooses evil
“Last weeks service was nothing but The Word and praise worship. It was a true sanctuary from the mess in the world.”
I understand that you go to church to feel good — as a majority of people do — to enter a sanctuary from the mess in the world. I totally respect that. I even respect people who choose to go to snake handling and atheist “churches”. Hooray for the First Amendment!
I can feel good with a pedicure. My dad — a preacher — said that if the congregation leaves church feeling good then he hasn’t done his job. People should leave feeling convicted of something, their consciences tweaked, realizing they can be better, etc.
