I attend a mainline Presbyterian church. Thing is, it's down south and still conservative. So nice to have traditional liturgy intermingled with a traditional message.
I think sometimes it amuses God to use scoundrels to accomplish His purpose...
Excellent post. Thanks very much.
I read this twice... some parts 3 times.
It makes no sense to me at all. Could some kind soul synopsize this mental wander in the woods?
And take away the author's keyboard...
I'm not trying to start a fight here -- but I've been to liberal churches and "bible-based" and there is good and bad in both.
When I went to a Baptist Church it was a constant struggle for many of the constant "back sliders" who were saved and would then back slide, straight out, back slide, come back to the Lord and then repeat the process again.
My point is that some people liberal and conservative are stuck on stupid and I think you can find a perfect group of Christians.
I a ttended "conservative" Presbyterian churches for a while and after discussing with a Pastor why they didn't break off from the main Presbytery, was told that "we would have to give up our property and I would lose my pension." I came to the conclusion that that was faulty reasoning (considering it was all about money) and finally left.
I am happy to report that I now attend a Bible preaching and believing congregation that is growing by leaps and bounds and is filled with people just like me - starved for the Truth of the Gospel.
As I drive by no less than three Presbyterian (and numerous other mainline churches) on the way to my new church, I see smaller and smaller crowds, mostly all elderly who cling to the past and insist on hearing those same "Feel Good - Do Good" messages that leave out the only true message nessary for their salvation.
