To: Faith Presses On

Uhmmmmm K.

“Today’s decision shows that the church is moving toward love over legalism...”

Well, it is possible to love someone as an individual but, recognize their sinful way in a way that doesn’t dehumanize and possibly brings them closer to God.

But, the church, all churches have the duty to act in ways that are consistent with Biblical teaching.

You don’t run around giving sermons and blessings to the “So Called Marriage” of John and Steve”. Particularly as the Minister of a congregation.

You are suppose to be the leader and that requires tough choices.

You can still love your son but, not recognize this abomination.
