Thanks for the thoughtful message. It’s hard to be in a church embroiled in a civil war over homosexuality. The war keeps going, because the forces of secularism and lust are relentless. And people keep heading for the door. The church is destroyed and only the ashes of dead civilization remain.
It sounds like your pastor is under pressure. Let’s hope he gets a lot of support from the community. The evangelist Ted Haggard in Colorado seems to be in the same boat, and yet he vows to fight the impulses and stay faithful to his wife and God, just like a reformed alchoholic fights the perennial temptation of alcohol.
God Bless.
“The war keeps going...”
Yes - and it always will. Especially when you believe, as I do, that Satan is there at every turn to help the forces of seularism. I just was watching this youtube of a local Christian acoustic guitarist/singer. VERY talented with great lyrics and creative music (modern music). Worth a listen if you enjoy that type of music.
