How To Shrink Your Church In One Easy Step

That is what makes a church home hard to find. I don’t expect a fire and brimstone sermon every Sunday but if I don’t hear one after 3-5 visits I move on. The one we are at now the pastor does pretty good. Two Sundays ago he flat said in a sermon that he would not marry a young couple that approached him to wed them because they were already living together and he spent the whole sermon on sexual sin. He has made scriptural references to homosexuality as well.

So far so good.

[Sans-Culotte]

since people who are promiscuous or active homosexuals rarely enter the inner space of any respectable church, I fail to see how liberalizing the rules of morality will cause them to suddenly come back to church.

I think much of the homosexualizing of churches is driven by (liberal) parishioners who have homosexual relatives, rather than by the homosexuals themselves. They think "changing the rules" makes everything hunky-dory for them.

certainly - the point is that sermons are scripturally centered, not topical.
