No...I will not be going to church this Sunday or anytime soon.
I simply don’t recognize them as christian churches any longer.
The message and mission has changed, and it’s not one I am willing to listen to or participate in, nor is it one I want inculcated into my kids.
We switched to a non-denominational church years ago - concentrates on the Bible and Jesus instead of other forms of activism and we love it.
Well. Baby out with the bathwater?
Agreed that MANY of them aren’t recognizable as Christian
Churches any longer and I don’t wish to attend those either,
nor do I.
IF the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not
faithfully preached by the preacher and missions aren’t
supported by the denomination, I’m out.
However, I gotta TRY at least fairly often to “forsake
not the assembling of yourselves together, all the more
as you see the day of the Lord drawing nigh.”
CHRIST’S message and mission has NOT changed. - I
suppose it is the era of the Laodecian church, and I’m
sorry for that; very, very sorry.
I used to read in the Bible about how Christians would be
beheaded for their faith, and at that time I hadn’t heard
much about “beheading” - until the Muslims started really
taking their Koran real serious. Nor had I ever heard of
the past murderous crusades by Muslim hordes that were
only stopped at the Gates of Vienna, otherwise the whole
world would have become a caliphate with more Muslim
factions fighting and killing each other for control.
