It is so sad. We, all should be ashamed to even add any comments. We are contributing to and are passively witnessing the destruction of the family, the basis, the foundation of the society which is the divine picture of the Church. No longer God and His teaching ( holiness) considered in matters of divorce, sex, marriage, abortion,... Members of the church are powerless in the community. They only appear to be Godly, inward they are impotent because of sin. The church as an entity is following the same rules, laws, policies as any other secular groups. You need a degree from a college prior to qualify for any church positions. You ask for salary to rescue souls from hell and if not... you let them perish.( God forgive!) Justice is sought from the Supreme Court instead of from God and His Word. Nowadays we have to call our congressman to vote for our rights to preach the truth or to vote no if our opponents... God's servants feel comfortable when they hide the truth, stop preaching about repentance and the Cross of Jesus. They do so in order to avoid persecution. People no longer need to come to the church because they don't see why they should.
What shall we say? What shall we do? When is the best time?
