The last time I went to church was on Mother's Day at my wife's prodding. I went as a sort of sacrifice for my wife on "her day". They let the ex-pastor's wife, who is also the present pastor's mother, "teach" that day.
Wow. What she said that day did nothing but evidence the fact that she's light years behind the place that a pastor's wife should be at spiritually. Anyways, she was talking about raising your kids up right, not only so they can "blah blah have prosperity movement gobbledy gook blah blah blah" but also SO THEY WON'T GO TO HELL.
My stomach turned at that point. I'm so used to fellowshipping with you guys that I wasn't prepared to hear that. I'm not used to it anymore. Thank God for that! But my stomach turned not because of my own arrogance, but in sorrow for the building full of good hearted people who believe this crap, from the newest newbie to the senior pastor! It really is sad.
Thank God we know better! Thank God we have each other to edify, question, answer, and learn from. Thank God we're not entrenched in the Babylonian lies!
