The pastor says they sit front and center. The gay couple. And some folks have said he should address the issue. But the pastor tells me he doesn’t know what to say. And then there’s the man who sneaks in the back door. Fresh off the street. After the service starts. And leaves before altar call. The people sitting close complain about how bad he smells. Of beer and smoke and sweat. But the pastor tells me he doesn’t know what to say. And then there’s the young mama who wears dirty skin and lets her four children come in and eat all the donuts and drink all the watered-down juice. Some church staff say they “…eat like little pigs. Like they haven’t eaten in weeks.” While the mama just stands there and lets them. And the elders say something must be done and said. But the pastor tells me he doesn’t know what to say. And there’s the beautful nameless girl only known by as 'the whore" sitting among the faithful. And everybody knows her. She sits with a painted-up face, cheap perfume, and a broken heart. And those who sit close, well, they all treat her for what they think she is. And at the last staff meeting, her name came up. Something must be done about her. But the pastor tells me he doesn’t know what to say. The pastor is a good man. Holy and just. And he wants to do the “right and loving” thing. And he wants to “look like Jesus”. And he asks me if I have any thoughts on anything he could say. Start with this and say it Louder than any other words: “Welcome to Church. This is a place of love and hope and safety and forgiveness. We will be food for the hungry. Living water for the thirsty. We are so glad you are here. You are invited. You are loved. Come on in—we’ve been waiting on you. Welcome here. We are the church.” Say that. To the called and to the called-out. To the leaders and the greeters. To the dirty and the clean. We are all the same. We are!! May we blow the dust of religion out of our souls and choose affection instead. May our words and actions and reactions be a sanctuary for all. Jesus broke many laws ( man's law not God's law ) to love. So, Jesus, be our voice. Be the only words we should ever speak.-
The elders, staffers, and self-righteous pew-warmers were there in Jesus' time- - - - -they were called "Pharisees". All of them have got a reserved seat right next to the fire for all of eternity- - - - - -along with the politicians, bankers, lawyers, and chat room trolls.

Rehab is for quitters! THEY are all guilty! Name one honest politician! DEFINE Treason. God bless the USA Democrats ARE the plague! RINO'S need to be hunted! Who's a bigger puzzy than Paul Ryan? Mike Pence? John Kerry ? REELECT NOBODY! Except Trump
Churches that sanction fudge-packers and the fudge-packing lifestyle are not churches at all IMHO. Such churches have been compromised. They have bowed to the pressure of the Marxists, the liberals, the homos and the woketards because it is so much easier than taking a stand for what is right and just.
Should you question that, I'd refer you to the "gay couple" recently posted about here that "transitioned" their 6 year old boy into a girl - I think they had him castrated. Such evil has no place in G-d's church.

Our church would welcome a fudge-pecker. If he was flaming to the level of spectacle, the preacher would have a private conversation about dialing it back.
However, while he would find personal support, his actions would not.
The pastor has been inspired to preach about modesty and appropriate attire before. Something that just hit him as we sang a hymn.😉 Several folks were offended by his words. Too bad. The pulpit is a place for truth, delivered kindly but not watered down.
If they came looking for a closer relation woth the creator they would be welcomed.
If they came to be disruptive, the would be invited to leave.
If they thought their deviant actions would be normalized or supported, They would be very disappointed.
This, will surely soon be some kind of legal fight.
Jesus intentionally went amongst the worst of the sinners, They needed what he was giving more than others.
Who here is so pious that they should hold themselves to be better than Christ?

Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
I’m sure everyone has seen the video or read about the Pastor who dressed as a homeless person. He sat at the main entrance on the ground at the front of his new church, for a few days, to see how members reacted to him.
It’s not the homeless person you sit next to in Church or the woman with heavy makeup you should be concerned about. It’s the fake Christian, the fake Christian nobody wants to sit next to, because they’re at church to network for business only and are liars, thieves, con artists, etc, and are not at church for fellowship among Christians or to learn/study the word of God.
