1 | What do you think? | Luke 6:42 | nomad1 | 144863 | ||
a young unmarried couple were renting a house from the church. the young man attended this church regularly. he was also encouraging his girlfriend to come with him. The church had a vote and decided that they had to move. the preacher came alone and told them to get married or move. The church did not pray for this couple and noone from the church came to invite the young lady to church. In fact, this was the only time the pastor had been to their home. He told them that their sin was the number one sin greater even than murder. The preacher did ask the young man to come back to church but he no longer feels welcome and my question is this if he is not welcome in one house, why is he welcome in another. Both houses are Gods | ||||||

nomad1 ::: Please ponder: which stand should the church have taken: to condemn the overt sexual immorality of the couple and take the risk of hurting their feelings by evicting them, or to look the other way and pretend it didn't exist? How do you know the church did not pray for this couple? Do you have knowledge of the content of the private prayers of each church member? The preacher after all did offer them a viable option: to get married, which apparently they refused. In any event, the young couple made their own decision; the church merely acted on that decision. Following Christ involves a decision of either/or: either Christ or the world. It can never be both/and. --Hank | ||||||
