New Church

28Shooter · Nov 15, 2016

I live in Southwest Baltimore County and I find that after 35 years of attending my local church, the pastor's sermon last week concerning how we must be sympathetic and aware of the fear and hate being experienced by certain minority groups resulting from the election of President-Elect Trump, has finally made me just to uncomfortable too stay. I walked out on his sermon and now find myself looking for a church. I come out of the Protestant tradition and have always been active in the church, and am now looking for a smaller conservative congregation to attend and share in worship. Anyone have a recommendation?

I cannot help you with a new church but have complete empathy for you.

My wife's parents belong to a synagogue and the rabbi started spouted off typical liberal horse apples. My blood pressure was 247/133. :sad20:

Then I had the displeasure of going to an UBER-liberal temple in MoCo to celebrate her cousin become a Bat Mitzvah. They actually had a henchman going around with a microphone like the Jerry Springer show, and all the Jeeple (Jew sheeple) were spouting the Kool-Aid words. I couldn't stifle a belly laugh as I walked out.

We had a similar response from our pastor. I totally get it that half the people are upset and as Christians we should have some empathy for those who are hurting. I don't get it that all those disappointed Christians need to huddle together and have a collective pity party complete with wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth.

How is it that, I assume, educated people do not understand the history that are heading towards repeating? :sad20:

That's the Liberal's Ingenious Plan......don't teach history, so they are condemned to repeating it.

A coworker and I were discussing this at work yesterday. How libs/schools today are rewriting history, leaving out the things they want to pretend didn't happen, and how we our now repeating those exact things.....

The trail of tears....
Events leading to dropping nukes, and the Internment camps....

Went home and asked my two High Schoolers about these things......nope.....looked at Dad like he has three heads.

Watch that blood pressure Brother - I was 290/110 and spent a week in St. Agnes Hospital to get it down. One of the techs told me they were thinking on starting a pool as to my having a heart attack or a massive stroke - the Devil must have been afraid I was coming because I walked out of the hospital on my own two feet.

Regarding liberal synagogues, all my Jewish friends in college complained about the same thing 30+ years ago. We were all very conservative, very pro-Israel, and ardent Reagan supporters, and would often lament the questionable messages of our respective religious leaders.

I like the "Jeeple".

I was joking about the numbers (I should have said 700/300) but I was verily angry.

As I have posted many times, 'ANY Jew in favor of gun control is either ignorant of the Holocaust, or a moron'.

JPFO.org has good articles on liberal and gun hating Jews.

We are neither politically conservative or liberal, but focused on helping people grow as disciples of Jesus. Politics has no business in our pulpit.

Our contemporary worship leader is a former baltimore city cop, we have special forces vets as members, a Ravens coach and a guy who was part of a team who won a Nobel Prize in Physics. We have prayer teams who have seen miraculous healings, we house the county's cold weather shelter and I'm the pastor, an NRA Life Member. And I own a personal submarine.

We're not average, but are a diverse midsized mainline kinda church in Howard County. If any of that sounds interesting.

Was there more to the sermon, or is that it? As Christians, we SHOULD be sympathetic and aware of everyone around us. How can we love our neighbors if we don't know what they are thinking or feeling? There are a lot of upset people in this world over Trump. Understanding WHY they are upset is just as important as them understanding why we voted for him.

He aint kidding....most interesting Reverend

No matter who won the Lord is King.................pretty much how my church handled it the following Sunday after the election . It is a new church for me with 50 % music service and 50% sermon .

I/Family attend Arundel Christian Church in Glen Burnie on Aquahart Road

But with the above stated it sure makes me more comfortable the outcome we had .

28Shooter · Nov 15, 2016

Thanks everyone for your responses and recommendations. It makes me feel good to see that so many of my Brothers are practicing people of faith and that we all know that there is a power superior to anything of man's world. My real problem with our pastor's sermon on Sunday was that at the end he took a very clear and direct turn into the "political" by saying something to the effect of the "real" hate that has been unleashed on minorities since the election. He called me the next day to discuss why I walked out and I told him that his tone and message only fueled the perception that the hate is real and that he has never in the past acknowledged real violence against white people by minorities - such as wildings, the knock-out game, the attack on the man on St. Patrick's Day, etc. His response was that "he didn't know what I was talking about" and that real hatred of minorities has been stimulated by this election. I responded that healing and coming together would have been a better emphasis and that perpetuating perceived rather than actual violence/hate was disingenuous spin and had no place coming from the pulpit.

2nd the sentiment to find a Bible believing/teaching church. When we switched from a more liberal denomination, we interviewed the pastor and asked specific questions about his take on several key and important Biblically based issues that are often distorted in more liberal churches today. Good luck with your search.

Reptile · Nov 15, 2016

We had a similar snowflake soothing sermon at our church. No names mentioned, just a plea to understand that people are hurting and are afraid. This was followed by a coping strategy that the pastor recommended.

I wouldn't make a very good pastor. My recommendation would have been to seek professional help if you are weak minded enough to believe the left's propaganda.

llkoolkeg · Nov 15, 2016

Wow, that really sucks that anyone much less a leader of faith / worship could actually identify with the Jew and Christian-hating lefty libs with their anything-goes abortion-advocating agendas.
