In reply to Pat. Well, of course, I would have to agree with you. My point is, I am being ministered to about the Gospel and my political position, or anyone else’s, should not even be considered. I can read the news and form my political opinion. My pastor can proclaim biblical tenets and I can extrapolate from that and vote my conscience. However, my pastor should NOT be standing in the pulpit telling the congregation that “We can’t vote for Hillary, folks. She hates Christians, she kills babies, and she is straight from the devil!” THAT is totally unacceptable in my view. And I understand your views maybe different. That’s the great thing about America...diversity. Be well and be safe, dear one.

Ok. I have heard this point made several times. I respect your opinion as I’m sure you respect mine. My point is that politics has invaded every area of my life so if churches can be shut down I can accept that politics and various opinions will show up in church also. I myself have found that most of the people I know that have raised this issue hold the opposite opinion from the pastor. Just what I see from where I sit.

Thank you! I welcome any and all “discussions”. I am trying HARD not to even mention a candidate name, but keep saying “look at what the candidate BELIEVES in, not in what you don’t like about the person.” I’ve never met any of the candidates. How can I hate them? I can despise their policies, though. In the last few races, I have chosen to vote within the first couple of days of early voting so when the conversations go south, I can just walk away. I would like the link to your online church, though. We love our church, but like you, sometimes the messages from the pulpit seem a little skewed. For instance, after the George Floyd uprising, the entire sermon seemed tslanted toward support of the BLM movement. Now, don’t get me wrong, I believe that Black Lives DO matter, but so do the lives of the others that the movement choses to destroy to push their point. BLM goes so much deeper than “black lives matter.” The Jesus that I love and try to serve died for ALL. I would love to hear your pastor’s point of view of sensitive matters.
