We are United Methodist and I was simply following the book of discipline in a voting matter. One woman yelled, "We've never followed that book before, no body in this congregation even has one." I am tired of fighting the people I am trying to help. They don't want to reach out to anyone outside the church walls. It's a family reunion every sunday and to Hell with the rest of the world. God forgive them and God help me. I'm tired. Yesterday 5 members of the chruch I pastor verbally abused me.

It totally burns me that people seem to think once they're saved they've "made the country club" and can now be superior to others. Jeesh! We all sin, and the church's reluctance to teach how we extend grace and brotherly love is just plain wrong! However, I will encourage you. Not all churches are like that. Not all preachers and teachers are avoiding those issues. Maybe not where you are, but where I am, and there are many more. Remember God's encouragement to Elijah that there are thousands more who haven't bent the knee to Baal. Pray for them Rider. Rider, that’s awful what they did to your wife!
