Thank you all for your comments.

This whole thing has me really scratching my head. I am definitely going to keep the Episcopal church lifted in prayer. I’m not sure when Jesus will come back, but there are definitely a lot of signs that demonstrate that he IS coming back.

It is the signs of the times!!! There shall be many false prophets before our Savior returns. The Bible also speaks of Nations shaking…look at the quakes all around the world. There will be more trying times and signs to come…but if you stay covered and true to God, they will not prevail against you!

The word is the word, but it is difficult to receive from a source that does not truly believe everything the word says. Being “openly gay” is a complete disrespect to the word of God. If a minister was struggling with homosexuality as a sin, knowing and believing it is wrong in God’s eyes and fighting daily against their flesh to succumb to the temptation, that is a different story. Everyone has struggles and weakness because of our sin nature, but flaunting it and then calling yourself a christian leader is a big problem. That person is a shepherd leading sheep astray.

I would NEVER knowingly sit under an openly gay bishop. God says that’s an abomination of a lifestyle, so to go around parading it in His house of worship as though its okay is a slap in the face!

Comment on What to Do When You Hate Your Job by MrsHolmes

I know this to be oh so true. God allowed me to feel so uncomfortable in a job at one time in my life. I did not heed the signs to move when he told me to. But, when the discomfort got so that all I could do was turn to Him, I moved quick, fast and expeditiously. God opened an amazing door and closed others. I am not in a job that I love because I moved and allowed God to move me. Had I tried to continue to try it on my own, I don’t think I would be where I am now.

Thank you all for sharing. Your comments are very well said. Unfortunately, there are people who are strongly against short services.

3 hours seems a bit much for me (and if you have kids under 5 you may need to put a half time show in the middle of service).

But I am less concerned with the length of service and more concerned with the substance.

Give me short service with a good word preached from the Bible, over a long service with nothing really being said.

The attitude concerning church service is the problem if you have a if God don’t move in 30 min attitude you’re wrong because the Father looks @ the heart,mind,soul,etc but the Pastor is led to be done earlier than normal then God don’t have problem with that

Amen. God says that where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in their midst. And he also says, those who worship me will worship me in Spirit and in truth. It doesn’t matter how long we spend in the “Church building” because Christians are the body of Christ and we should be worshiping Him at all times in everything we do and say.

Timotius,

You make a good point. Winning souls is extremely important! Let’s hope people don’t lose sight of that.
