Uh, John, Does your church know about this? What if “they get angry”? Keep up the good work!

Stephanie,
All I can say is a whispered ‘thank you.’ Perhaps because you long for the ‘real thing’ in what a church should be, your faith is so vibrant and joyful. May God preserve us all from the depressing judgmentalism that marks so many Christians’ lives. My best to you and your family—that little CJ is a heart-breaker
God bless you!

I have so missed your wise words John, this is the first post I have read on your blog.I will be visiting your site more often! This is an issue and a burden I have had on my heart since the day I turned towards Christ. I , in my search for God had been repelled by what I saw in the church, knowing enough about the bible that I knew she wasn’t the church he had intended her to be. It is through your wisdom and guidance and the love of my family that He reached me, not through a “culturally relevant” church.
