Preachers sermon....

Sunday is suppose to be a day of rest, at least that's how the Bible reads...Sunday is also suppose to be a day to re-charge your battery for the coming week. To sing his (Jesus) praises, lift up your hand in praise for the things that you have been blessed with and to hear uplifting words so that you can get through another week and be able to deal with what is placed on your plate.
There has been a lot of tension in my church for the past month. It's all because our pastor believes that the Watch Dog protesters do no wrong. The protesters have abused our church and taken advantage of the building and the congregation on more than one occasion ( I could give you examples but I'm not). The church members that live in and around Uniontown know what really goes on. We have seen things with our own eyes and heard things with our own ears. Our pastor lives in Louisville and most of the time he only spends 4 hours a week in our community.....
A good pastor is not suppose to take sides. He's not suppose to divide his flock into two groups. I also believe he shouldn't use the pulpit for degrading certain members or use it as a platform to gain votes for the upcoming vote. Our pastor has become lost in his own little world.
Would he have preached and spoke as he did yesterday if Jesus had been setting in the pew? My church is small and we are all very close to each other but the past few weeks the pastor has made ripples and after yesterdays so called sermon a few people walked out saying they wouldn't be back until the pastor is gone. Me--I'll out last him and I've given him my opinion at least twice (after comments were made about Thomas) in the past few weeks. I pray for my pastor that Jesus will show him the path that he needs to be going down and for wisdom to see outside of the box that he is in. I ask that as you read this that you will also lift up my church in prayer.........
