Why Would a Pastor Tell a Congregant to Get a Marriage License to Marry?
September 9, 2016
That is the 64,000 dollar question of the hour. American Christianity has quietly, meekly, and wrongly – not to mention disgustingly – gone along with homosex marriage. I have heard from countless couples over the last year who have been told by their pastor or other church leaders that “unless you get a state marriage […]
The Roe v. Wade Opinion actually spoke to this Donald Trump caused a firestorm recently when being grilled by Chris Matthews of MSNBC as to whether there should be punishment for women if abortion is made illegal.

Egocentrism, faulty eschatology, and the neutralized American Church. Having been a pastor for over 25 years now, I write out of a deep concern over the state of the Church in America.

Christian men of old saw things far differently. They Believed the civil authorities should “kiss the Son, lest He be angry” (Psalm 2:10-12). They sought to win the magistrates of their day to Christ or to at least respect His rule.
