Actually it was the preaching the gospel of Obama and Obamacare that got me steamed. But it was when the "Pastor" of my Congregational Church finessed the replacement of the old Pilgrim Hymnal with the "New Century Hymnal" removing all references to God the Father, thee, thou and any non-PC phrases that I finally declined my membership and beat feet.

Any Christian fellowship should have the Bible as the rule and guide of its faith and practice.
This is not a denomination thing. All Christians must follow the bible.
Clear cut, lucid, not complex at all. Better to pray and read scriptures alone than to associate with the profane.

"Liberalizing" of churches is a deliberate and systematic step in the plan of cultural marxists. This part of their plan is vital to their effort to destroy America so it can be made into the Marxist Utopia. Please listen to this 35 minute podcast from Steve Deace (Dase, rhymes with Base) about Antonio Gramsci. the most important man of the 20th Century you have never heard about.

Antonio Gramsci was an Italian Marxist theoretician and politician. He wrote on political theory, sociology and linguistics. He was a founding member and one-time leader of the Communist Party of Italy and was imprisoned by Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime. Gramsci is best known for his theory of cultural hegemony, which describes how states use cultural institutions to maintain power in capitalist societies.

I came to the Lord as a result of Evangelical Christians working with a Pentacostal Fellowship. Hard pews, strong prayers, folks walkin' their talk. Baptised in a river, down once for the Father, once for the Son, and once for the Holy Ghost. No wishy-washy, no compromise, no sugar coating.
The Bible says it, I believe it, that settles it.

Every time the Christian church fails, its because it has become too wedded to and led by the culture around it instead of leading it.
