So after years of being a “lukewarm Christian” at best I finally started regularly going to a baptist church last spring, right before they stopped making people wear masks indoors. I was longing for spiritual fullness so much that I ignored the fact that they were almost all mask and government law lovers.
Shortly after joining the church the mask mandate was lifted and despite not being a fan of most of their worship music, and despite teaching out of the ESV which I have mixed feelings about, I was enjoying it.
A month ago we returned to mask-dom and couldn’t help but going back to feeling like an outsider, hating every moment of it. I “want” to go back but I feel differently about 90% of the members now (that they are suckers) and having grown quite a bit feel like I don’t even want to go anymore. What do you fellow Christians think? I almost feel like I’d only be going at this point so I don’t “look” like a backpedaler, and don’t want to offend the very good Pastors there. not into the worship music, the Bible study lessons I can get elsewhere, and im not big on socializing…
What would/did you do? Stick with it? Find a new church? Just continue to worship on my own?
Can’t do anything in the region that I live in.
If you’re not wearing a mask…without “exemption papers” and the brownshirts come into your church service.
But who wants to be THAT guy that puts the church in arrears for tens of thousands of dollars.
It’s already happened in multiple locations.
My question is…who are these brownshirts? How do they know which church to “show up at”?
My bet is some parishioners in these churches are calling the brownshirts in…cause they are pissed at the guy who DARES to be free.
It’s disgusting …and all these people will be held accountable. Hopefully in this life….however there is no such thing as anonymity in the final judgement.
