Because of "love" the leadership of the congregation I am going to have to leave is allowing a man who is not a Christian but brings his three children to church to write the materials for our 'preacher' to teach on Wednesday's adult class and go out to preach at small congregations we help with preaching. Because of 'love' we now have an ICOC evangelist allowed to teach our adult classes and be sent out by us to small congregations as part of our ministry to them. This week he was in Texas preaching for a very large International Church of Christ better known as the Boston Church of Christ. The man worked full-time for decades for the Boston Church of Christ having been rebaptized by the apostate Kip McKean himself. This group split a congregation I served at in California by infiltrating while promoting evangelism and discipleship in a cultic manner. The pulpit preacher and I along with another godly man fought it. The Boston group had gained the loyalty of emotional women who loved the idea that women are in leadership with the ICOC. We had to hire a lawyer to help us fight for the truth and keep our building.

We have heard no preaching or teaching regarding the LGBTQ issues facing our members. One of the elders' daughters announced she was a lesbian on her Facebook account and then married another young woman. His only son was kicked out of a Christian college for drug abuse and although living with the elder and his wife did not come to church or desire to be a part of it. Of course, this did not cause him to step down or have the two staff members or other elders say anything because we love him. When I tried to reach out to the daughter I was rebuked and told to never do it again because it could hurt her feelings and make her mad towards the church. I am very saddened and even angered at the corrupt use of the word love and the seemingly growing disregard for truth in the church, especially among spiritually cowardly men.

Thank you for being brave enough to post truth. None of this should be controversial but I know it probably is.
