That's not how I took it. Seems to me he is addressing the benchwarmers that have been occupying pew space for far to long. Every church has those "members in good standing" that need to get right or move on.[/quote] Ive left a couple of churches because of this.I don't expect people to be perfect,but the hypocrisy of the people sitting in the front pews,and a couple of ministers,can be overwhelming.I love the story of the pastor who hired on in a new church where nobody knew him and dressed like a homeless man to see how he was treated by the congregation,then went up to the pulpit and introduced himself.Then excused the congregation for their behavior and told them to spend time thinking about how they treated him.Priceless

I wonder if that was before or after his salvation? I don't know anything about him, but that would be relevant.
It was while he was a pastor at his current church. The woman he was having an affair with (who was also married at the time) was employed at the church, and was his wife's best friend at the time.
He also claimed that demons told him the name of six spell-castinf witches in his church, and threatened to expose them if they didn't leave. The guy is a nut.

He may be ranting, but what is he ranting wrong? I've seen women in my own church defend abortion and it saddens me. They put man's politics over the commandments of God Almighty. Maybe a fiery preacher willing to step on toes would get them to realize their fallacy. However, since the modern church worships hippie Jesus they would likely team together and get the preacher ran off.

Search "Greg Locke crazy" on YouTube. Be warned a lot of the videos have strong language. The guy does the screaming and the toddler tantrum, angry dance a lot and screams at imaginary church members to get out a lot too. He needs committed.

He might be ranting, and I'd say it is a safe bet he is a sinner; but is he wrong?

Yes, he's wrong. He told people that he thinks aren't saved that they don't belong in his church. J station, if a woman in your church is pro-abortion church is exactly where she needs to be.

Loosegoose these ladies definitely need to be in church. I suspect about 90% of the church members feel the same as those ladies do. Now if a fiery preacher came into my church and preached a sermon on supporting abortion was supporting a sin...I don't reckon he would last long. To be fair though, at 51 I've never heard a sermon on the evils of abortion whether the pews are filled with democrats or republicans.

You have never been to to First Baptist Church Henryville Indiana obviously. Had just that sermon on mother's day as a matter of fact.
Had another recently that directly called out homosexual activity also. That's what you get when your church sticks to God's word and not influenced by man's.
I love my church. As you said a church true to God's word are few and far between these days.

Blaine County, he was just another fire and brimstone guy. You need to get out more. Go up to Okie city to one of those if you listen to a sermon you get a bowl of beans skid row mission preachers, if you want some real down home entertainment.

Providence Farm sounds like you have a good church. If I ever find myself in Henryville, IN I'll have to pay a visit to the First Baptist church.
I sure feel blessed my wife found it. It has what I found to be missing from every church I have attended in my 42 years. It is the first time I get excited to go to Church and Bible study. I get disappointed I miss the 2 weekend a month when I have to be away for work.
We would be glad and honored to have you join us. It is streamed on Facebook I think. I don't do Facebook so don't know much about it.
