There are some faithful local congregations, but they can only exist in isolation for so long. The abomination of a service in the link you posted is nothing more than the worship of man and man's obstinate declaration, "not thy will but mine be done." Especially noteworthy and sad that, in their opening "hymn", they replaced the traditional words to the tune "Nettleton" (associated with the Gospel-saturated hymn "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing") with the humanistic nonsense: "Sing a new church into being..." These words are their marching orders. Fashion a church after our desires, regardless of what Scripture teaches. Not a surprise because TEC made it clear years ago its ideology takes precedence over Scripture. They worship the creature rather than the Creator.Neil Stauffernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-803227899379505542014-08-30T06:08:56.536-05:002014-08-30T06:08:56.536-05:00"Perhaps the most scandalously humorous asser..."Perhaps the most scandalously humorous assertion is that determined historians have provided justification and precedent for such radical action -- determined to be what? anti-history? creatively historical? blind to the clear and unbroken historical witness of Scripture and tradition?"<br /><br />Determined to find what they want to find, when it's not there, and willing to distort the truth when they can't find it.William Tighehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634494183165592707noreply@blogger.com
