I have been wondering about church differences also. Does God forgive those who believe in their hear certain Biblical issues vs what we believe? Would that be considered an "unknown sin"? I continue to be grateful for a patient, loving God. And you bring that out so masterfully, Pastor. Thank you.

It's hard voting just for the anti-abortion politicians. That's only one issue that person supports or doesn't. I have a friend, at my church, who voted totally opposite me in an election because she was looking at a different issue the candidate had. I was going the abortion issue. You really don't know what you're getting in the vote. It's too bad that some of the other issues are probably against God. It's pretty much luck of the draw, unfortunately.

As Christians we are called to walk the talk (the principles taught in our church), but as
sinful human beings we can get caught up & blinded by the harsh realities around us. Like the general consensus of “how much worse do things have to get before it changes.” Well, at what cost are we willing to put our opinions, feelings, wants and needs before God’s? And if I slip and do so, should I leave my church? I don’t believe so, but having an open discussion like this should be a wake up call for me to examine my past, present & future choices and compare them to the Bible(which holds ALL the answers to life situations). I didn’t vote my opinion and it was tough not to! Instead, I voted like God was standing right next to me. Prov 3: 5-6 “Trust in the LORD with ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.”
