Sounds good!
The problem is that it has become very hard to build a church that way. We pastors are forced to tiptoe through the tulips so as not to offend anyone. The church has become the most pc place in America.
That's why people say if you're ultra-conservative your church won't be large. People don't want to give up any personal liberties. I personally don't believe being conservative will kill church growth. I just think it adds all sorts of issues mainline denominations don't deal with.
Some choose social acceptance and larger crowds over pulpit freedom. I guess they feel the need to protect their pocketbooks?!
