The Church doesn't have to accept the culture around it. It doesn't have to police its language. The church family isn't a safe space for anyone who wants to continue in a sinful lifestyle. Because sooner or later a virus grows and spreads. Political correctness in the pulpit or amoung the church people is a a water pistol against an attacker coming after your family. It just can't be done. Change the way you do things so people would feel welcome? I didn't go into an Apostolic Church because I needed to feel welcome. I absolutely understood that this life choice was something I needed not something they needed. I needed to change my life. My lifestyle was diametrically opposed to their lifestyle. They didn't look like what I grew up with, their culture wasn't the same culture I knew. It was different. I needed to get with their program, not the other way around.

Amen, I know of an independent church that went from ultra ultra con, to saved at repentance, to wanting to emulate TD Jakes, to their children having babies out of wedlock and posting facebook pics of themselves at the local bars.
So when we try to hold a line of doctrine, or standards it's because we have seen what compromise can do and it's not pretty.
