Thanks, Terry, I agree. And the only one we can change is ourselves, and it is our job. Well said.

My husband used to belong to a ministerial alliance years ago. Would you believe a woman from a local Women’s Shelter showed up one morning at our monthly breakfast at a restaurant and actually asked all the ministers there to please not preach on the verses in the Bible about wifely submission, because the verses could be abused by wife-beaters????

I couldn’t believe she would actually have the audacity to tell ministers not to preach certain things from the Bible, but she did, in plain English. None of the other ministers said a word (they were mostly liberals), but my husband said, “Misuse of Scripture does not void it.” She didn’t say any more after that.

Being in a ministerial aliance with liberal ministers for a time, several years ago, was quite interesting — and why my husband is not in one any more. He really got an education; up until that time, he hadn’t realized how liberal some ministers in some of these denominations are, because he hadn’t had much contact with either.
