Trinity Baptist on 301
 
We love Trinity Baptist on 301 just south of Warm Springs. We go to the 9am service. They also have an 11am and bible study at 9. A small very warm and inviting congregation.

Consider St. Albans Anglican church on Lady Lake Blvd behind the American Legion. We are a bible oriented, 1928 Book of Common Prayer, 1940 Hymnal and we preach the Gospel from the Pulpit not politics. See www.Stalbans.church or call 352-205-8567

This week the Southern Baptist Convention reconfirmed its earlier vote, 9,000 to 1,000, to expel from fellowship several churches that had women as pastors. They did this because they believed the Bible forbids “a woman to teach.” They want to do what the Bible says, what Jesus said. Yet how much of that do they ignore? Whitewashed sepulchers! I think Christian churches should deal with “our country’s desperate situation” by following Christ’s teachings, not by urging people to vote for T. or D or waving flags. I’m a patriot, but I don’t think that belongs in church. And it seems to me that the teachings and actions of the ex-president are the antithesis of what it means to be a Christian. After that vote, I’d say “Come out of her, my people!” The Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet are all three among us, and they can be found in the sorts of churches you are looking for. I hope you can find a church that will lead you back to true Christianity instead of the worship of what you call “traditional conservative values”. There are REAL traditional conservative American values to be found in a few churches, but they are churches where people spend long hours reading their Bibles, care for each other, pray together, and don’t think Fox News is the voice of God.

What’s a “church home”? Do you mean a congregation?

This Jewish-born-and-raised Agnostic supports your post 100% Thank you for expressing ACTUAL Christian values. It is a reminder that decent religious Christians still exist.

We attended church there in April. They indicated they were staying in the UMC.

Since then we have been attending The Living Hope Church (formerly The First United Methodist Church of Clermont).
They recently disaffiliated from the UMC and changed their name. They are joining the traditional Global Methodist church.
It’s 30 minutes from our home in Newell but we feel it’s worth it for the straight forward conservative message.
Also very community and mission focused.

Curious. Any church/denomination you would recommend?

It always amuses me when those who pontificate for their news channels, their faith point of view and so called political leanings, feel they can tell everyone else how wrong they are with their faith. Mando got busy and dragged his political aspirations into the conversation and you are right there with the back clap. POLITICAL view points are banned on this forum….

The OP specified that they were looking for a church that supported patriots. If you sincerely have a problem with political viewpoints, rather than MY viewpoint, you would've started there. You just have a problem with MY viewpoint because it isn't yours. And that's okay. But don't pretend you have a problem with political viewpoints. No one is buying it.

As I read the thread and see that people have the perfect church, much better than that other church where they don't have exactly the same ideas about everything... I am reminded of the Emo Philips joke voted best joke of all time

Quote:

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

Actually, if you’ve noticed, I agree with many of your viewpoints. Putting down Christians and their beliefs rubs against my grain. We are an imperfect people but from what I see, most Christians try to live within the tenets of their church. The original poster wants a conservative church, go from there and leave the cheering for who to back at the polls or watch on TV news out of it. Many of us are sick of politics and tune it all out when we can.:mornincoffee:

Could you point out where it says that?

I mean, it does say this: "Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise."

But where exactly does it mention the "separation of church and state"?

Did you just make that up?

Since you had nothing to offer in the way of advice, it would have been better to keep silent...

But no, you just had to respond...

Notice how, since I had no advice, I DIDN'T post a derogatory comment in response to the OP's question?

Maybe some posting on this thread should try that...

Given how many are looking for, or attending the Churches of Hellfire and Damnation, I would hazard a guess that an order of The Brothers of the Spanish Inquisition would do rather well in TV area.

And the mocking of faith continues vs an answer to the op’s question. But that’s a good way to destroy a nation and put demonic principles to work, isn’t it!

The OP's question has long been answered.
The was no mocking of faith either.
Many responses have mentioned they like some hell, sin, repentance, even a bit of flag waving conservatism, whats the harm with a bit of the good old Spanish Inquisition?
Are Christians so thin skinned a bit of ribbing is classed as mockery, or even Demonic Principles, and destroying the nation?
Come on. Get real!

In my experience, the more intolerant the opinion, the greater the insecurity of the person expressing it.

I'm pretty sure some here have seen the play "The Book of Mormon". We saw it several years back in Mineapolis. Ribald and irreverent scarcely begins to describe it. In the performance I saw people where either walking out in a huff or rolling in the aisles laughing. My wife and I were part of the latter crowd, and SHE takes her Christian beliefs very seriously. To be honest I cannot remember when I've laughed that loud or that long at anything.

The point? Simple. The LDS had every reason to be as miffed and insulted, given the content of the play, as any other religious group, had such things been leveled at THEIR particular denomination. But the Mormons were there laughing just as hard as the rest of us--and then handing out pamphets outside the door when we were leaving that said (in paraphrase) "The play was great--but would you like to learn the REAL truth?", along with a phone number and address. It was a totally adult, mature way of handling it, and I have no doubt that it earned the LDS church a lot of respect, and perhaps even some converts, that it would not have gotten, had they had a tantrum over the play instead.

I agree, the snipers against religion here appear to be insecure.

There is humor to be enjoyed in theater pertaining to religion and many of us enjoy it. And then there is the perpetual sniping and condescending remarks by the same ole crowd anytime faith is mentioned. They are intolerant.
