I would like some thoughts on this topic.
A dear friend of mine has attended a church for several decades, and like so many other churches, this one has degraded itself into a seeker-sensitive wishy washy caricature of what a church should be.
My friend and her husband stopped going during the lockdowns, and have decided not to go back. She is still friends with a few people, and gets the emailed newsletter from the church. Which they will probably also be not getting anymore.
Through the newsletter and one friend, they have learned that the church is sponsoring a Muslim family of 5 from Afghanistan. This family will be brought here and housed and given free health care, etc. As all immigrants, legal and illegal get.
My friend asked a lady what the extent of the church's help would be for this family. Apparently they will be helping with food, housing, and will be driving them around to wherever they have to go.
My friend asked if the church would be witnessing to this family and telling them about Christ. No. They are not allowed to speak about Christ to them.
My friend asked if they would be driving this family to mosque. Yes. They will be taking them wherever they need to go.
My friend and I have serious problems with this.
Why is the church not sponsoring a Christian family, as we are pretty sure there are many who are being oppressed in Afghanistan?
Why is the church agreeing to take people to their places of worship but are not allowed to witness to them?
I am interested in what others have to say about this.
