I cain't stands it no more!
#5
A few years ago, when my daughter (oldest) had taken in 6 (yes, 6) children of other family members just after her son was born, we all went to a church in Raleigh that was having a Christmas program for needy children and offering gifts to all.  Needless to say, we all had a hard time affording "gifts for all".  Before ANYTHING else was presented about the birth of Christ, His Love for us all, and etc, this is what happened.

One of the elders presented a story to all the big and little kiddies about how he had been in a horrible fire.  He was burned all over his body and his face still bore the scars.  It was a tortuous event in his life and he spared no details.  Then, he went on to tell the children how it will be worse than what he went through for those who will end up in HELL!!!!!

Nothing about the Love of Our Lord.  Nothing about His sacrifice.  Nothing about His saving grace.

My daughter and I were shocked and would have LEFT had the kids not been so excited about the Christmas gifts.

I cannot imagine a church that represents Christ like that.  It was the worst example I had EVER experienced.

PS.  My daughter now has only three children living with her now:  their son and my other daughter's two girls.

And, glad Nana is doing better, Iain!
