After re-locating 2 years ago we visited several churches in the area & never found one both could agree on. My H recently joined one of the churches we had visited but that I couldn't stomach joining. He is getting quite involved in the new church presently attends those functions alone.

The pastor of this church was dismissed from another church when it was discovered he had an affair with a church member. He later divorced his wife and married his GF and was recently hired as the pastor of the local church. This minister has a pretty permissive attitude about divorce as does the church. I feel very uncomfortable attending this church.
any suggestions?

If I were you, I would express to Husband, this man is an adulterer, and I feel wrong about praising this man and his sinful attitdue. I jsut would not go, and say please Honey, would you go to a different church?

Keep looking and then find one you can both attend. This is very important. I dont' blame you for not liking the other church and your H owes it to you to go to one together, than both can feel comfortable in. God bless, LouLou

The way I understand POJA it is a joint agreement!
From what I have read the Harleys say if you cant agree on something than make no decision until you can agree.
I think there are several options.
PRAY
GOD knows which church he wants you in.

If you do go to this church you are not praising the preacher,you are praising GOD right? I think you can find GOD there if you look.
But your H could easily try out a new church too.
Maybe you could alternate weekends until you find where GOD wants you both.
Maybe this is a show of power more than a real question of where to attend church.

its probably better to let him attend that church by himself, surrounded by people who are like minded, who are engaged in similar persuit, recreational activites, communicating ideas and concepts with open hearts, a place where he can establish himself as a leader and gain the admiration of fellow perishiners.. yea best to let them do that for him you wouldnt want to be the one to meet those needs...

no reason to think the minister has repented his sins and sought the forgivness of the lord right.. sometimes the best teachers are the ones who have experience tribulation...

but whatever, its better to be right and righteous. right?

go with him!!!
