Back in May, I had the honour of attending Church Service while at Dunfermline Abbey. The head minister explained it was General Assembly and what they were voting on. The old gentleman was clearly upset. He held the sermon with great emotion. It was his last sermon because he was retiring.
It has been a very long time since I have seen a truly emotional sermon. When we walked out to shake his hand. The kindly old gentleman was in such a tither. We waited in line to speak with him and shake his hand. His emotions overwhelmed him and said, all they can do is vote yes or no, just vote and get it over with.
The kindly old gentleman is a strict Presbyterian Minister. The vote was about Gay Ministers. My heart went out to this gentleman. He was torn between his belief and the belief of our modern world for diversity.
The church is here to give guidance and instruction from the Bible. Most of us know what the Bible says but what we forget, the Bible also says, Only God allows us to be in the Book of Life, not man. 'Judge not lest ye be judged.'
I still feel the pain the old minister was in. God Bless him!
