Ain't a gonna happen. If you have looked around AFF at all you will see that 98.6% of all threads get off track at some point. If we closed every thread that got off track almost all of the threads would be closed.
If you had been thinking you had to know that pointing out a lesbian couple were holding hands in church was going to set off a firestorm. Particularly given the conversation in the thread which is about JK moving the church in a liberal direction and out of the UPC. Perhaps if you had made a caveat in that post that this does not mean your church condones homosexuality and in fact opposes it as the bible instructs. That you are just not being ugly to people involved in this particular sin and are showing them love to lead them to Christ. Might have helped but come to think of it I really doubt it!
It sounds like an exciting time at your church in Houston and I pray that under JK's leadership Life church will make the impact in the 21st century that Life Tabernacle did in the mid and latter part of the 20th century.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
