God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. ~Romans 3:24 from The Message
So then you have judged yourself "innocent" of having judged your brother Alex?
You just don't stop with the judging, do you?

How do people dress in your church? Dressed up, or casual? The teens?
I attended this church once where not only did the pastor resort to having service in the 'fellowship room', but he didn't have on a tie, nor a suit, and he allowed people to eat and drink while scripture was read.
All this on a Sunday night too. Shameful. I'm thankful he's not my pastor.
Of course, he's probably thankful I'm not his sheep. LOL!

Sounds like more of an informal Bible study. Why do you object?
