Getting in Line Behind the Prostitutes and Traitors

[CrazyDiamondCat]

For 30 years, "Christian" has been a dirty word to me. Gandhi has been quoted as saying, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians; they are so unlike your Christ." I had some really awful experiences with a Methodist church in my home town, which resulted in me turning my back on the church, and although I talk to Christ when I pray, I refused to call myself a Christian. You've shown me that it's OK to be Christian. Thank you. This is coming at such a necessary time in my life.

I'm not a fan of Christianity, but this guy seems awake to the NWO somewhat.

I am falling back on my Baptist background and want to run around shouting after this message! Thank you Rev Ray!

[MrPotterhead1]

You touched almost every issue that is important to me. I especially agree with the statements about how Jesus was only intolerant of the intolerant and that you'd prefer a leader who gets things done to someone who never does anything wrong but doesn't ever do anything good either.

Former DoC/current MCC here...I've heard lots of progressive sermons, but this one tops them! Thanks for doing what you do!

[Ellie49]

What a lift you have given me today, Dr. Ray. Thank you!

[TheDuecyiii]

Fantastic. Thank you.

[CheekyJawn]

Sanity finally sanity! keep it up Dr.Ray! I hope Christians find more leaders like this. You would have many more followers.

Well done Dr. Ray.  I should swing by the next time I'm in Springfield. I go to Springfield yearly for the MO Methodist convention.

[RevDrRay]

I am the pastor of a small, new congregation of progressive thinkers in Springfield, MO. We're working on an easier to find web presence but I rarely preach under 15 minutes and that's what it takes to post to YouTube. If you are willing to listen to sermons in the 16 to 20 minute range we have months of videos on our web site: spfccc.org You can also subscribe to an iTunes podcast of sermons either by going to iTunes store or subscribing from our web site.

@RevDrRay Actually, YouTube allows up to 10 hours per video now.

I don't know who you are, Dr. Ray, but I wish there were MORE of you.

[shkirby]

truly a wonderful message. to RevDrRay (see below), I seriously doubt you have any sermons better let alone as good with that much pride sticking out front.

[bettypauley]

What a breath of fresh air from the Pulpit!

[MrsH12409]

What a great sermon!

[SabbathForSodom]

Thank you Paster Ray for actually addressing real relative matters most wont address or seem to comprehend..... It is nice you don't meet the typical stereotype of a Church in the State of Missouri.. like the ones in Kansas and most of the south !!

[anniemcu]

AMEN!

Hands down one of the best sermons I've ever heard.

[rfangsmith]

Wow. What a wonderful sermon. Almost makes this atheist want to move to MO and start attending church.
