So, it's been over a month since my last post . . . I hadn't realized it was that long until I looked today. Getting busy, being gone on weekends, sort of has a tendency to knock one out of the habit. That and I didn't want to make my grand re-entry with some YouTube video (nothing wrong with those, I post them occasionally myself, because laughing is always healthy.)
Anyways, this news is way too big to pass up posting. For those that don't know, my family's church in Hudson has been embroiled in leaving the PCUSA for over a year now. It's a pretty big deal, civil court case, lots of emotion and theological nightmares. The case was filed Sept. 28th of 2006, last motions and findings presented in May, and just today the verdict came out. The magistrate found every point of the case in favor of my church and against the Eastminster Presbytery and the PCUSA. Ours is a big case, because many churches were looking to our actions last year before making decisions, and as such the PCUSA has poured alot of attention and resources into trying to win this case. There will most likely be an appeal, but it's way better heading into that from the winning side of the table. Plus there is always the possibility that they simply let the matter go . . .

Praise Jesus, the gospel will continue to be proclaimed!

If you want to follow PC(USA) church troubles, check out my blog. I have the church list with over 40 churches since PUP.
Good for them, I am truly happy to see that truth can reign and Jesus will have His end, even by using the civil court system...
I hope more and more people in the PC(USA) will stand up and defend the truths of Scripture. It was certainly like a breath of fresh air when I eventually left to seek ordination elsewhere.
