I've read all the articles. It's disgusting. May God help these men, including the pastor, repent before Him and then before the members of Antioch.
I believe the following is Jesus' message today to churches like Antioch:
"So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth. ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have no need of anything,” and you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to apply to your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. The one who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches'" (Rev. 3:2-22).
As long as a person believes God wants him/her to remain a member of such a church, His reason would be to use him/her as a light to shine in a church that has allowed itself to become dark (Matt. 5:16). You never know who's being helped by watching you as you let God use you in that situation. 🙏🏾❤️.
