How arrogant to tell churches what they "should" and "should not" be doing.That type of thinking is usually born out of animosity toward the true mission of the church - the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. That is a church's bottom line.
I attend a church that probably helps people in need more than any other in Charlotte - but our primary mission is the soul - that is what is eternal. The church does and should help people, but that is not its primary mission. It cannot compromise its mission and mandate to cater to someone who thinks they want everything their own way.
This " give me what I want the way I want it" mentality does not help the cause.
