[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I come from backgrounds that believe in God but never consistently went to church.  As a couple after marriage and even after kids, we haven’t gone to church.  But as the kids are getting older (oldest is 7), they have been asking questions and kids at school talk about Jesus and God.  We realized we want to make our faith more prominent in our family instead of being driven by busy schedules, etc.
But where do we begin?  I don’t feel like we have a good compass.[/quote]

Come to my church, McLean Bible Church. Families with young kids are very welcomed there! I will be happy to take you there and introduce around. [/quote]

You just told us you are a racist, antisemite POS and belong to a MEGA cult church.

OP Mclean Bible is not a "church" it is a propaganda machine full of sick people. [/quote]

Nothing could be further from the truth.

McLean Bible Church absolutely changed my life for the better.   You don’t have to agree with its teachings but the charges you level here are completely unfounded.

Have you ever actually been to MBC?

Probably not, because if you have you would easily see that 40 percent, if not more, of the congregation is non-white. It’s a much more diverse place than where I work.  Two of the three pastors who preach on a regular basis are black.

I am assuming when you wrote MEGA you meant MAGA and again this is simply not true.  If anything, MBC has been embroiled in controversy and lawsuits over the last few years because they are not aligned with Trump enough in the eyes of some.   There was even an entire documentary from Trump supporters who left the church and unfairly attacked David Platt, the main pastor.    And having sat in the pews every weekend for the past three years, I can say without any doubt that there has never been a single partisan political message, even when that may have been the easy thing to do.

To the extent that policy issues come up — and I would say that’s relatively rare — MBC’s views can’t be easily pinned down.  MBC is more conservative on social issues but more liberal on economic and issues like immigration, policing, etc.  It’s doesn’t fix the typical boxes we see today.

DP. To be fair, most religiously orthodox churches don't. If you follow Scripture you usually end up with a set of political beliefs that are a poor match for either political party. That, and Christians who deeply care can also deeply disagree about the right political solution to an issue, even when they agree on the morality (or a-morality) of that issue.[/quote]
