Also, interestingly, the pastor talked quite a bit about how allowing open and unrepentant sin in a congregation in order to spare people's feelings is not loving. In fact, he said that holding people accountable should have some sting, like heat burns a hand over a flame, the pain's message saves the whole hand from being destroyed. It was certainly something to think about given the situation with my in-laws.
Still can't shake the sadness and homesick feeling though. But I am glad we found this church, it was a bright spot in my day.
