In Christianity, the presence of malevolent individuals poses significant challenges to the faith community. These individuals can distort the core teachings of Christianity, leading others astray and fostering an environment of distrust and division. The Bible warns against false prophets and those who would exploit the vulnerable for their own gain, emphasizing the importance of discernment among believers. When evil influences infiltrate the church, they can undermine the message of love, compassion, and forgiveness that is central to Christian doctrine. This distortion not only affects the spiritual health of the congregation but can also tarnish the reputation of the faith in the eyes of the wider world. Furthermore, the impact of evil individuals extends beyond mere theological implications; it can also manifest in real-world consequences that affect the lives of many. For instance, when leaders within the church engage in unethical behavior, it can lead to disillusionment among followers, causing them to question their beliefs and the integrity of their community. This erosion of trust can create a ripple effect, where the actions of a few taint the perception of the many. Therefore, it is crucial for Christians to remain vigilant, fostering a culture of accountability and transparency within their communities. By doing so, they can protect the sanctity of their faith and ensure that the teachings of Christ continue to inspire and uplift rather than be overshadowed by the actions of those who choose to embrace evil. #ChurchNews #ChurchDrama #ChurchCorruption

Church Hurt…. It’s a real thing my Personal experience with it.

Hello my name is Lashaun, I’m From Toledo OH, and here is my story of a struggle that is so real to me that I’ve experienced this past summer. Ok so sometime back in July, I went through something very serious and life altering, I went to my pastor, in confidence to share what I had been through. I was completely open and honest about what had happened to me, so we talked on the phone and once I shared what had happened, he told me I was no longer allowed to come back to church for 30 days. Because it would hurt his church members, I cried to him saying I don’t understand, I thought you loved me as my pastor, ……… he never prayed for me on the phone he never said it’s going to be okay, just basically threw me away, after I had been a member there for 5 years. What happened didn’t even take place in church or anything, that was the most hurt I’ve ever experienced in my life, I couldn’t believe he had done that to me and you call yourself a God fearing man. I could of easily exposed him, I could of told all the church business of all the wrong doing there, but I didn’t God sent someone in my life, to give me strength, and tell me it was going to be ok. As a leader you have to be careful and how you treat people, no matter what I’ve experienced , or anybody else you should never treat anybody like that and you call yourself a PASTOR. So if anybody has ever been through church hurt I’m sorry that happened to you, . So the story is I found a new church home and recently got baptized, God gave me grace and stepped right in. #TheStruggleIsReal #ChurchDrama #Church #ChurchNews #Toledo #ChurchReform #LGBTQ
