This Church Is Going Viral For Their Openness And Their Sign Game Is Epic (30 Pics)
For too long now, people have used religion as a weapon or tool to justify their own narrow agendas. Raised as a Christian, I was taught that God was loving and merciful. Jesus wanted us to welcome and embrace our neighbors no matter who they are, and open our homes and hearts to strangers in need. Too many so-called Christians spread messages of hatred and division, using the moral justification that Christianity provides for power and control, whilst acting in ways which are completely anathema to the teachings of the Gospel.
Clackamas United Church of Christ is reclaiming the original, inclusive message of Christ by practicing what they preach. Pastor Adam welcomes all to his sermons with love and acceptance regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or any other the other ways we choose to divide ourselves as human beings.
"God loves you relentlessly and eternally because God is love," is one of Pastor Adam's core principles. The fact that this kind of open-hearted approach is going viral, as opposed to simply being the norm, tells you everything about the direction that many churches have taken. The Pastor's signs preach a loving and progressive worldview that, for me at least, is what Christianity should be all about.
Scroll down to see how Clackamas United Church of Christ choose to spread the Word of the Lord, and let us know what you think in the comments!

This is incredible. So many LGBTQ+ people want to worship but have been forced out of their religious places of worship just because of how they were born. This church is really truly the meaning of love and compassion by saying that EVERYONE is welcome. No questions asked.

I find a lot of people who say they are Christians have never actually read the Bible and pick out parts and twist them to fit their needs.

Lisa S, millions of people have been slaughtered, thousands of nations and cultures have been wiped from existence... in the name of the christian god. In the US, to this day, there continues to be hundreds of deaths within US land, in the name of christian faith. Stop being so naive to think that only muslims kill in the name of their god.

God also punishes them for complaining and makes them wander for 40 years.

Seriously? This guy is sending messages of love and inclusion and you're nit picking his spelling? Want to bag on his fashion as well?

If all churches were like this I may just have become religious.
