Poster 4thgeneration shared far down in another thread, that he was in a meeting when the featured speaker, a lawyer, shared why he is proud to be COG. Excellent post and good info about why you should attend the General Assembly:
4thgenerations post:
"I was recently in a meeting where one of the lawyers for a firm that represents churches, etc in lawsuits concerning religious rights, was speaking about the trends concerning same sex marriage and the LGBT agenda.
Numerous times he referenced resolutions and statements in our Minutes which give us the backing to refuse involvement in same sex marriages. He spoke of how important it is that we have those definitive statements and requirements as a protective covering for pastors and churches in our denomination.
Over and over he commented to how proud he was to be COG and part of a denomination that has been thinking ahead and preparing for this battle to move into our churches.
And where is it that such "powerful resolutions" and other such protective measures are presented, discussed, and passed? Oh yeah, the General Assembly. A thousand saved and hundreds filled with the Spirit is no doubt a great harvest for your investment. But someone must guard the house and protect the sheep already in the fold.
It isn't as glamorous as the evangelistic crusade, but the day is coming when every COG pastor will be extremely thankful for those "powerful resolutions" and measures which provide us ecumenical and legal covering.
