5 /5 Trish: I have not attended this church in person, but I have been watching the sermon online and I am impressed by the teaching so far. Hence, my 5 stars rating here is based on my remote participation.
My write up in the following is not much about making a comment, rather, it is more like asking a question. The truth is that I am desperately looking for a home church here in San Diego. However, there is one very fundamental doctrine of a church which is extremely important to me and I would like to find this out in public. I hope that my following question does not offend anyone who leads or attends this seemingly wonderful church. If my question below seems provocative or intrusive to anyone, please accept my sincere apology.
I have left my previous church after being there for several years. In the beginning, I was very pleased with the teaching and the fellowship until US politics became more and more divided and the church started taking a specific political position. To me, for a church to get involved in political influence is not what I could agree with. As far as I know of Jesus teaching, I was never aware of Jesus suggesting what or who to support in the political system. Hence, I would prefer the church that I am going to participate in and to serve will always just focus on the bible teaching and not get involved in the political discourse and discord. I certainly respect each persons right for their personal political belief and practice. However, such a personal position should not be tied to church doctrine and teaching because our church is our secret place to worship our God, and God alone according to His words to serve and to love our God and His people.
I pray to God to find me the right church in the San Diego area that I can attend and 100% focus on His words without any political distraction. I hope that Mission Church Carlsbad is "the" right church that I am looking for. At least, so far, I am very excited about what I have seen online. Hoping that I will get some affirmation publicly from the leader of the church.
Once again, please accept my sincere apology if my question above offends anyone which is not my true intention.
Many Thanks in advance and God Bless.
