Morning Sue

so sorry you are dealing with "CINOs" and yes, I agree that it really does get to us so when we encounter it right there in our own churches.

I am happy to report that real caring loving fellowships DO exist and have been blessed to be part of such in South Africa, England and here in the US too....so dont give up hope. Sometimes change has to come from within and sometimes we have to leave to find it elsewhere. That's always a hard choice and someone whose opinion I really value once told me that if you are receiving solid teaching from God's Word from a Pastor who shows His Love and serves the flock rather than demanding to be served by them, and if the emphasis is on worshiping God, prayer and ministry to each other AND to the community, then we sometimes have to overlook the flaws and instead seek to be the good example that will hopefully be followed......
However, if you are not being fed God's spiritual food, and are not seeing His love and truth manifest in the fellowship, nor witnessing His ministry spread out from it.......well, then it may be time to start lookin' around for a Body that is Alive with His Spirit and shows it

((((Sue))))
I will pray for your fellowship...that God will touch those "exclusive" ones by reminding them of how Jesus spent His time ministering to the very people that they likely look down on, and reserved His harshest comments for those who were self righteous, religious and spiritually arrogant.

reminds me of a childhood hymn:
