Corey Taule wrote today in the Cheers & Jeers section of our local Idaho Falls paper:
Jeers to Pastor Stuart Bryan of Trinity Church in Coeur d’Alene. Bryan is so upset that his city government took this vital step toward equality that he is advocating citizens break the law and thumb their nose at representative government.
“I would entirely support any parishioner who opposed that legislation,” he told the Spokane Spokesman-Review, “I think it’s unjust.”
As Idaho Falls prepares to enter into this fray, here is a lesson in how not act. Coeur d’Alene’s elected officials have spoken. Those who disagree are free to oppose them come Election Day. That’s how our system works. We can only hope folks on both sides of this debate in Idaho Falls conduct themselves with more integrity and dignity than Bryan.
But I would encourage the citizens of Idaho Falls to hear Stuart out, rather than take this soundbite from Corey who jeers him and targets both his integrity and dignity. Read Stuart’s recent blog articles.
Faithful, Biblical and orthodox Christians of all stripes have been jeered for the last several weeks as well by standing for what has always been taught in the church and the Holy Scriptures. Pocatello recently just passed a similar ordinance with the same flawed logic and emotional progressivism that Pastor Bryan is dealing with. I pray and hope that IF can be the place the tide is turned. If not, Christ is still in control, and our nation is reaping what we are sowing.
Pocatello? I thought there were five. First – Sandpoint. Second – Boise. Third – Ketchum. Then fourth – Moscow. And now Coeur d’Alene. I was thinking in Poky, a no vote by the mayor blocked their proposed ordinance from passing. But there might be rewording with a new vote in the future?
Ah, you are right. Now I see the news. Happened Thursday night in Poky. 6th city. http://www.kivitv.com/news/local/210621791.html
