Fanatic Homeschooler Pronounces Condemnation Of Lily Pad Christians

On a broadcast of Generation's radio, homeschool activist Kevin Swanson remarked that he did not want his congregation to be known as "Lily Pad Community Church.”

By that, he is expressing an underlying disdain for church hoppers and shoppers.

Instead, once you land in a church, under almost under no circumstances other than gross doctrinal error ought one consider leaving the respective congregation in which one finds oneself.

There is no winning with this variety of legalist.

For Swanson is also among a growing cabal regularly pronouncing condemnation upon those not married off by the time they are 22 years of age.

But what if there is next to no one appealing in these kinds of hardline congregations?

And just as importantly, what if a church is so small and strict that there is the likelihood those outside of a small clique that will never be able to exercise any sort of spiritual or ministry gift there other than pewfilling and dropping an offering in the collection plate?
