Democrat & Chronicle: Local News
Here is yet another church that is preaching about God's plan for sexual relations and getting some press time because of it. This time it's in Rochester, NY: Lakeshore Community Church pastored by Vince DiPaola with an article in the Democrat & Chronicle: Local News. I used to preach about God's plans for sexuality. God forbid that our children grow up in a church where the pulpit is silent about sexuality. The Bible isn't silent about it and neither church the pulpit. Furthermore, our sex saturated culture is preaching values every day and people are searching for answers. Why not turn to see what God has to say about it. This isn't some topic that needs to be relegated to Sunday School or a small group. Lakeshore is using the ad that other churches have used. It's been called 'edgy' or risque. My brain must be really warped because I don't see it as a big deal. It's SFW. Check it out: www.puresexneeded.com. Some people say this is just a publicity stunt. It's not. This is about providing pastoral care for a community. People need answers that work for their life ... real answers. The best place to find them is from God Himself. Go get 'em Pastor Vince! |

Pastor Vince DiPaloa used this as a way to generate numbers. I have dealt with Vince in the past and can say that when it comes to marketing church - he takes the cake. The problem is that he can not keep them inside once they they are there. I do not have a problem with him speaking about the topic of sex as long as it is done with reaching the people in mind. Unfortunately Vince sees this as an opportunity to boost numbers and not as an opportunity to actually reach the very hearts of these people.
