It comes as no surprise that we are living in the latter days of the church age where apostasy is running wild, there are some churches that are actually devoted to the Lord. A large church does not necessarily mean that it is the messages from the pastor is good. Actually it is mostly the small churches that preach the undiluted Word of God, as it is written:2 Timothy 4:3 - For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. The church members hear pleasant messages that are pleasing to their ears so they remain in the church, and if hearing messages which preach the truth such as condemnation, it is disturbing to them. Most importantly Jesus is rarely mentioned in some of these large churches, as it is written:Revelation 3:16 - So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Jesus has to come first in all churches and he should be the topic of conversation. But I do agree with you to some extent of how you mentioned chastising homosexuals and condoning them just so they may receive tithes. Just look at the decline of the church. In the book of ACTS there was no fear of lacking tithes or watering down the Word of God to receive tithes, for example in acts:And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Also in Acts:Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
And churches like these are extemely rare these days, as you can clearly see the declining of the church.
But most churches today are like this for example:Ananias and Sapphira{But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.}
I have been to many churches in the past trying to find the right one, and I have been to churches where they do condone homosexuality and preaches that it is not a sin, and the congregationis large in amount.
Jesus himself said:I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
But these are just my opinions, but I tell you the truth, someone else will come and explain the truth in greater details.
God Bless!
