Find a new church. I mean, God will handle all of it in the end because the real problem is sin and God promised us that it will be taken care of when he get's back, but until then our job is to stand up and spread the gospel and plant the seeds of faith all over the world that God can grow. Your pastor wasn't wrong, but he was cowardly. It is our duty as followers of Christ to speak the truth even if it gets us canceled. If Paul could get stoned multiple times and get up after and keep telling people the truth of Jesus, we can risk a bunch of soy boys in skinny jeans calling us mean names on the internet and getting us banned from everything. We don't have to deal with any level of persecution that Christians in other parts of the world have to deal with yet and when they get around to us here it isn't like the faithful body of Christ is going to shut up anyway. Be bold in your speech and make it like thunder that melts the snowflakes.
Show me church that has stood up and fought and I will attend.
I have worked my rear off sending emails writing letters to churches and speaking to pastors and all I get in return is replies like yours but no action.
The truth is that pastors are so afraid they will lose a paying member that they will not stand up and fight.
Christians are the originators of "trust the plan" but use the term "God is in control" rather than Patriots are in control.
Yes God is ultimately in control but when the people refused to act and God had to step in, there was a flood and fire and brimstone. And dont forget that God allowed his people to stay in captivity for hundreds of years.

Do we really want God to have to step in?
