A similar event happened to me when attended a Good Friday Service at a non-denominational church. I was there to support a kid we took in to help who happened to date the pastor’s daughter. Two who preached that day started their talk with bad mouthing Catholics or being brought up Catholic but no more”thankfully” they implied.
The Holy Spirit must have taken over me that day because I felt very different energy and drive to approach them but I was not as brave. I cried while listening knowing this is nothing the the work of the devil. I prayed that God would help me make it where I can approach them charitably.
As soon as the singing ended an elderly woman ran to me and apologized, she turned out to be the pastor’s mom but even better she asked me if I want to have her son say something but I choose to approach them myself.
I asked each of the about their specific complaint and at the end I asked them” did your allegations bring Jesus glory or did it nail him to the cross? And they both said we nailed him to the cross”
I also advised them to study the church more. As servants of God it is important to work on building his kingdom rather than tearing it with ignorance and lack of humility.
Well I know now that I was not there by accident!
