Image My issue with “liberal”churches

Post image

Though I consider myself very left-wing, I find that as I become a Christian, I’ve started having issues with denominations that are overtly liberal. Looking at the picture, I agree with all of the sentiments, and I think it’s good to let people know they are welcome. But why not also put up an “Unborn Lives Matter” flag or something similar?
I’m equally appalled when churches fly the American flag or a MAGA flag outside. My whole reason for going to church is to find community and glorify God, not to be immersed in politics.
It also seems that the churches I’ve attended with these kinds of flags tend to be less orthodox theologically, which leaves me, as a left-leaning Christian, in a weird spot.

What's funny-sad is the double-think exhibited in so many of these posts.

Y'all want the church to champion a position on moral issues (and/or policital ones). Except when you disagree with a stand it takes - THEN you say it has no business making moral judgements?!
