Too Few Pastors Spoke Up. It's the Real Reason We're in This Mess Today
Spot-on article by Michael Brown.
"I don't want
to sound critical, and I'm not bitter or angry. But I am grieved. And burdened.
So I will raise my voice like a trumpet and say it plainly and clearly: The
relative silence of our pulpits has helped plunged us into our current moral
morass. Do we have the courage and integrity to face this?
I'm not
talking about pastors and leaders becoming political. That's the farthest thing
from my mind.
But I am
talking about pastors and leaders becoming prophetic. I am talking about us
speaking the truth in love, regardless of cost or consequence. Confronting sin
in the church as well as in the society. Conforming to the image of God rather
than the image of the world. Concentrating on obedience more than relevance, on
pleasing God more than entertaining people."
