First, read the article.
After reading the article,, a commenter asked.......
comment:
What is the role of the local church in times like these? Our church has and continues to completely ignore all that is going on. If one attended our church you would think it was just another Lord’s Day in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. Our denomination has continued to allow sodomy to be tolerated again without comment. One elder recently prayed “and Lord bless President Biden and Vice President Harris as they work tirelessly for our country…” I started a Matt 5 with him a few days later pointing out that in fact this prayer is a lie, that Biden and Harris are in fact doing everything possible to destroy America and to make evil good and good evil (Is 5:20) through transgenerism, abortion rights, etc. And that he had forced the congregation to pray along with the lie. He changed his wording next time, a little. But as we enter into 1 Peter 4 times I am wanting to get out of our church of over 20 years, not because of false teaching, but because the Watchmen are not telling us of the enemy that is nearing our gates. I want to be taught trained and equipped for the persecution that is already here in the form of vax mandates, forced church closings (reprieved temporarily), etc. How should a believer address this kind of naive or gullible indifference? Or is it not the church’s job? Is a means of grace church just supposed to keep on keeping on and ignore the noise outside? Pastor Chris’s little quote above leaves me without a clear answer to the question.
Pardon my error, I meant Matthew 18
