Could it be that this is probably why the Dems love this guy, because he makes everyone feel good about themselves, because the Gospel and the Cross are left out, so as to not offend anyone. They can go to church and not worry they will be ashamed of their sins against God?
Indeed if you try to find a statement of Andy Stanley taking a stance against any particular type of sin, you will be hard pressed to find one.
IT seems to be a mushy let's all feel good about ourselves type of church rather than a church that brings the children unto God. How can one be forgiven if they know not their sins? If they feel good about the sins they are committing, because no one will guide them to the “offensive” cross or speak the “offensive” gospel, how will they ever “go and sin no more?”

Obama inaugural events bracketed by prayers, controversy, ecumenism

I don’t defend what Andy Stanley is doing in this situation, but I have no problem with him praying publically for a leader. This is Biblical.
I do have a problem with is the Obamas speaking in his church, both for political and spiritual reasons.
I believe the reasons the Obama’s picked this church is that they are the 4th largest church in the country and the event will be televised on the government web site. This will be a huge “notch” in the belt of Obama agenda.
I have watched this church’s services a number of times online and I believe you are correct. I kept waiting for them to talk about beliefs that I grew up with. When I questioned my grandchildren who attend this church I’m told that my religion is the “old” type and that this is the new...updated version that the young like. No wonder they like it...nothing they do comes under the category of being “wrong”....it’s all about feeling good...that touchy, feely type of “let’s all get along”.......so wasn’t too surprised to hear that Michelle Obama was coming to speak...frankly if I were a young parent I’d be insulted that I had to be lectured to on what my kids should be eating.
