But when the Leftists control the specific church, there is no way to ‘rise up in leadership’. Sometimes the only way to show a church, is to stop going to that church and stop giving money to them. Going political, from either side, is disastrous for the churches. My former church changed the minister but still had a tough time getting more people into the pews.
We let them do it. In the 60’s they began infiltrating all the mainline churches. They knew what they were doing. When a volunteer was needed for a committee, or teacher, or to help with some ministry or another, they are the ones who put their hands in the air and began taking over the churches. Then at the district or diocesan levels, when they need to bring up local leadership it was, again, those on the left volunteering. Once a leftie got into a position of responsibility, it was his leftie buddies he brought in to saturate the organization. They have done this in universities and government also. IMO, We can’t run away. We must stand tall and make our voice heard.
