Jan Markell: Our World Is Too Evil For Pastors To Stand On The Sidelines
Harbingers Daily ^ | 1/14/24 | Jan Markell

Posted on 01/14/2024 10:38:46 AM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

The month of October brought a staggering wake-up call to many church members. Some had been in attendance for months and some for years. A few had been active for a decade. They loved their church family and felt the pulpit was sound.

Their church has salvation right, and baptism. The music is acceptable and the youth program is outstanding. It is missions-minded. And, after all, no church is perfect.

The Rude Awakening But in October, many church attendees were going to get a rude awakening because too many hadn’t done a deep dive on all of the church’s theology.

Many had been grieved over the silence in the pulpit as it concerned Bible prophecy and current events. They accepted the flaw and got daily doses of those items online. After all, the church didn’t get involved in the cultural issues either. It is not unusual for a church to not take a stand.

Then came October 7 in Israel. What would the church response be that next day – October 8? What happened on October 7 was a game-changer! Surely, this would be front-and-center at their church!

It is true—the headlines, photos, and videos coming out of the latest Mideast conflict are not seekersensitive. They won’t make church attendees feel good. Talking about the sensitive situation won’t fit into any church-growth strategy. It won’t encourage anyone to become purpose-driven. It could even create divisiveness.

Our pastor has prayed for Israel every Sunday since this happened.

Course, he’s also big into end times stuff and sees how the current world situation all fits into Bible prophecy.

My “Pastor” is a big-time LIEberal; he is now a retired UMC Pastor, but seeks a GMC Ordination. Should he get a GMC church, I expect he will not preach conservative or pro-American values.

PS

BTW, my “Pastor” will no longer be my “Pastor” as of 1 Feb.

We are now a GMC Church and will have a new, hopefully conservative, Pastor then.

Remains to be seen just how this disaffiliation will work!

Your Pastor is a wonderful man of God.

Be thankful that you have such a man to lead your church in such times!

Has Jan Markell changed at all in the years since I last looked at something by her?

Nope, same old boogieman, "replacement theology".
