I thought we were to preach Christ not be the Church of What is Happening Now.
A good pastor reads the room and knows if something is weighing heavily on the hearts of his flock. The assassination attempt was “so weighing” for anyone with a pulse. To fail to mention it, even if only in the “prayers of the faithful”, bespeaks effeminacy, and probably suggests that the pastor wouldn’t have minded if the gunman was “successful”.
“I thought we were to preach Christ not be the Church of What is Happening Now.”
There you go, reading the headline and not the article.
Starnes said they should have “addressed” the assassination attempt, not preach on it.
And any Christian should immediately leave the church if their idiot minister refused to address it. It would have been a good example of a miracle from God happening before the entire world.
I bet they would prefer to speak on how to engage DEI.
They can certainly pray for him and thank God his life was spared. We can pray for protection for all politicians and first responders.
And while endorsing specific candidates may cross a line, covering issues does not.
Abortion is wrong.
The sexual perversion agenda is wrong.
Assassination attempts are wrong, just as is any murder
“ I thought we were to preach Christ not be the Church of What is Happening Now.”
It was a very big event.
A church should have mentioned it and prayed for our nation.
