I've attended many a different church service at many a different denomination throughout the year.
I try my best to do as I'm instructed. Gather with other believers and worship the Lord God, with all my heart, mind, and soul.
Today, however, I'm admittedly struggling with a level of frustration with the church.
Personally, I can't recall a pastor at anytime this year, discussing the most consequential event of our time. The outright theft of our elections. The theft of our voices.
It is objectively clear by any metric, that the church is going through the motions and avoiding a topic that desperately needs their leadership.
Likewise, token lip service has been given to the medical tyranny we've experienced. But usually, what we hear is a weak theological justification for the church not exercising it's authority, instead of outright defiance.
When churches spend more time talking about the next phase of a building plan, how to be more seeker sensitive, or why they are putting communion is plastic containers, while ignoring that "Rome," i.e. our society, is
literally burning to the ground, it angers me.
Pastors, it should grieve you that people are coming to the lay person for hope, more than you. Whether it's a trial attorney, a fired law professor, or a combat soldier.
We'll keep doing it, while many who claim a pastoral calling continue to go through the motions.
Church, are you truly teaching, exhorting, and applying the Scriptures to the
specific things happening around us? Or are you still clinging to the idol of comfort?
Can or will you say from the pulpit the election was stolen?
How can you read the wisdom contained in the book of Proverbs, and still be woefully ignorant of how are voices were stolen?
Please church, exercise your
authority.
