Okay, there are primary faith issues and secondary issues. There are issues we can (if we try) have polite but spirited disagreements on and issues we must come to agree on. According to many on social media, HERESY is just another word for 'we disagree.' So I would like to return to the basics
I am reading an excellent book by Megan Basham, Shepherds for Sale, which exposes the issues of Big EVA and others promoting a woke theology. I have observed this problem for years in the seeker-friendly church model where putting people in the seats is job 1, and pastors become more concerned with appeasing a secular/pagan society than offending Almighty God. We want to be liked even though Jesus said
AGAIN, it is okay to disagree. Catholics v Protestants, Pentecostal v Reformed, etc., etc., and the above Millstone examples are for those who go too far in preaching another Gospel. For those shepherds, God will not judge kindly.
But take heart, for we have God's Word to read and learn from. His Spirit will always guide us. So, let's be still and confident in the Lord. And, of course, find a good church, a community where you can belong, led by a pastor who embodies these principles without any signs of a millstone. Have a blessed Millstone-free day Jeff |
