When Traditional Structures Are Thrown Out In The Church

The Pastor Who Won’t Talk About Politics
If a pastor says, “I don’t talk about politics,” what he’s essentially saying is, “I won’t teach you how to love your neighbor.” How so? When a church says, “We don’t get political,” what they actually mean is, “We won’t apply God’s Word to public life.” But politics is public… […]

Basham has some interesting comments about those pastors and churches that refuse to speak truth, and how these recent events […]
Forgiveness Not Inconsistent With Prosecution
"[Erika is] a Christian woman. And Jesus says 'Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you, and forgive as you've been forgiven. So she goes, 'I'm gonna obey Jesus.' Stephen Miller is a magistrate. And the Lord Jesus says to him, 'Punish the evildoer, be a terror, an… pic.twitter.com/EZO5tLvDcR […]
