Naughty Evangelicals

That the palate of today's evangelicals is pandering toward the offensive is old news. That the movement has captured so many defenders is. As well, many people want to sit on the side lines and wait for all the "big names" to get together and rebuke the Mark Driscolls and Ed Youngs of the Internet age.

But don't wait for anything like that to happen. In today's media driven hype, might makes right.

So make a decision now, to never listen to a man who preaches with lewdness, or unseemliness, in the area of sexuality. A man who gets laughs with sex talk is not sent by Christ, beloved. Now, if a man publicly repents of his sin, that may be different. But then again, repentance would mean stepping down, which would be good for the body of Christ, but not for the house of cards they call church.

See 2 Peter 2:18-22 for a word that ought to send chills down our collective spines.
