A quote to think on!
“When the church sets itself up as the moral police of the culture, we earn the reputation of being self-righteous judgers rather than loving, self-sacrificial servants — the one reputation we are called to have.” -Greg Boyd, Myth of a Christian Nation
Amen.
One of the main reasons behind this ailment is the Church has lost the ability to speak the Truth in Love (Eph 4:15) and so do not know how to snatch those from the fire.. loving the person but hating the clothes smoldering with sin (Jude 23).
Without a revelation of how much Father-God loves us, we turn to either 2 extremes: loss of holiness, or loss of compassion.
We need both to walk as Jesus did and rescue those He died for. True discipleship is rare in this generation and we are sadly content for the counterfeits. Satan does not care from what camp we hold loyal to.. so long as its not from our Father’s camp.
Thank you for sharing and reminding us all.
