My husband recently commented to a high school friend who was posting about Blue Like Jazz on facebook. He sent him an article from Lighthouse Trails. The friend responded that both sides were “brothers and sisters in Christ.” Basically, we can disagree, but the open minded of us will not fight about it. More of a…”you are being closed minded” argument.
Can both be right? Can Lighthouse Trails point out Donald Miller’s heresy and this all be a “well we’re all one in the Spirit and we’re all Chrisitans so it’s okay?” I say no. I say the Lighthouse Trails editors and contributors cannot be on the same page as Donald Miller. They are not “brothers and sisters” they are enemies.
Now my huband has to do more than forward an article, he has to point out error in a book neither of us is interested in owning. Lovely. But then again, will it do any good? Maybe not today, but seeds can be planted and hopefully one day God will show my husband’s friend the error. It happens sometimes.
Political correctness has found a comfortable home in the church. it is nothing new, really. It is heresy wrapped as worldly “love” that embraces every new thing or idea. Refusing to stand up against the truth, it condemns those who refuse to embrace their stand, all the while pretending to be “tolerant.”
God help us. while we have been asleep, the enemy has become firmly entrenched in Your church. No wonder Jesus shall separate the sheep from the goats, the straw from the wheat.
God help us indeed.
I haven’t read the book so I can’t really help you out there. Why would you buy the book, instead of just getting it at your local library. No reason to support an author you disagree with it.
Yes, no way I’d BUY that book…but have borrowed books from those who already bought or have checked out from the library. Good point JC!
