For every church that basically worshipped a former President today, millions of churches preached the gospel, celebrated the incarnation, and baptized new believers; and the only political statement they made is, “Jesus is Lord.”

Why would a book targeting two of the most fruitful church planting pastors of the past 25 years (Keller and Greear) resonate with so many? Because some evangelicals believe our world is a battle field full of enemies more than a mission field full of neighbors.

After my first read-through of both Voddie Baucham’s and Owen Strachan’s books, I’m convinced that these books are stoking aggressive divisiveness in churches. To be fair, they think they’re defending truth, but I believe that they’re actually dividing the body of Christ.

@William_E_Wolfe It’s not a woke mob. It’s the testimony of a trusted elder who had been a faithful member and leader for nearly two decades, who was trusted enough that he was tasked by the other elders with doing an internal review. They just didn’t like his conclusions.
