In this utterly ignorant Facebook Note (blog post here), Pastor Paul McCain showcases why the Church is dead. His asinine State school propaganda and bourgeois Fox News style rhetoric can be pursued on your own time. The issue here transcends his grade school view of Lincoln’s war; it is about a type of treason and cowardice which can only displayed in learned “ministers” of the gospel.
You see, if the church is the ground and pillar of truth, the salt and light of the world, then we expect all Elders of Christ’s church to be at the forefront of exposing and challenging the tyranny that assaults their sheep. Precisely because the shepherd of souls has this weighty responsibility, James says that not many should become teachers as such will bear stricter judgment (James 3:1). Pulling down strongholds and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ is the line of work that wins you scars, not friends.
