Afraid of a Question? (Originally posted on Sunday, April 10, 2011)


  • Why are American Christians more vocal about healthcare legislation, cap and trade and the price of foreign oil than they are about a lack of prayer?
  • Why is there more discussion over music styles than holy living?
  • Why is gay marriage a bigger topic among believers than the absence of the Holy Spirit in our services?
  • Do more pastors golf than fast?
  • Are church boards focused more on lawns and roof repairs than hungry children?
  • Why are Christians alarmed over First amendment threats, but silent when the Word goes unread?

The church is hearing impaired. Weak and powerless, lacking a prophetic voice in these perilous times - an awful handicap. Is it time we stop obsessing over the nastiness outside the church and instead invite judgment to begin in the house of God? Survivability is at stake.
