As I have recently been amazed at the flood of false teaching - much of it new age - on Christian TV - I am wondering if anyone is confronting sin in the church these days. I was attending a church some time ago in which the worship leader was living in sin with a woman in the congregation and was being permitted to even preach from the pulpit on Wednesday nights! I asked the Pastor why he was allowing this and if he realized by doing so he was permitting God's altar to be defiled - which was going to bring judgment on his church. He said they had been doing it that way for the past eight years and would continue to go on for the next eight. I informed him - No, he would not and that I would not be returning to his church but that I knew the LORD wanted me to point it out to him so that there would be no misunderstanding later as to what he knew and what he did not know. Then I left. It was an uncomfortable situation but my obedience is to Christ - not to any man - it matters not what title they have - if they are permitting sin to openly continue in the church - it should be confronted. This evening I found a new sermon by Michael Boldea Jr. which addresses sin in the church and I believe once again this preacher has hit the nail on the head! I will post a small clip but please make sure to read the entire sermon! It is outstanding!

We’ve become averse to talking about difficult topics. We’ve grown averse to broaching and delving into difficult things, taking a page out of the world’s book and just glossing over them or pretending they do not exist. The more we pretend the worse things get, the worse things get the more callous we become, until a ‘pastor’ giving aids to the parishioners he slept with is half a story at best, and the fact that he refuses to step down from the pulpit is treated with uttermost indifference. It is downright scary how quickly we’ve descended into the mire and how few in the church voice any opposition to it. The sheep are told to know their place, the leadership appropriates powers and indulgences they have no business appropriating, and we hobble along as anything of virtue, anything noble, anything good and wholesome gets dismantled piece by piece by the godless among us.
‘But it’s okay, it really is, we’re on track to meet the budget this year, and break ground on the new building which will outshine the old one, and have a nice shiny cross on its roof that can be seen from space.’
