Regimevangelical = useful ijit

19 Apr
Just so. And they’re the first to yell “Your social credit score oughta be lower!” to anyone who opposes the regime; they freak out over dissidents like CNists while excusing government actions.

If they can’t or won’t be removed from their positions…

… may the underground church grow here, as in China.

    The Long March started in the church for a reason.

    I’ll go out in desolate nature for my worship or a mountain top.

    Religions Inc. is for Yankee Puritan virtue signal.

    These people are the reason why churches are emptying at break-neck pace.

    “American Three-self church.”

    Perfect, I wish I had thought of that one.

    The ERLC is supposedly the “public policy arm” of the Southern Baptist Convention.

    Christian denominations do not need “public policy arms”. Did we learn nothing from the failure of the Moral Majority?

    Here’s what Christian denominations should be spending their time on: preaching the Gospel, administering the sacraments, fellowship among the faithful, and caring for the widow and the orphan. That’s it.

      It’s a testament to the worldliness of churches and their “leaders” that they’re obsessed more with temporal politics than they are with the Gospel. Doing the things cited in the highlight is an arduous, spiritually exhausting, and often thankless task that doesn’t always bear fruit and that shines no neon glory upon its practitioners. In other words, it doesn’t appeal to the individual’s vanity. This is why it is ignored in favor of what appeases worldly appetites.
