discipled strongly by politics, lightly by pastors, or rigorously through the Word and with Jesus

Friday, August 20, 2021 16:41

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

David French dropped an ouch that I read in another article: “Most conservative white evangelicals spend far more time listening to right-wing radio and TV hosts than to their own pastors.”

A broadside with Biden-levels of policy accuracy but an important kernel of truth. Let’s break it down… 

-I’d bet my ranch that the same applies to “politically active/interested” folks of various ethnicities and ideology. So, why pick on certain folks by ideology or especially by race? #WhiteGuilt

-By “conservative” (and liberal), I’m guessing he means theologically so, since there are only a handful of conservatives or liberals politically– Christian or otherwise. (As always don’t confuse GOP with conservative or Dem/Left with liberal.) 

-Why would these folks listen to their pastors more than they listen to radio/TV, since pastors only provide a half-hour per week? 

-Why *should* they listen to their pastors more than that to be faithful disciples of Jesus? Discipleship can only be lightly served by a weekly sermon. #RollUpYourSleeves #GettingEquipped 

-All this said, Christians are not disciples of Jesus often enough. To French’s broader point, they should be reading the Word, listening to godly counsel, and engaging in biblical community much more than radio/TV of any type– political or otherwise. 

-Punchline: All of this stems from both church leaders and laity falling prey to various temptations– failing to offer and failing to accept– ways in which one might engage in rigorous discipleship with Jesus. #DisobeyingEphesians4_11thru16
