Thanks Dr. Bob. I really appreciate your thoughtful comments. And yes, revival starts with me as a disciple-maker, not a rabble-rouser. I read that list in Galatians 5 and the one in Romans 1 a lot - not to point fingers but to check my own heart, and often don't like what I see. The use of the word stupid was intended as a play on "it's the economy stupid" in the spirit of "you foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you?" But I'm also 100% human and so often miss the mark. In my short 58 years, I've not seen anything like the rhetoric change among the mainstream church in the past decade. The flesh has always been there, and in me too, but it's staggering to me how many pastors and leaders I love and have respected are now spouting and supporting things that are the antithesis of Jesus. This wasn't a knee-jerk article - I've been praying and pondering about saying something for weeks. Maybe it's not the best example of speaking the truth in love, but I'm trying. Thanks again and I sincerely mean that!✌🏼
