Do you sometimes get the impression that all large church organizations have been coopted? What is guiding Land’s statements, here?
Yes, I do, and the ‘seeker sensitive’ (e.g. PC) movement in the church is a big old part of it. Think Bill Hybels, Rick Warren, etc.
Was listening to the White Horse Inn (I think it was them) a few weeks ago and they were reminding us that politicians are not the problem. Evangelical pastors are the problem! How can we be salt and light when we’re fed pablum in church in the interests of growing a ‘crowd’ and being popular?

Politics. Its required for advancement in any large organization.
Think about what he said and forget the disgust for BO. BO is married and has two kids which he plays at being the dutiful and loving father. Thats all the MSM people see.
They don’t see BO’s support for the culture of death as that is outside their 15 second attention span.
I get the impression that every person with any authority has
been co-opted.
