Hear, hear! I am really growing weary of pastors that “don’t want to offend their liberal members” or are afraid of losing thier tax exemption. Bonhoeffer made it pretty clear, to do nothing in the face of evil IS evil.
It certain tells you a lot about your membership when you discuss topics like this as well. A few months back I did a lesson on “The Communist in the White House” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2468077/posts That lesson email wise generated a month of frustrated people. Seems they did not like to point out sin if it was in a high place.
