This is really disappointing coming from Franklin Graham, in particular. I really like him overall, and he has been courageously outspoken on the evil of Islam, but on this issue he appears to have put his emotions before truth and common sense. This is sadly a common problem in most churches today, and as a Christian it’s one that drives me crazy.

So many churches have drifted leftward, and as a result constantly prioritize emotions over facts and truth. This leads their pastors and congregations into frequent error, something we are called to guard against. As long as someone gets a “warm fuzzy”, the truth not only doesn’t matter to them, but efforts to reveal the truth seem to be viewed by them as “rude” and “divisive.” Like any other liberals, they just want to live in their imaginary bubble where they can “feel good” about all the good deeds they falsely imagine they are doing.

The evangelical church today needs a lot more John MacArthurs, and a lot less of the endless variety of touchy-feely, hipster, emotion-driven “pastors” that populate the present church landscape. We need a return to sound doctrine, common sense, and discernment.

Churches can’t resist the idea that more people coming here means more people they can potentially convert.

“he appears to have put his emotions before truth and common sense”

It is happening worldwide.

It is Satan’s method to manipulate mankind. Because, once you pull the heartstrings, the mind quits working.

Man cannot battle evil with his heart.

He won’t have the stomach for it.
