Where is the church as a whole in this scandal? More specifically, where is Thomas Roads Baptist Church in all this? Why should they be involved? Because there is a member of their church, Ergun Caner, who has stood behind dozens of pulpits across the nation lying to the people sitting in front of him, that’s why.
People pleasers don’t want to offend anyone – except the Lord God of Heaven. If that church warns privately then – if needed – rebukes publicly Ergun Caner, then others who attend and teach and speak in that church may think they will be held accountable to the Scripture. Can’t have that! Somebody’s self esteem might get hurt.
Great point! And imagine if ALL churches upheld standards…EVERYONE would think twice about their behavior and feel the pressure to please God. Keeping things quiet will only last so long in this case. At some point all media will get involved in this. It could make for great press (negative press, of course).
