…..to really follow up on why young people were really leaving “because of politics”. Is it a question of people leaving because pastors are abandoning the preaching of the Word to preach politics, or is it a question of whether the preaching of the Word is insufficient for young people to clue in to the value of human life? We should be concerned with either one, but fixing the problems requires we understand it.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
