As Megan Basham shows so clearly in her book:
“Well-known evangelical leaders, posing as representatives of average Christians in the pews, are once again publishing open letters in national newspapers on behalf of leftist causes.”
Parishioners are responsible for noticing language that may seem noble but serves as a cover for unhealthy causes. This includes asking questions to church leaders when you notice recurring word choices in your pastor’s lexical/speech patterns.
Concern for the poor and the desire to rescue those lost in homosexual lifestyles are noble. But pursuing these causes needs to be steeped in a rich, biblical language and not in modernized agendas that diminish the power of sin and neuter the hierarchy of transgressions.
