One thought on “Jim Shella: Churches still struggle with issues of inclusion

  1. Quote: America is changing rapidly and I predict church organizations will catch up at some point—without an increase in the death rate.

    That’s the problem, Jim. The church is not supposed to be following (“catching up to”) cultural trends that undermine God’s word and instead subscribe to the tenets of secular-humanism, which has become the default religion in America, rather than Christianity.

    Where in the Bible does Jesus say, “Go forth and see what fallen man’s evil heart wants to do. Then tell him it’s OK so he feels good about himself and condemns those who adhere to and preach my Father’s word?”
