A Revealing statement ...

One of the latest issues to hit the evangelical blogosphere is the chatter about the Willow Creek Community Church survey. It shows the more mature Christians there don't believe they're being spiritually fed (that loud, collective "Well, DUH!" you hear in the background is from those Christians everywhere who came to this fascinating realization about 30 years ago. So much for Bill Hybels being on the cutting edge!).

What's so telling about Hybels himself, though, is how he reacts to this survey in this clip from the Leadership Summit. In this video, Hybels almost has a hissy fit over his flock's complaint that they're not being fed the meat of the Word of God. In response, Hybels says sarcastically that he'll make sure they're fed until they "BARF." And the crowd laughs! That this guy continues to pass himself off as a legitimate Christian pastor is beyond belief. You simply have to hear it yourself to believe it:

I truly pray for the Christians at WCCC, that they will quickly realize that if they want to be spiritually fed, there's only one option: Leave and find a true church that preaches the gospel!

As Jesus told Peter, "Do you love me? ... then feed my sheep." The pastor who truly loves Christ's church will do just that - or grieve. Not sarcastically bash the flock.

Praying for grace,
