This past weekend we had an event for all the Pastors in our country. We called it “Answer The Call.” The idea was to call the Pastors to awaken and get involved in the moral issues of the day and to speak out and stand against the blatant immorality that is permeating our society today. You know just do what Pastors are called to do. Be light and salt.” Light illuminates the darkness to expose and bring clarity. Salt is a preservative. When salt is applied to a wound or a cut, it hurts. Pastors need to speak truth. If our Pastors and churches aren’t involved in the fight, our nation will die. Immorality will reign and evil will destroy us. This is not optional, any Pastor who hides his head in the sand is not worthy to be called a man of God. Hiding behind your business and “church duties” is not acceptable. Speak up, stand up, and call out immortality and evil. That’s your job.

We invited over 80 Pastors to our brunch last Saturday, and only 14 pastors even bothered to show up. Our total of leaders and Pastors was a meager 41. Unfortunate, but true to form. I have tried for five years to sound the alarm as a watchmen on the wall, but to no avail. My heart is heavy! Well is it spoken of these AWOL Pastors who are woke and asleep. Isaiah well prophesied of them in Chapter 56:10 “His watchmen are blind, (can’t see), they are all ignorant (no knowledge), they are dumb dogs, they cannot bark (no voice), sleeping lying down loving to slumber (dreamers yet no Godly vision). Todays Pastors and parishioners would rather be prophesied to about great mysteries than to apply the word to our present evil. They scream tell us good things, we want our best life now!! We don’t want correction, we want prosperity. It’s a sad day for the church sitting in comfortable pews eating and drinking of God’s good pleasure without concern for the evil that permeates our culture.

It’s a culture war and the Pastors are mostly AWOL. God forgive us.

This may seem harsh, but it needs to be said. We are losing a war that should be won. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. However if the kingdom of darkness is not challenged, it will grow stronger day by day. I refuse to quit. The solution is to pray for your Pastor, speak to him and let him know the church needs to hear about what is happening in the world. If that doesn’t work, maybe a new church is the answer. Rh
