“Our children are watching. They’re watching to see whether Christians, but especially whether pastors, will call evil evil. Shoot, our kids are watching to see if we even know what evil is! They’re watching to see if pastors will only call out evil privately, where the cost is little, versus publicly, where the cost can be great.” –Melissa J. Hogan Where are the Shepherds?
The children of Chapel Hill Bible Church were watching the way their parents were treated ; some of those parents felt no choice but to leave. Many of those children struggle in their faith as a result of what they saw.
Shepherds of Chapel Hill Bible Church, will you choose to repent during your fast? Will you accept the cost of telling the full truth for the sake of restoration for these little ones who were lambs in your flock?
” If any of you put a stumbling-block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea. … woe to the one by whom the stumbling-block comes!” Matt. 18:6-7 NRSVA
