Time for another edition of Fighting for the Faith.

I am Chris Rosebrough.

Your servant in Christ?

Dishing... your servant in Christ, in Christ, dishing up.

A daily dose of biblical discernment

taking a look at the Christian landscape

here in America and around the world. And asking the questions is, this, what the Bible teaches

Christianity is, is this the message that we Christians are called to proclaim? Or is Christianity

gone off the rails?

Well, if you've been listening to the show for any amount of time,

you may have been shocked by the things that you've heard

and I've got myself steeped in a huge controversy actually it's not that big but I've got a lot of

bloggers upset at me and you know at being a blogger I don't mind if bloggers are upset at me

You know

I don't actually mind controversy and the reason I don't is because sometimes I think that you

got to get mad you got to get in the game you got to start thinking you got to

start debating you got to start talking you got to start hammering things out and sometimes when people get upset that's

when they begin thinking. So I'm not I'm not against thinking. I'm not against

controversy. The question is are we going to solve these problems by name-calling and saying, uh-huh, Chris has just got a lot of hubris, he's judgmental? Or are you going to roll up your sleeves and get in the Bible and say all right

Chris has made a claim here regarding what pastors are supposed to be doing it's either in the Bible or it's not

he's either full of smoke and, you know, garbage or he's telling the truth. You figure it out.

Well, we're going to go through the biblical verses today to take a look at that stuff and add a little bit more context to the controversy.
