This was a heart-wrenching day yesterday watching the above video promo. Not judging motives, but only being concerned with what I actually watched, several emotions came to mind:

1. Shock
2. Sadness
3. Tears
4. Righteous indignation
5. Outrage
6. More Outrage
7. Are you going to do something

I wrestled all day yesterday with whether I should post this here. But after seeking valued pastoral counsel and talking to a few other bloggers and ministries, I came to the conclusion that it is regrettably necessary. Necessary that you see firsthand what the concerns are surrounding this brother and his church. Necessary, for what's at stake is the worship, honor, reverence and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ in ministry. Necessary, because young pastors are being influenced by this and to model this in huge numbers. Necessary, because God's Word is being twisted to justify the ribald roughness. And necessary, for in a real way the future of the next generation of local church leaders is at stake. It is very necessary beloved.

May I encourage you to be a Berean today. Examine its claims with the Word of God and then let me know your thoughts. And be forewarned: the way Mark refers to the Lord Jesus Christ is blasphemous; the way he wrests Scripture is unnerving; and the way he views the text of Song of Solomon is pornographic.
