Should hypocritical ministers be called out?
In past years, I've heard some say that hypocritical and even disbelieving ministers should not be criticized since they carry on a public ministry that preaches the correct thing. These preachers do this to avoid scrutiny while gathering a small group of disbelievers, but play the role of a godly minister on a larger scale. What is truly amazing is that they cite the Apostle Paul in support! They refer to Philippians 1:15-18. Here, Paul rejoices that people are coming to salvation through some jealous preachers that really just want to end Paul’s ministry. And so people told me that we should just keep our mouths shut since the good outweighs the bad. In fact, we should just rejoice that people are being saved like Paul did! This level of confusion and irrationality is truly fascinating to me. I’m honestly trying to understand it. How is it that you miss the obvious? You are seeing the Bible only as something people read. After all, that is all it has...
