Tent Talks with Dr Stephen Backhouse

CHAPTER

Being Righteous Means Following God's Will

The church should ultimately try and position itself as a prophetic o, not one that's embedded. We have to be careful when we build our own institutions that reward lying and punish truth telling. Every time you find some christian leader who's caught in a moral failure, behind that, you will almost certainly find somebody who has become isolated in their position. They've become like a celebrity or a big fish in a small pond,. And they cannot admit in their weaknesses. Yet we have created systems which reward lying fortime and men punish truth told. It can't exist within.
