A Demonic Look at Our Denomination

It is worth your time to go read Screwtape on Southern Baptists at the Kingdom People blog by Trevin Wax.  Here is a snippet.
At the local church level, I am convinced that the more you blind the people to their hypocrisy, the better off we will be in the long run. Make sure their temperaments run towards judgmentalism and not repentance. You can do this by keeping them focused on the sins of the increasingly decadent culture (by the way, aren’t the new developments delightful?). As long as the Baptists focus on the actions of those in our territory, they are less apt to repent of the actions of those in their pews and pulpits.

Let's not play into the enemy's hands.  Please pray for God to continue to work among Southern Baptists.

We are so thankful to be here, and we are really thankful for your prayers. Come see us! We miss you already. May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all natio...
