Gungor.
Vicky Beeching. Mark Driscoll. David Yonggi Cho. What do all these names have
in common? Controversy.
Of
course, a blogger like myself could not go silent on these issues.
When
situations like this arise, we are challenged, confused, disillusioned. We
often resort to bashing, freaking out, and being disgusted (or excited) when a
Christian celebrity falls.
When
I think of the aforementioned names, I think of children of God who followed
the call of God, were used mightily by God, and are being honest with their
struggles. Mistakes have been made; power has been abused. But that's no excuse
to write people off.
An
Issue of Worship
Allow
me to issue a challenge—to you, to me. This is about worship. When situations
like this arise, I wonder whom we are worshiping, what we're prioritizing. Our
worship culture so often becomes a consumer game of digesting the latest,
greatest songs and resources, idolizing the people who carry the gifts of God.
