There is nothing wrong with our leaders playing the violin… as long they are also providing adequate fire-fighting services and fire-safety legislation.
True, but if they don’t provide adequate fire-fighting services and fire-safety legislation, criticize them for that, not playing the violin.
But if the city is burning and all they’re doing is playing…
Criticize them for not doing anything about the fact that the city is burning. What else they are doing or is irrelevant to that point.
It is not irrelevant. Faith is never irrelevant.
That misses my point. I wasn’t saying faith itself was irrelevant
But they aren’t using it for God’s glory, they’re using it for their own. And that is extremely relevant.
And a valid thing to criticize them for.
They. do. not. care. They don’t do anything more than what is required to make them look good, and calling for prayer makes them look good.
I agree. Target your criticism towards their insincerity, not prayer or the asking for it.
