The folks over at Family Room Media have been busy putting together some short video clips. According to the FRM website, these clips "are intended to point out contradictions often encountered in religious institutions." Depending upon your perspective, you may found them funny, sad, or outrageously heretical; however, I believe that our brothers and sisters at FRM are doing us a tremendous favor in raising these issues. I see them as high-tech "Chick Tracts" aimed at bringing us face to face with our inconsistencies in the body of Christ. Here's one of my favorites, dealing with the issue of "Qualifications for Ministry." Can't you imagine hearing the words of Pastor Bruce—almost verbatim—from any number of one-man-show pastors out there, especially in our Reformed evangelical churches? Yes, I know it would be impossible to accommodate and "control" those who might like to share a word of encouragement or exhortation in most church services: but doesn't that, in itself, form an indictment against the way we do church? What happened to Paul's guidelines to let several people speak in an orderly fashion to the edification of the assembly. Oh, what was I thinking, that would be raising the "priesthood of the believer" to dangerous heights!
