I looks like we made it to the bad boy blogs finally!  We must have really set him off.  Ken Silva addressed our piece entitled “Dine with the Porn Producers!”  Of course he failed to address any real issues brought up.   But hey, you can’t expect to get everything, right?  Here are a few highlights:

The comments section, at least when they aren’t arguing among themselves, is actually quite enlightening as to how far these who have bought into the new liberal theology of the new evangelicalism will bend over backward to excuse blatant sin.

No Ken, it isn’t arguing.  It is called working through the issues.  We do not support a hit and run ministry such as yours at CRN and Apprising.  We allow and encourage the debate to take place so that we can better understand the paradigms in which we live.  And for excusing blatant sin… maybe you failed to read this line from the blog:

“Do I agree with Murdoch or Gordon’s businesses? No.”

Ken Continues

The main hue and cry is: “It must be dealt with privately.” I guess these new evangelicals forgot to inform God because with no further discussion He struck the ill-fated Century One Real Estate team of Ananias and Sapphira dead for their sin. Very publicly did the Lord deal with this sin”

I love how Ken takes one single incident in scripture and applies it to all occasions.  I am pretty sure that Ken is glad that God does not deal publicly with all of his sin.  Otherwise there would be huge fiasco going down at Connecticut River Baptist.  But seriously, to suggest that all sin needs to be addressed publicly and that God is waiting to strike sinners dead is a very sad view point for a pastor / teacher to hold.  I cringe when I imagine Ken standing from his pulpit and publicly addressing the sins of all of his members.

Here are the facts…  Is what Murdoch is doing wrong?  Yes.  If Rick Warren claims to be his pastor, does he need to speak up, Yes.  Do many of us, thousands of miles away need to stick our nosy heads into this?  No.  Like I said before, thousands of pastors around the nation in more traditional churches are letting sin slip by.  If CRN is called to be the sin police for other pastors, then they have a long way to go from one church in Lake Forest.  Ken has no idea about the situation or relationship between Warren and Murdoch.  Hence, he has no say in the matter.  Once again, it seems that Ken’s ministry isn’t keeping him busy enough over there on the east coast… and idol hands are the devils workshop.

Personally I think they are all just upset that the Web article from the UK was removed 

P.S. Oh, and watch out.  The article above ours is addressing Steven Curtis Chapman’s involvement with Warren.   Pretty soon the only music safe from the reaches of the satanic emerging/purpose driven/seeker sensitive church of deceit will be classical and hymns.  But I am sure someone will find a way to make those “booty shakin’ music”
