A pastor argues churches have abandoned their purpose by prioritizing comfort over truth. He criticizes pastors who stay silent on abortion and politics, praising Andrew as someone who preaches correction and biblical conviction instead of affirmation.

Hey, watch this. Let me know what you think. You know, Donald Trump's not as pro-life as me. I say, well, has your pastor spoke out regularly against the slaughter of the unborn? Well, no, no, my pastor doesn't do politics. Oh, so you want Donald Trump to speak out on holy matters when the person you tithe and offer to that you call your home church won't even whisper about it? Got it. That's good. Let's remind each other what church is. Church is not a place. Where you go to be affirmed. Church is a place where you go to be saved and corrected. It is not a place to be told about how your lifestyle is the greatest thing ever. You go there to be reminded that you need a savior and that your life is currently in error. But people don't like that. They say, well, that's not very nice if I tell the people that come to church in that way. Well, hold on a second. What exactly are you running here? Is it a church which is about correction and elevating the divine, or is it a place where a TED Talk occurs with organized parking, above-average coffee and a motivational speech and good music with nice lights? What exactly are you running there? You see, a church in its proper context, as Andrew has done a great job throughout his career— and what a great example, by the way, for other pastors to follow— a church should be unafraid to go against the culture and not conform to the world, but preach the word.
