Why has the pulpit become a place to persecute people?
Read this from a post and it makes perfect sense. We have experienced this so many times in HOP and many other churches do this. It's time for this nonsense to stop.
I’ve heard too many stories of pastors using the pulpit to embarrass people, expose private situations, settle personal disagreements, and turn entire congregations against someone.
And I keep wondering…
When did preaching the gospel become publicly punishing people?
Because once you have the microphone, the title, and the trust of the room, you already have the advantage.
People are likely to believe your version before they ever hear the other person’s.





Looks like hopcc has a new website at hopccwitness where they stood up a defense fund section looking to raise a million bucks. looks like they are the ones getting persecuted.
