A common theme will emerge when reading pieces critical to the movement. That is, the inability of the secular mind to process the idea of literally applying commands of Jesus to our present day lives. The default resort for most criticisms is to focus on the MANY areas of divisiveness within the movement and amplify those to their end, depending on whatever it is they're taking issue with.
This makes what our pastor at RCC, Devin Smith, had to say on Sunday extremely relevant. Not that it wasn't anyway, but in this discussion for sure! Enjoy. More resources coming with the next episode.
