Well, this article is Dave Daubenmire at his best. Believe me I hear similar things from the people who email me. Pastors in many churches don’t lead people to Christ anymore they just follow popular Guru’s and teach their congregations new ways to have a more sensitive and girlie Church service. Did Peter and Paul do that or did they boldly tell the world the salvation message at every opportunity even though it cost them their lives? Did Peter, Paul and John speak correction and instruction to the Church at every opportunity or did they just tap dance around the issues like many popular pastors of today?<\/p>\n

Dave Daubenmire — Thumb Suckers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

So, how is your team doing, Pastor? Are you committed to fighting for Truth or are you trying to be nicer than Jesus? At least he upset some tables\u2026in the church I might add.<\/p>\n

Tired of the stress? Tell the sheep to grow up. It\u2019s Scriptural, you know? Sorry, I have no sympathy for men who want to wipe noses for a living. That\u2019s what women are for. (Sorry, had to say it!) You won\u2019t be nearly as stressed if you fight over Truth rather than over the color of the carpet in the sanctuary. The enemies of Christianity are training their sons to be warriors while Christians teach our sons how to get in touch with their feelings. They are learning to cut our throat as we learn to turn our cheek.<\/p>\n

Look folks, God is a man. Sorry if this doesn\u2019t fit your emerging theology but God is the Father, NOT our mother. He is masculine. (My dad can beat up your dad!)<\/p>\n

Whatever happened to men in the pulpits? Where did we get this current batch of nurses? (Now, now\u2026if the shoe fits\u2026) \u201cOh, Coach, you are sooo mean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is what I don\u2019t get. Where did it become off limits to challenge a pastor? Oh, I know the Scripture \u201cSaying, Touch not mine anointed,\u201d but that begs a different question. How do we know who is anointed and who is not? I promise you there are many pastors who are not anointed of God. Jesus called them hirelings, those who are just in it for the paycheck.<\/p>\n

I think it is time we called them out. What if I told them I was anointed to rebuke them?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, I wrote a commentary challenging the \u201cshepherds\u201d and you would have thought I committed blasphemy. Where do these guys get off? Darkness is swallowing up this nation and the \u201cshepherds\u201d get mad at me because I spoke some \u201charsh\u201d words about their performance. Put your armor on, Brother, there is a war a-raging for the souls of men. You are supposed to be on the front lines. Suck it up!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Buck up, Pastor. Tighten your belt and earn your meal money. You are a servant of the Lord, a General in the Army of God, God\u2019s ambassador here on the earth. Get your thumb out of your mouth and pick up a few stones<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
