Some criticize the Church to win applause from secular and political crowds, and nobody says a word.

But call the Church to be more Christ-like, more courageous, more Kingdom-advancing, and suddenly you're the problem.

That's not discernment.
That's spiritually dangerous.

Condemnation comes from the devil.
Conviction comes from the Holy Spirit.

Both say something is wrong.
Only the Holy Spirit says make it right.

Tearing down the Church for cultural approval is the work of the enemy.

Calling the Church higher is the work of the Spirit.

Don't confuse the two, and don't let that confusion silence the voices the Body of Christ needs most.
