More Haggard Talk

I think this episope with Mr. Haggard reflects a growing trend among churches and fundamentalist Christian leaders to be more concerned with power and politics than with changing lives and spreading the gospel. It seems like the way of the pastoral power ladder has been according to who is the most politically saavy not who is the best shepherd. It seems much of what passes for evangelical life these days is sound and fury signifying nothing - lots of buzz words and pop talk but little theological depth. I guess it goes with our culture.
