Questions/Issues Discussed:
Will teachers be held to a higher standard because of the desire to teach and to
take leadership roles?
The words John wrote in Revelation admonished the leaders/teachers who were
tolerating sexual immorality. Are too many church leaders/teachers/Christians
tolerating sexual immorality today? Pastor Ed makes this powerful statement: “The
reason we’re teaching it is because we’re not standing against it.”
Are too many churches and Christ-followers dead and life-less without the
Spirit of God alive and working within them?
