It bothers me to hear church leaders criticizing their younger peers for doing better what they taught them to do by example.

I read an article by the leader of the Christian band Skillet . He was criticizing worship leaders for explaining why they no longer believe in God.

Him criticizing other worship leaders for voicing their loss of faith. Reminds me of an older pastor criticizing a young pastor for drawing a bigger crowd by using the same techniques he’s used for a lifetime …only better. The young guy sometimes just do it better. It’s a natural evolution of their worldly way of doing church. The kids just do it better, don’t criticize them, just begin to do it the Lords way.

I remember as a child an anti-smoking commercial a young boy yelling back at his father “I learned it by watching you.”

Similarly, “Worship leaders” which are not even really a thing from scripture, using their celebrity to voice doubt publically is sort of the natural evolution of entertainment-church mindset.

Entertainment church leaders need talented entertainers, not apostles and not necessarily even Jesus followers. Just musical talent and the desire to put on a great looking and sounding show.

Of course some of them will use their influence to pull people away from the Lord. Were they ever really with Jesus or just playing the part you provided for them? Didn’t you see that coming Mr. Skillet? Godless things devolve, they decay, they erode and are undone even at church.
