\u201cHead in a Vice\u201d by nakedpastor David Hayward<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>I was talking with a man the other day who heads up an international ministry. He goes around the world encouraging pastors and congregations. He said that he is amazed at the level of political correctness that exists in the church. It is rampant. You not only have to believe a certain way, but speak and behave a certain way, in order to belong.<\/p>\n
Some aren\u2019t happy until every aspect of your life is controlled. Including how you read and comprehend. Especially the bible. Another person told me yesterday that he had a bible thrown at him by a pastor for asking too many questions.<\/p>\n
Head in a vice! Some think that\u2019s a good idea. But that\u2019s the thinking of control. Thought control.<\/p>\n
