The principal issue of dispute I have with certain of the leadership of EveryNation is the mounting evidence of going soft on moral absolutes.
While the official position is hardline Biblical position I fully support, there are a lot of ministers who hold to a compromised, double-standards, flexible, pragmatic approach to moral standards. Essentially, the Bible becomes no longer God's commands for us to obey, but a set of interesting suggestions and recommendations for good living - and a set of interesting resources to draw on for sermon illustrations. If it is convenient we obey it, if not - well God will forgive us so we can basically do what we like.
This means that the criterion for right and wrong becomes whatever the EveryNation leadership want it to be. Their word becomes more important than God's word. Thus like a corrupt medieval Pope, they can grant exceptions to God's commands if they want to.
To this I answer: Scripture alone. Lets return to the word of God

Alright, that's a fair criticism.
What have you done about it?
Read Matthew 18:15-17. There's your game plan.
Sometimes it is hard to find someone responsible enough and brave enough and conscientious enough to "go with you" I think that this Board would be a good source of someone with which to fulfill this role.
And these days I think that a letter is better than nothing, although face to face always works better for anything.
