Andy Stanley Apologizes to Pagans, Blames the Church for Them Leaving Christianity

Andy Stanley has been in our headlines quite a bit in recent weeks as we have exposed on a massive scale the pro-homosexual sentiment with his network of churches. Stanley, the pastor of North Point Ministries, preached a sermon a while back explaining how homosexuals have more faith than most Christians because, according to him, they love Jesus more than we do because they worship him despite all the “rejection” they get from Christians.

Stanley has always been a false teacher, but in recent years, he has become essentially a full-time mouthpiece making apologies for the Church speaking the truth to Pagans who were so offended by it that they left the Church.

You’re not there to build them up, then just shut up. Because you’re doing more to harm than good. If you’re not a Christian, chances are it was the reckless, unchristlike words of Christians that either drove you away or keep you away, or the reckless, un-christlike words of Christians spoken to someone you love that drove you away or keep you away. 

That for the reason you decided to leave faith. And if that’s the case, I am so sorry. And I hope that you will look past us and beyond us to Jesus, who and you’re going to love this. If you’re not a Christian, you’re going to love this. 

So look past us to Jesus, who reserved his harshest words for religious people who were careless with their words toward the people he loved. 

Stanley’s words demonstrate his profound ignorance of Christianity and faith. Stanley believes that when speaking the truth drives someone away from the Church, we shouldn’t speak it. But when understood properly, true Christianity will inevitably drive people away. Everyone loves to quote John 3:16, but nobody wants to quote the remaining part of Jesus’s words directly following it. In His discourse on God so loving the world, in verse 20, Jesus explains that “For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.”

It isn’t the Church that is driving lost people away from Christianity, it’s the truth. Lost people hate the truth and do not want to be accountable to God for their wickedness. What they want is a god, like Andy Stanley’s god, who will accept them just how they are, allow them to continue to wallow in their sin with no accountability and no call to repentance, and never confront them with the truth. The reason these people leave the Church is that they love their sin more than they love the God who sent His Son to die for sinners.
