Ran across this a little while ago on an archived page on one of my sites.
“You wonder if sometimes we should be more concerned about gossip in the Church than liberalism in the media.”
Jeremiah 9.12-14
12 I asked, “Is there anyone around bright enough to tell us what’s
going on here? Anyone who has the inside story from GOD and
can let us in on it?
“Why is the country wasted?
“Why no travelers in this desert?”
13 GOD’s answer: “Because they abandoned my plain teaching.
They wouldn’t listen to anything I said, refused to live the way I
told them to.
14 Instead they lived any way they wanted and took up with the
Baal gods, who they thought would give them what they
wanted–following the example of their parents.”
