Jay Bakker and the Revolution Church

Last night, I sat and watched all 6 episodes of the show "One Punk Under God". This is a program about Jay Bakker and the Revolution Church. Jay Bakker is the son of Jim and Tammy Bakker. This young man has a unique theology. He preaches grace as an absolute, and that we should love and accept people. It sounds good, doesn't it. However, there is more to the story.

Jay Bakker's theology has a major flaw. He preaches grace, but does not preach against sin. He embraces unconditional love, but allows sin to abound in the life of his church. Jay declares homosexuality is not a sin. The Bible teaches grace and liberty, but we are not to use it as an ocassion to the flesh. We are not to practice a lifestyle of sin. Yes, God loves and has grace, but there is always commitment.

This young man has gotten burnt because of his parents flaws. He was the innocent victim of the whole ordeal. Now, we have have a young man preaching hersey, because of the judgemental church. Yes, many of us owe the Bakkers an apology for not forgiving them of there sins and mistakes. This is why we have this young man, following a gospel that is not the truth. I have a true burden for this young man, and some of his theological flaws are to combat how the "church" delt with his family.

Jay is just one outspoken example of the lost generation, how many more of the young adults from the church are like Jay. May we pray, and take a stand for the truth, never forgeting to LOVE.
