On Thursday, Tim Challies, noted blogger in the Reformed community, posted “Thinking Biblically about C.J. Mahaney and Sovereign Grace Ministries.” He should have written “Thinking Biblically about Pastors Who Protect Sexual Predators and Devastate Victims.” Tim always purports to think biblically for his readers but he often errs in his use of Scripture.
Over the past 18 months, Tim’s message has remained the same regarding C.J. Believe the best about him, remain ignorant, and don’t form an opinion about him or SGM. Tim reminds me of Neville Chamberlain.
Tim and C.J. are not buddies but Tim is buddies with C.J.’s Reformed friends. His claim of neutrality is bogus. He is a spokesman for C.J.’s friends which means he is effectively a spokesman for C.J.
I also wish Tim had written on the subject of “Thinking Biblically about the Nature of Love, Truth and Justice” with 1 Corinthians 13:6 in mind. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.”
Lastly, I wish he were a bonafide journalist. From what he has written in his post, there is no reason to believe he even read the class action lawsuit against C.J. and SGM. Here is how he summarized it.
