Falling Away
Skillet’s John Cooper had an excellent post on Facebook recently: https://cogentchristianity.com/2019/08/13/skillets-john-cooper-on-apostasy-among-young-christian-leaders/
We see Christian leaders fall away from their faith who might seem really surfacy or really deep, and then everything in between. Just as feelings and experience don’t necessarily equate to a true faith on the one end, knowing doctrine and what the Bible says also doesn’t mean someone has true faith.
When you examine Christian leaders who either step away from their faith or step away from their faith or who are disqualified for some reason, there seems to be a common denominator: self absorption.
