Top Highlights
“Here’s the main reason why seeker sensitivity and sound doctrine must ultimately and inevitably clash: Because the Gospel itself is a stumbling block; an offense to unbelievers and the unchurched. We can’t make our message palatable to everyone and maintain its purity at the same time.” (Page 33)
“Open Theism, there are three which I would like to address: (1) it provides no foundation from which to rightly understand God’s character and works; (2) it gives no ultimate sense to a world of sin and evil; (3) and it brings no lasting comfort to the believer.” (Page 41)
“And those churches held up as examples tend to be the ones whose ministries have been molded and shaped by pragmatic philosophies of church growth … where it is truth versus technique and truth is losing out.” (Page 32)
“Note, the three things necessary are Truth, leading to Life, which in turn leads to Ministry.” (Page 9)
“Let’s face it: pragmatism is a significant change in direction for evangelical Christianity. Until the last part of the Twentieth Century, virtually all the great churches since the Protestant Reformation deemed great and worthy of emulation were primarily so because they had great pulpits. They were primarily known for their great preaching. Some were large churches like Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, or Barnhouse’s Tenth Presbyterian in Philadelphia.” (Page 32)
