“The disappearance of theology from the life of the Church, and the orchestration of that disappearance by some of its leaders, is hard to miss today, but oddly enough, not easy to prove. It is hard to miss in the evangelical world--in the vacuous worship that is so prevalent, for example, in the shift form God to the self as the central focus of faith, in the psychologized preaching that follows this shift, in the erosion of its conviction, in its strident pragmatism, in its inability to think incisively about the culture, in its reveling in the irrational.” ThinkingWorldSelfHardEnoughTodayFormCultureEasyChurchLeaderFocusMissingExampleProveWorshipConvictionTheologyPreachingIrrationalInabilityEvangelicalProve ItDisappearancePragmatismErosionOrchestrationVacuous Author:David F.

“The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is that God rests too inconsequentially upon the church. His truth is too distant, His grace is too ordinary, His judgment is too benign, His gospel is too easy, and His Christ is too common.” WorldProblemTodayEasyChristChurchCommonGraceTruth IsJudgmentOrdinaryFundamentalsWorld TodayEvangelicalBenign Author:David F.
