“Too much preaching nowadays pats the back and tickles the ear, but does not get under the skin. There is no conviction and therefore no conversion. I am thinking not only of the ministry of reproof and rebuke but also of the message of inspiration, of encouragement, of comfort. People go out of church at noon with the depths unstirred, the heart untouched, the conscience unpricked.” PeopleThinkingHeartDoeInspirationChristianChurchToo MuchComfortMessagesConscienceSkinsEarsEncouragementDepthConvictionChristian InspirationalConversionMinistryPreachingNoonRebukeReproof Author:Vance Havner

“For Christians to be linked in association with ministries who do not preach the gospel of Christ is to incur moral guilt. A Union which can continue irrespective of whether its member churches belong to a common faith is not fulfilling any scriptural function. The preservation of a denominational association when it is powerless to discipline heretics cannot be justified on the grounds of the preservation of 'Christian unity'... It is error which breaks the unity of churches, and to remain in a denominational alignment which condones error is to support schism.” ChristianChristChurchCommonMoralBreakSupportDisciplineMembersFunctionGuiltUnionsErrorsUnityAssociationMinistryFulfillingPreservationLinkedPowerlessJustifiedAlignmentHereticSchismChristian Unity Author:Charles Haddon
“Without a thorough and deeply rooted understanding of the biblical view of truth as revealed, objective, absolute, universal, eternally engaging, antithetical and exclusive, unified and systematic, and as an end in itself, the Christian response to postmodernism will be muted by the surrounding culture or will make illicit compromises with the truth-impoverished spirit of the age. The good news is that truth is still truth, that it provides a backbone for witness and ministry in postmodern times, and that God's truth will never fail.” StillsEndsAgeChristianSpiritCultureUnderstandingViewsFailingTruth IsNewsUniversalAbsolutesResponseObjectivesCompromiseWitnessRootedMinistryBiblicalEngagingGood NewsExclusiveSystematicThoroughBackboneUnifiedPostmodernismPostmodern Author:Douglas Groothuis
