Needed: A BOLD ORTHODOXY

Great article Steve on the Emergent movement

Needed: A BOLD ORTHODOXY …the biblical answer to the “PC” State of EMERGENT evangelicalism – CWN: “What is needed in today’s religious climate and culture is a bold orthodoxy. The Emergent Church is proud of their ‘humble’ orthodoxy. Truth to them is liquid, fluid, changing, evolving, and must remain adaptable to the times. By comparison, they mock the Scriptures as being God’s infallible, inerrant Word; they wrest the gospel of its exclusiveness; they misrepresent the character of the One Triune God; they reduce the ministry of Jesus to Him being a social engineer or a compassionate advocate for the rights of the oppressed; they deny the existence of hell, penal substitutionary atonement, justification by faith alone, and that church shouldn’t primarily be about the glory of God, but about us.”

“True love doesn’t soften biblical Christianity for the sake of keeping peace; and it doesn’t water-down its truth claims to fit in with the postmodern times. In all honesty, The Emergent Church has royally missed it. The world, beloved, isn’t asking for the church to “relate” to them; BUT, they ARE asking for genuine, tough, honest answers–to their very real and difficult questions; and to see the gospel applied to every area of life in which they function. We live in profoundly dangerous and evil times; and this is not a season for weak, cowardice men absent of strong biblical convictions to try and lead”

“Throw into this quadrate the “leaven” of the prosperity gospel; patriotism being equated with biblical Christianity; post-modern ecclesiology; pragmatism, a therapeutic form of sanctification, ecumenism, and the self-esteem/human potentiality movement and you have the disastrous recipe for a “PC” version of Christianity. This is a faith which is pleasing to man, but an offense to God. It is not representative of biblical Christianity anymore than The Message is representative of a real bible. Ultimately, it tragically leads to apostasy (Galatians 1:6-9).“
