What’s Wrong with the Evangelical Church?
I have been listening to frustrated saints asking that question since 1983, myself included. The following statement I recently observed on Facebook is an excellent sample:
Much of the American church is delusional, paralyzed, and perhaps even impotent. We are not prepared to receive those who desire truth nor do we even want them. If we did, things would be different. We have a religion of convenience, void of passion and sacrifice; we serve a God invented by our own devices and happy not to be disturbed.
The answer is simple: Protestantism is a false gospel, and its temple is the institutional church, its supported seminaries, and missionary networks. The above description just doesn’t happen on its own, something causes it; specifically, a false gospel.
Ok, Here is My Response to the Platt Appointment
Apparently, some are surprised that I haven’t written a post in response to mega-heretic David Platt being appointed to president of the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. I did answer one email that questioned me about this, and I hereby copy and paste my answer to the question:
No, I do not plan on writing a response to the Platt appointment for the following reason: after eight years of researching Neo-Calvinism (four years full time), I am underwelmed by the news. What happens in the present-day Neo-Calvinist church culture is deemed as expected behavior by me. Neo-Calvinism is a return to the exact same Gnosticism that saturated first century culture and wreaked havoc on the apostolic church. Most evangelicals are outright Gnostics, or unwittingly function as Gnostics. Platt’s appointment is a mere appointment of a Gnostic priest to a Gnostic institution. I have also come to believe that “church” as an institution is a Gnostic concept. True revival will only take place if Christians return to the intended model of home fellowship networks.
