Good Books: Os Speaks Out
I just re-read this long long sentence by Os Guinness in hi s book, "Prophetic Untimeliness" and was again challenged by the difficulty of living as a true disciple of Jesus Christ in this day and age.
In its place a new evangelicalism is arriving in which therapeutic self-concern overshadows knowing God, spirituality displaces theology, end-times escapism crowds out day-to-day discipleship, marketing triumphs over missions, references to opinon polls outweigh reliance on biblical exposition, concerns for power and relevance are more obvious than concern for piety and faithfulness, talk of reinventing the church has replaced prayer for revival, and the characteristic evangelical passion for missionary enterprise is overpowered by the all-consuming drive to sustain the muliple busines empires of the booming evangelical subculture.
Amen!
