The Crisis of Evangelical Christianity
What does it mean to be an "evangelical"? What does it mean to be part of an "evangelical church" or community? Is it just a word of preference or a mere Christian social subset? How sad it is to observe, especially in this post-modern era, that the rank and standard of evangelicalism has all but lost it's weight and meaning in the minds of those who are without and even in those who are within.

Are We Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats?!
An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, so gross in its impudence, that the most shortsighted can hardly fail to notice it during the past few years. It has developed at an abnormal rate, even for evil. It has worked like leaven until the whole lump ferments.
