1 | Fear God! | 1 Pet 1:17 | Reformer Joe | 35823 | ||
I don't think that we are viewed quite as the Puritans are. The general view of the Puritans is the grim, black-wearing, somber "fun police" who lived in fear that "someone, somewhere may be happy" as H.L. Mencken put it. I see modern evangelicals characterized more as hypocrites (often true) or "fuzzy-headed" people that need a "crutch" to make it through the day. We are dastardly people who try to force our religion on other people, to be sure, but we are much wimpier about it than the Puritans were! :) --Joe! |

Joe I agree with your assessment of evangelicals today, most are viewed as hypocrites. I also agree that much of that is not without foundation. We are a church with our feet in the world. We resort to worldly ways for everything and moan like the world when we don’t have what we are looking for. Where is the victory? Where is the sanctification? Where is the Holy living? Christ has given us the victory and we the church of Jesus Christ should live it! Instead we mamby pamby around trying to be friends with the world and friends with of the Lord. The church isn’t despised today because it is following Jesus it is despised today because it fails to live with it expounds. EdB |
