Bible Note: Hello Doc, As I've stated before, my views are mixed. I agree with Tim's point in that we are to be intentionally involved and working in regards to the kingdom of heaven within the local church. That is something the modern church has lost sight of. We are a community of saints and should be acting like it. On the other hand, I disagree with Bro. Warren's methodology. I noticed some disagreeing with your statement of coexisting "contentedly with the flesh and falleness of the many who are on the broad way." I think that's an astute observation. New programs and ideas remove the shame of sin and the cross in order to present an upbeat gospel. Not that there is anything incorrect in what is being stated--it's simply incomplete. And we cannot be saved if we do not first appreciate the sinfulness and fallenness of our natural condition. One cannot be saved if he does not know he's lost. Steve |
