Subject: Emergent Church question |
Bible Note: Doc, if the Emergent Church Movement and others of a similar stripe keep whittling away at that fragile one-half inch crust....what, I ask rhetorically, will remain? ..... Yet when, in despair, I bow my head, the words of our Lord flood my soul and afford me blessed surcease of sorrow: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away" (Mark 13:31). Trouble invariably comes about when men who would aspire to follow Christ forget two things: That the Bible is the authoritative, inerrant and plenary word of God, and that God is absolutely sovereign. ...... But man so easily forgets that God is sovereign and makes himself the center of his own private universe, including the organism he calls the church. But a man wrapped up in himself makes a small package. --Hank |
