American Christianity is known for an innocuous gospel. We offer enough of the "real" thing to keep people from being tranformed by the life changing power of God. An addiction to church growth stats often leads to this sad reality. While I do not affirm everything Mark Dever asserts I completely agree with the following statements - "The gospel is the heart of Christianity. But the good news is not that God wants to meet people's felt needs or help them develop a healthier self-image. We have sinfully rebelled against our Creator and Judge. Yet He has graciously sent His Son to die the death we deserved for our sin, and He has credited Christ's acquittal to those who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus' death and resurrection. That is the good news." Amen to that!
See Ya'll Tonight
