Does it necessarily follow that evangelical cooperation will sideline important doctrines? <BR/>No, it does not. I still think we need to cooperate with each other but to do so around a commonly held core of truth. What has happened is that the capacity to think about life in biblical terms has begun to disintegrate. That then meant that in this great evangelical coalition are those who doff their hats to the authority of Scripture but really see little relevance for that truth in "doing church" in our contemporary world. The results are now everywhere to be seen in our churches. George Barna's polling numbers make dismal reading. It is not so much that particular doctrines have lost their saliency. Rather, it is the capacity to think about ourselves, our churches, and our world in biblical ways that has been slowly disintegrating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413603074631893432.post-86032447930613342302008-05-27T21:05:00.000-04:002008-05-27T21:05:00.000-04:00Wow bro!

And, very appropriately I must boldly lift my hand and also proclaim "guilty!" in that same area. But wait a minute, I thought Baptists were right and everyone else was wrong? When did that change? lol!C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04625947235798226748noreply@blogger.com
