Status Updates From Sanctification: Gods Passio...

“[Church leaders] lost sight of the fact that their job was not to make unbelievers happy with the church. It was to feed and lead and guard the flock of God and to teach the saints, to be like Christ. The pragmatic philosophies they adopted eliminated any emphasis on sin, righteousness, and judgment, the very issues Jesus said the Holy Spirit would convict the world about, John chapter 16, verses 8 through 11.”

“Prior to the 1960s, at church you expected to be thoughtful and quiet, prayerful, sober, reflective. The Word of God was read and proclaimed with the aim of leading you to understanding, conviction, transformation. The structure was deliberate, and the objective was for people to have an encounter with God through an understanding of his truth with an opportunity to express it in corporate worship.”
