I didn't realize there was a movement to take down the cross. I've moved around a bit, and been shocked to see some "churches" with no cross or religious trappings at all. I think the article makes a valid point, it's time for more denominations to stand for what they believe in. The moral relativism that's creeping into Churches is frightening. I'm not above there being some changes as time goes on, but there need to be boundaries. Some things just are, and always will be, wrong.
Have you heard of the Word of Faith? They call the Cross a place of defeat, and claim that Jesus became a sinner on the Cross and went to the burning part of Hell where He was tormented for 3 days and nights until God the Father said "it's enough" and Jesus was born again and then resurrected from the dead. Of course I don't consider them Christians, anybody who believes that Jesus was a sinner at any time, does not deserve that title. But they have a lot of influence on Christian churches. I would advise them to remember Paul's warning to the Galatians: "but even if we, or an angel of heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed" (Gal 1:8).
