Thanks for the ping, Mom. I will return to read this in-depth. I like JM too.

Thanks for the ping, RnMomof7. I'd been wondering if your bump list was still in effect.

I'm glad to say that this article doesn't apply to my local PCA church. We hear the Bible faithfully preached every Sunday. We also have wonderful music! I think I now have a better understanding of what it means to worship "in spirit and truth" than I did before I became a Calvnist. John Piper wrote that worship is an end in itself, not a means to an end. How true!

My former pastor...he officiated at our wedding.

Did you see his two appearances on Larry King LIve...he was only one standing on the Word, and the Gospel!

I think that the problem with evangelical pragmatism goes back to the 1950s, to evangelical leaders like Billy Graham. One of the problems I've had with his style of evangelism is that results are measured in terms of how many people "came forward" at one of his crusades. It was as if the parable of the sower had no significance whatsoever.
