much of what we see and experience in contemporary christianity is not leading us into the depths of God. if anything, it is making us restless and dissatisfied…we grow weary of trivial controversies and petty jealousies that divide the church, massive buildings and glittery programs that dazzle but do not make disciples, self-help sermons that gloss over the great truths of the biblical faith, styles of worship that pander to popular tastes, christian leaders who strive for political influence at the cost of faithfulness to the gospel…
…every generation of believers faces the risk of becoming a prisoner to its own myopic vision of the christian faith, assuming that how it understands and practices the faith is always the best…
